Rose Creek Campground and Cabins Franklin, NC

05/26/2026

There's no better place to celebrate America's birthday than under the stars on the quiet side of the Smokies in Franklin, NC.
Come escape the heat and the hustle. Rose Creek is your base camp for a long weekend of family memories — campfires, cold mountain air, and the kind of slow-down your summer has been missing.
Spend your days tubing, hiking, and exploring the gem-rich areas that made this corner of North Carolina famous. Then gather around the fire as fireworks light up the mountain sky.
Spots fill fast over July 4th weekend — don't wait to book yours. SUMMERESCAPE gets you 15% off!

🔥 Pig Pickin' Festival — June 13th
We're firing up the pit and raising the barn.
Our culinary team is slow-smoking and open-flame cooking a spread of barbecue dishes that'll have you going back for thirds. And while the smoke rises, the strings are twangin — because Young Mountain Magic is taking the stage.
These four teenagers from the hills of Western NC and Upstate SC aren't just good. They're ridiculous.
Fiddle wizard Rainier Finley. Banjo phenom Ayden Chappell. Guitar and mandolin ace Maddox Wilson. Upright-bass whiz Ethan Chappell.
Together, they blend deep Appalachian roots with the kind of raw energy and virtuosity that makes you stop mid-bite and just listen.

Big news for our Rose Creek Campground and Cabins Franklin, NC family… 🌿

Gem City Campground (in Franklin NC) is officially part of the family!

Located just 1 mile from downtown Franklin, this 20-site campground (with 10 pull-throughs) is now the sister property to Rose Creek Campground & Cabins.

Gem City is the perfect complement to Rose Creek — smaller, closer to town, and especially ideal for midterm stays of one month or more.

If Rose Creek feels like a tucked-away mountain retreat…
Gem City feels like in-town mountain living.

A huge thank you to Camp Host Jerry and Campground Manager Chrissy for doing an incredible job implementing new systems and ensuring a smooth transition. We’ve also added additional camp host support so both properties continue delivering the high standards of hospitality you expect.

Whether you’re looking to try something closer to downtown or return to experience the splendor of Rose Creek, we would love to host you as you plan for Spring and Summer 2026.

🎉 To celebrate, we’re offering 30% OFF any 2-night stay
