Overview

Description

Turnkey campground opportunity in the heart of Cocke County, just minutes from the Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and approximately 3 miles from Exit 440 off Interstate 40, offering convenient access for travelers and RV traffic. Situated on approximately 11.9 surveyed acres with beautiful creek frontage, this established property offers a rare combination of natural setting, accessibility, and income potential. The campground features approximately 48 rentable sites including a mix of full hook-up RV sites, water/electric sites, and tent sites, along with a cabin rental and additional camper rental. On-site improvements include a bathhouse, camp store/check-in office, multiple storage buildings, and internal road system. A primary residence (built in 2005) is located on the property, providing an ideal setup for an owner-operator, along with an additional mobile home for potential staff housing or rental use. The property is supported by a commercial-style septic system designed for campground use, along with established utility infrastructure throughout the park. Currently operating on a seasonal schedule, the campground has a documented operating history with opportunity to increase occupancy, expand marketing reach, and enhance revenue through additional rental units or improved site utilization. Conveniently located near hiking, rafting, and outdoor recreation, this property is well-positioned to attract visitors seeking a quieter Smoky Mountain experience while still maintaining quick and easy access to major travel routes. Whether you're looking for an investment property, lifestyle business, or expansion opportunity in the growing outdoor hospitality sector, this campground offers a strong foundation with upside potential.
