About This Property

Campground Brokers of America, in conjunction with JDS Real Estate, Inc, is pleased to present a lovely 50-site, 14-acre, age-restricted (55+) RV and park model cabin community positioned near Lake Chatuge in the Blue Ridge Mountains and adjacent to the Nantahala National Forest. The property sits inside one of the strongest-performing southeast tourism submarkets: the Smoky Mountains and Cherokee region, which posted the largest visitor-spending growth of any NC mountain sector in 2025. It's niche positioning — tranquility, simplicity, and long-stay value over heavy resort amenities — combined with an antiquated operating structure (cash/check/phone only) and untapped mountain-view expansion acreage, gives new ownership a clear value-add roadmap layered on top of a dynamite location. Seller is offering creative financing, lowering the barrier to entry and providing a fair pathway to bypass third party approvals, instead working directly with a motivated, long-tenured owner.

Investment Highlights

Expansion Acreage: With strong seasonal occupancy and demand, the offering provides justifiable room to grow into acreage which overlooks sweeping farm, lake, and mountain views.
Central to Four SE Metros: Roughly 80 miles from Asheville, 90 miles from Chattanooga, 95 miles from Atlanta, and 115 miles from Knoxville — a genuine crossroads position.
Outdoor Rec Density: Immediate proximity to Lake Chatuge, the Nantahala and Chattahoochee National Forests, and within striking distance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Resilient Tourism Market: The Smoky Mountains & Cherokee tourism region posted the strongest 2025 growth (+4.3%) of any North Carolina mountain region, led by double-digit growth in neighboring Cherokee (+13.9%) and Macon (+11.1%) counties.
Differentiated Niche: One of few age-restricted (55+) parks in the immediate area, competing on tranquility and long-stay value.
On-Site Living Quarters: Full owners’ quarters provide perfect accommodation for on-site operators, or a space for live-in management.
Park Models Included: Sale includes two upscale park model cabins valued at $175,000 – one brand new, and a second well-maintained, generating fast revenue upside.
Value-add Opportunities: Modernize booking/payment processing (currently cash/check/phone only), ancillary fee capture, website/online marketing optimization, rate/yield management, and site expansion.
