    Default Tent camping along the Blueridge and Maggie valley.

    I am planning on heading toward the blueridge and Maggie valley from mobile Alabama the weekend of October 28 and was going to tent camp. I was wondering if I would have a problem finding places to camp once I got there. I really don't have an itenerary and don't want to make plans, I would rather just go! What's your thoughts? It's going to be a quick three day trip but will be fun I hope. This will be the first long trip I have taken the Spyder on and am looking forward to it.

    Default Let's see....

    Back when I did that kind of stuff I usually had a KOA map showing all the camp grounds along the way. I'm sure they have something at AAA as well. You will be in some beautiful country there and should not have any problem finding a camp site....

    I have an app on my phone called "Campground Finder" that I have used successfully many times.
