Trip West - Moonshine Creek Campground

 We leave Smokemont Campground and the Smokey Mountain National Park and head to Moonshine Creek Campground in Sylva where we will be until November 1st.  We are early so we stop in Cherokee to have a picnic lunch by the River

A nice park follows the river through the main part of town

Tubing is a big Summer pastime here.

We finish lunch and head to the Campground

It is set back in the woods a couple of miles, so past the Balsam Post Office

Follow the RR Tracks

and we find it

Up the Hill

We arrive at the Office

and get settled into our site

and I take a tour of the campground.  This covered bridge leads over to the walk-in Tent sites

Wood and one stone bridge cross over the creek between the RV and Tent sites

and end at retaining ponds

That's OK Tucson you can still get in the creek

The RV sites all back up to the Creek, the ones that are not on the Creek are seasonal sites

A road up to the ridge leads to covered drive-in Tent Sites

Overlooking the main campground

There are "camping cabins" up here. Basically a wooden tent with beds

The railroad passes through here too.
