We are staying here long term and plan to return the next year. Our reasons are simple:…read more1. It is quiet and peaceful. After living by major highways and the airport in Austin, TX it is a huge deal; 2. It is close to the Chatuge Lake ( it's not on the lake, but it's literally 1.5 miles to the public lake access); 3. They have WiFi; 4. The owners are the sweetest people you have ever met and they make you feel so welcome; 5. It is close to everything you ever wanted to do in this area. 6. The campground itself is super clean and well maintained. By the way, it's under a new ownership so I hear it's night and day from what it was before; 7. Did I say it's quiet and peaceful? Other positives: there is a cute babbling brook where our kids can wade; a fishing pond, where they can catch and release ( but mostly feed ) the fish; they have potlucks every month or so; outdoor games on the lawn; the price for all this is unbelievable ( compared to what we are used to ). There are no real negatives, except there has been bear sightings, but hey, it's the mountains and people really need to start be careful about what they leave outside. Also, please note that it is secluded, so don't be alarmed if your GPS takes you to residential area. Just follow the road to the campground sign. 2016 Update: With new improvements it's even better than last summer.

It's been over a year since we tent camped, and this usually sets me up for a night of no sleep,…read morebut biting the bullet for the sake of experiencing the great out doors is what it's all about. Long Ridge is a very well run camp ground with wonderful bathrooms and showers. They have spots for tent and electric and water van hook ups so they cater to all manner of camping. And while they advertise two night minimums online, if you call a person they'll let you stay for one night. Our neighbor smoked cigars and had slow R&B music playing till about 9pm and then it was quiet. We able to get a fire started fairly easily at our site. There was a pond with fish in it for catch and release only. No other amenities. The night was quiet and got down to the low 50s and I slept well enough to function the next day. All in all a great time here.

We hiked to the summit of Tray Mountain via Andrew's Cove. Although we had been to Tray Mountain…read morebefore, it was usually via Unicoi; this was our first time using the Andrew's Cove route. The hike was nearly 10 miles round trip and quite challenging. The weather was perfect, though a bit humid from recent rains, and we were soaked with sweat. We felt like we finally found a team with determination and patience. One of our new team members, nicknamed AlphaGo, had previously hiked ABC and EBC in Nepal. He was an amazing hiker, full of knowledge, humility, and a righteous manner. We truly enjoyed his company, along with his wife's.

Water is available via a hand water pump across from site #8 and the toilets are vault toilets but were well kept and did not smell horrible. The stream is gorgeous stream and loud enough to drown out most road noise. There are some hazardous trees and one 6inch tree did fall while we were there this weekend during a thunderstorm. At the back of the campground is a ~2 mile trail that connects to the AT. Most sites have a tent pad that will accommodate a 10'x10' tent. Sites 2, 4, and 8 driveways can really only accommodate 1 car and there are no extra parking spots. Driveways for sites 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 can accommodate 2 cars. Sites 1 and 3 are adjacent to the road and is going to be impacted by road noise. There is no campground host so be prepared to either scavenge wood or buy it in town, same goes for ice.

Fantastic experience at Big Bear Cabins. Went in July for a small family reunion. Each family had…read moretheir own small and perfectly sized cabin. Loved the two separate bedrooms and the special little loft area that served as a third bedroom for our youngest. The unit was clean, cozy, super log cabin like, had great Wifi and TVs, a washer and dryer and little kitchen and bathroom with a tub. Great front porch and a pull out couch if needed. Plenty of seating. It was super private yet close to all things like grocery stores and restaurants. Close enough to the other cabins but still gave each family space. The biggest house worked great for everyone to get together and eat together. AC worked great. Great little grill and fire wood and a fire pit. So quiet. Host was awesome and super at giving us ideas for where to go and what to do and eat. Highly recommend. Great little town and amazing cabins. Well done! Thanks for giving us a chance to reconnect and refresh in a perfect home away from home. Hope to be back.
