FAQ

How much does camping cost in Macon County?

The supplied listings do not include rates. Ask each campground for current nightly, monthly, seasonal, cabin, and RV-rental pricing, since those options vary by property.

What hookups should I look for when booking an RV site?

Mi Mountain offers full electric, water, and sewer hookups year-round, while Cartoogechaye Creek lists 30-amp and 50-amp service. Confirm the required amperage, sewer availability, site length, and pad type before booking.

Which campgrounds are open outside the main camping season?

Mi Mountain's RV full-hookup sites are available year-round, but its tent sites and cabins run from April 1 through November 15. Cartoogechaye Creek's seasonal camping runs from April 1 through October 31.

Are there campgrounds for large groups or church retreats?

Tellico Christian Camp accommodates up to 48 campers in cabins and tents and provides bathhouses, showers, and a kitchen. It is intended for group camping rather than RV-hookup stays.

Can I bring a pet to a Macon County campground?
