2007 – Flaming Arrow CG

The Flaming Arrow CG is listed as being at Whittier, NC. It’s a rural, family oriented CG just 2 miles from the Harrah’s Resort Hotel/Casino complex at Cherokee, NC. It’s becoming huge and has added a bowling alley (16 lanes), a large game room for the underage guests with a large cafeteria.

We drove to this CG from the Bean Pot in TN. We had planned for a 10 day to 2 week stay. The location is quiet and off the highway. From there you can make day trips to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, TN. There are numerous CGs in the close by Great Smoky Mountain, NP for overnight camping away from your rig. The NP requires more than one day just driving its road network. As you leave there on the way back to Cherokee there is an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway where there is a great restaurant overlooking the valleys below.

There is no easy way to get to Cherokee from TN. I don’t recommend trying to go through the Smokey Mountains with a large rig. We drove around on I-40 to US-74 and then all the way back to Cherokee. For first time visitors you may want to go up US-19 (Maggie Valley). It’s slow and busy with not many places to pull-off. There is some nice RV Parks/CGs on that road but they fill-up very early in the spring and without reservations I’d not want to try and find a spot on a vacation weekend. Even with early reservations we had to park in the trees at the Flaming Arrow.
