for you campers, on the bottom of the Lodging page HERE, there are several other campsites available. I believe that Cheoah and Cable Cove are the closest to Fontana
I just reserved a hook-up site! There were no more standard sites so I took what I could get.
Oh, but hookups are a good thing! You have a plug for a little heater (in case it's cold in your tent) and a water hookup. Take a hose, bucket, and supplies and you can give your MINI a bath every afternoon.
I just got the last hook-up site. Apparently when I called a month ago they only checked tent sites, and did not include hook-up sites, which are $10 more per night.

Reason: clarify
We are camping again this year (third MOTD, second time camping) at Fontana. Where are you setting up camp?
You'll have a great time. Haven't decided if I'm going to bother with towing the popup camper down again or just go with tents this time....probably will wait until closer to the event to decide. The camper is great, but 7 hrs each way towing a camper with a MINI is not exactly a relaxing drive....so I'm leaning towards the tents at this point.
FWIW, I didn't see any major wildlife (bears, deer, etc.) at the campground, but I'm sure they are around.
I think we seen you on our way home last year pulling the pop up =D we are from Indiana also
It was very likely me. If it was a red Cooper pulling a red popup camper with a big *** Union Jack painted on the roof.....that was me.
I have a blue Cooper S now, so if I take the camper, I'll have to repaint it to match the car again, of course! Not too sure I'll be able to closely match Laser Blue with latex paint, though.
I'm still not sure if we will be towing the pop up, but I finally got it repainted to match the new car....so I thought I'd share. Not a bad match for blue latex gloss paint against a metallic blue car.
This will by my third MOTD, and third year camping. The atmosphere in the campground is phenomenal. Plan on having nightly campfires for the entire camping community. Last year we had one morning where we cooked pancakes and everyone chipped in with this or that.
Looks like I am coming to MOTD- my third time. I know there are other campgrounds, but Fontana is too convenient. I am planning to arrive late Thursday night (driving from Indy after work) and depart on Sunday. I'll split the cost of course.
Is anyone willing to share a small corner of their campsite? It's just me and a tent. . .
