Smitty's Lodge

Smitty's Lodge is a motorcycle‑friendly campground and small lodge offering cabins, tent sites (some with electric), and a few RV hookups. Facilities include a shower house, laundry with gear dryers, covered bike parking and a basic on‑site maintenance area.

Located a few miles from downtown Tellico Plains, the lodge is a convenient base for riding the Cherohala Skyway, fishing the Tellico River, or exploring the Cherokee National Forest. Owners operate bookings through the lodge website and maintain on‑site Wi‑Fi and security.

A compact, motorcycle‑oriented property with practical amenities for riders and outdoor visitors. Cabins are basic with kitchenettes; camping includes tent sites and limited RV power sites. Expect covered bike awnings, a shower house, laundry and a small maintenance area rather than full service garage facilities.

Look out for:

• Covered bike parking and motorcycle awnings.

• Renovated restrooms and a shared shower house.

• Laundry with gear/boot dryers and basic cabin kitchens.

• Limited RV options (30‑amp and 110V sites) and no on‑site dump station.

Best way to experience it:

Use Smitty’s as a base for one‑day loops on the Cherohala Skyway or fishing on the Tellico River; arrive with any specialty tools or parts you might need, as the site offers basic maintenance space but not full mechanical services.

• Book online via the lodge portal; contact info is on the official site.

• Limited RV hookups and no dump station on site.

• Facilities are rider‑focused (covered bike parking, gear dryers) rather than luxury accommodations.

• Located several miles from downtown Tellico Plains and trailheads; plan driving time.
