Deep in the national forest lands of western North Carolina, you can book an RV in Robbinsville, a pleasant community with less than a thousand people. This bite-sized town in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains is an incredible place to visit no matter the season, and it enjoys a pleasant climate throughout the year. Stunning views of the mountains and forests inspire all that drive through the area, and the great outdoors is by far the best reason to rent an RV in this particular part of the Tarheel State.

Robbinsville might be physically small and lacking in city amenities or famous attractions but it remains a wonderful jumping off point for a tour of the incredible Appalachian region, known for having a distinct culture of its own. This stunning destination is an ideal gateway to the great outdoors, as demonstrated by the countless movies that have used Robbinsville as a filming location.

Discover Robbinsville


Explore the Outdoors

Robbinsville has the pleasure of being entirely surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, which shares its name with the Nantahala River that flows through North Carolina. The word Nantahala is one of Cherokee origin, meaning “Land of the Noonday Sun” due to the thick forest canopies that only let sunlight through when the sun is directly overhead. There are over 500,000 acres of pristine wilderness that comprise the forest, and enough enchanting scenery to keep you occupied and satisfied for the duration of your Robbinsville camper rental vacation.

The Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest is located within the sprawling Nantahala National Forest and was named for the poet of the same name. This temperate rainforest is known for high amounts of rainfall, which in turn is responsible for the area’s biodiversity and amazing flora. The park’s hiking loops are absolutely magical, weaving through mazes of old-growth trees in ancient groves. Santeetlah Lake is also located within the forest and a short drive from town in your Robbinsville motorhome rental. Lots of recreational areas and campgrounds are scattered around the large manmade lake, making it easy to camp, fish, swim, and mountain bike through the woods. There are over 200 miles of hiking trails in the area, including the Appalachian Trail which connects northern Maine to Georgia.

Although it is located over the border in Tennessee, you can take your Robbinsville RV rental to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a jaw-dropping natural expanse teeming with life in all forms. It comes as a surprise to many that Great Smoky National Park is the most visited in the country with more than eleven million people entering the park per year. The ancient mountains of the park are as old as time, dating back over a billion years. Magnificent geological features like Clingmans Dome rise from the earth, giving onlookers a wealth of sights to feast their eyes on from atop the large observation tower in the middle of the park. You can, of course, camp at one of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s many campgrounds when you need a safe, cozy, and relaxing place to stay in your Robbinsville motorhome rental.

RV Parks to Visit

It should never be too much of a burden to find a place to stay when you rent an RV in Robbinsville considering the town is surrounded by the forest. Right off the bat, you can always find a suitable public campground in the forest, like Cheoah Point Campground.

Stecoah Valley RV Resort has beautiful scenery and spacious campsites. There are local golf courses nearby, as well as stores where you can stock up on supplies, and a trickling creek adjacent to the campground. Crawford’s Campground is another place to set up for the night and it has its own store so you don’t even need to leave.

Murphy/Peace Valley KOA Campground is part of a national chain known for its consistency and service. This dog-friendly park down by the town of Murphy has ample space to walk your pet, a refreshing pool to beat the heat, and a few tranquil fishing spots too.

City Sightseeing

If you are anticipating seeing a large city during your trip, you will have to find your thrills elsewhere. Knoxville, Tennessee is a two-hour drive north, and Asheville can be found by bringing your Robbinsville RV rental east. That being said, Robbinsville isn’t totally devoid of fun and entertainment despite its small size. You can find a variety of local eateries, small breweries, art galleries, and a few other small businesses in town when you take a look around. There are also lots of white-water rafting, outdoor trekking, and zip line companies in Robbinsville that you can visit.

Fontana Dam & Visitors Center might not sound so interesting at first, but anyone that takes a chance on this amazing attraction is blown away by the sheer ethereal beauty of the Nantahala River valley below. There is even a cable car that transports guests to the top of the largest dam east of the Rocky Mountains. The visitor center has a variety of items and informational displays concerning the building and history of the dam too.

The Stecoah Valley Cultural Arts Center is an excellent place to catch an art show exhibition or a summertime concert, as the center acts as a community hub for all artistically-minded people in the woodsy enclave. The rich cultural history of the Appalachian region is on display with folk and locally made artisan crafts.
