Smoky Mountains Wilderness Basecamp Trips

A Guided Wilderness Basecamp Experience in the Heart of the Smokies

Smoky Mountains Wilderness Base Camp is not glamping and not a campground.

It is a fully guided, off-grid basecamp created for immersive, multi-day exploration of Great Smoky Mountains National Park—led by the award-winning guides of A Walk in the Woods.

Built in 2017 as one of just four Signature Camps for REI Adventures, this 90-acre wilderness basecamp serves as a quiet, comfortable home for guests who want to truly experience the Smokies, not just visit them.
