Springtime is upon us. This brings about many daydreams of being outdoors and away from work and any responsibilities at home. Many families begin making plans for Spring Break getaways and summer vacations. But in today’s economy, hotel rooms are just too hard to justify. Room rates are usually so expensive that a family just cannot afford more than one or maybe two nights away. Staying in a hotel room also means lunches and dinners out, which simply causes even more expense. Camping is a wonderful solution to those financially encumbered. Usually, camping facilities are in very picturesque places with many outdoor things to do such as hiking or swimming. Outdoor cooking is also one of those highly favored activities. Parents spend days or even weeks planning the perfect meals to be prepared either on the open flame of a fire pit or on a grill. There is nothing finer than a meal cooked and consumed outside.
Ela Campground in Bryson City is a wonderful destination for your family this year. They are located next to the Tuckaseegee River and are just miles from the beautiful downtown Bryson City which is the home of the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. This lovely campground boasts many choices for riverfront camping. They have small camping cabins and RV rentals as well as many tent sites. They have many off river choices as well. Fishing is permitted from common area open decks as well as those sites that are riverfront. Ela Campground also rents tubes for floating down the river! Many who go tubing make the local diner the meeting spot for their pickup to take them back to the campground. If you are not one for the river, Ela Campground also offers a splendid pool that is 8 feet at its deepest end. But that is not all! Ela Campground has ample space for your children to ride their bikes in safety or they may choose to play on one of two playgrounds or on the basketball court. Ela Campground also offers a common pavilion with tables and a propane grill.
