Our weekend camping trips begin on Friday afternoon with a twenty-minute pontoon boat ride across Fontana Lake to the remote North Shore area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. (Unless you’re open to a 20-mile hike, a boat is really the only way to get there.)

Everything is provided — the equipment, supplies, camp setup and food. In fact, camp is already set up when you arrive — maximizing your time enjoying the wilderness — a luxurious back country camp that includes comfortable 120-square-foot stand-up tents, hammocks, cots, chairs and other amenities not usually associated with deep woods camping. There’s even a portable hot shower.
What you do on your camping trip is entirely your choice although few campers pass up the opportunity to go fly fishing with an expert fishing guide. If you simply want to relax or go exploring, that’s fine too. We’ll customize the trip to your wilderness wishes.
We break camp and return to civilization after lunch on Sunday.
