A Family-Friendly, Native-Owned Vacation Destination
Spacious RV sites, cozy cabins, and tent camping
Bring your family, bring your pets, and bring your quest for adventure. Happy Holiday RV Village occupies a tree-covered island surrounded on every side by a trout-filled stream. This beautiful place in the Great Smoky Mountains is everything you imagine nature to be. Each campsite has its own stone hearth! We love ‘Nunnehi’ here (that’s Cherokee for ‘travelers’) and offer three affordable ways to stay!
Great Amenities Make a Happy Holiday
Nature provides the sunshine – we pamper the camper with everything else!
Comfort and convenience are yours! Fish for your dinner in Soco Creek and grill your catch on the stone hearth right outside your camp site. Teenagers love the vintage games in the Rec Room. The whole family will enjoy the sparkling swimming pool, playground, hot showers, immaculate restrooms, watching the ducks, and lots more. Click to see them all!
