Getting Outdoors
At almost 22-miles long and with a shoreline of around 180 miles, there is certainly plenty of space at Lake Hiwassee when you are exploring in a rental RV. Boating, water-skiing, jet-skiing and other water sports are all allowed on the lake, and in the town of Murphy, there is also access to the Hiwassee River. There are boat rental companies in Murphy and a public boat ramp in the Hanging Dog Recreation Area. There are four full-service marinas on the lake, providing boat rentals, fishing gear, and bait.
Camping at Hiwassee Lake
There are no RV campgrounds at Hiwassee Lake, but plenty within a few miles drive of the lake. Persimmon Creek Campground could be just the spot for a quiet camping getaway. The campground only has a few campsites, but with a beautiful location surrounded by forest and next to a small pond, it could be idyllic. All the sites have water and electric and free WiFi, the washrooms are modern, and there is a laundry on site. While motorhome camping here, you can learn to sift for gems at the gem mine or spend a day at the well-stocked trout pond.
Exploring the area
Murphy is the ideal spot to prepare your rental RV before heading to your chosen campground, with gas stations, plenty of stores and restaurants. While in the town, downtown Murphy has a good selection of antique and craft shops to explore, many with items made locally.

Syd the Solis was an awesome experience! My two young sons and I enjoyed everything about it and made awesome memories in the Smoky mountain national park. So many convenient amenities packed into the van made being out in the wilderness almost like being at home! The kids loved sleeping in the pop top, and the Murphy bed was so comfortable for me! Nothing like a hot water outdoor shower in the mountains while cooking awesome meals. We even rented 2 E-bikes that fit on a rack that Syd was able to carry! We saw so much, did so much, and made so many memories! Also, the van drives and handles extremely well in the curvy and steep roads in that area! I definitely recommend this RV van for you small group vacation!

The owner was terrific and wanted us to have a great experience. The camper was very comfortable and the bed was a surprise (comfy) with nice clean linens.
