The Rest and Relaxation You Need
Need time out from your hectic daily lives, but don’t know where to start? Want to create special family memories away from social media? Are you looking for a unique environment for your corporate retreat, school, church or scout group? A camping and glamping trip to Camp Atagahi might just be the answer! Once here, you can immerse yourself in the calming embrace of nature as you experience forest bathing at its finest. Our Eco camp, Camp Atagahi, will help you to reset and relax! In addition, relinquish your burdens and enjoy a few days free of technology, outside noise and responsibilities.
Surrounded by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Our sojourn takes place surrounded by Great Smoky Mountains National Park land on our private, off grid, 90 acre wooded retreat. Here, you will find camping and glamping in style with roomy tents complete with rugs, lamps, tables and cozy air mattresses. During your time at Camp Atagahi enjoy gourmet camp meals, tailored to your group. All of which are cooked on site in our commercial Eco kitchen. You’ll be drinking and bathing in refreshing, pure mountain spring water and exploring off the beaten path hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Your group can also opt to add in kayaking, rafting and/or ziplining on and above the beautiful Nantahala river! If interested, enjoy team building exercises, games or, maybe, most importantly, just relax in a hammock near a clear mountain stream. We can customize a trip based on your needs as a group.
Pricing for custom camping and glamping trips is based on a 4 person minimum. Prices vary based on the number in your party and the number of nights stayed. Availability is limited and advanced booking is highly recommended. Accommodations include large tents, comfy air mattresses, camp kitchen and host, dining deck and a bath house. Group size is limited to 20 guests.
The Legend of Atagahi, The Healing Place:
The waters are home to many kinds of wild fowl, fish and reptiles. In the skies above, birds of all kinds fly overhead or swim upon its surface. Animal tracks of all kinds led down to the waters edge. It is known that animals such as bears know how to find Atagâ’hï. They bathe in the waters which heal their wounds and cure their sickness. Atagâ’hï is a sacred place for all creatures. This is why the lake is kept from the view of most humans especially hunters.
