Indian Creek Campground of Cherokee

Indian Creek Campground of Cherokee is a campground in Cherokee, NC, located on Bunches Creek Rd. It offers 74 sites across 88 acres, including primitive tent sites, creek side sites for tents, pop-ups and small RVs, full hook up sites with water, 30 amp electric, sewer and cable, and a variety of cabins. Amenities include a camp store, restrooms with hot showers, a stocked trout stream, playground, dump station, laundry, scheduled activities and WIFI hotspots. The campground is secluded, quiet and heavily wooded, set between three mountain tops on the Cherokee Indian Reservation at the southern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Bunches Creek runs through the property and is stocked by the tribe's Fisheries and Wildlife Management Program, giving guests a place to fish. Guests have described the setting as peaceful, beautiful and serene, and the campground presents itself as small, privately owned and family oriented. It also serves as a base camp for day trips in all directions, including Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Dollywood, Franklin for gem mining, and Bryson City for white water rafting, tubing and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, along with hiking trails throughout the national park. Nearby Cherokee attractions include the Cherokee Indian Museum, the Living Indian Village, the Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama in season, and Harrah's Cherokee Casino. Reservations are accepted for the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

The campground sits about 0.2 miles from Redman Creek and 0.7 miles from Board Cove Branch. Big Witch Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway is about 1.7 miles away, as are the parkway itself and Barnett Knob Fire Tower.

For families who want a wooded, streamside stay rather than a resort pool, Indian Creek Campground of Cherokee pairs tent and RV camping with cabin stays on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains.
