Campgrounds
Crawford Camp This campground is built with the 4x4 crowd in mind! It's the only campground that we know of that has a complete outfitted shop onsite. Located just 15 minutes away from Trail #1 in the Tellico ORV area, and from Hiwassee Lake with swimming area & a marina. This campground is centrally located for the entire family to enjoy. Features include full hookup campsites with picnic tables, hot private showers, coin laundry machines, ice, gasoline, LP gas, firewood and bon fire pit. A man made "Rock Garden" and "Mud Pit" is located in the middle of the campground to test your skill & rig. A trout pond is planned for the near future. So while the kids fish, mom and dad can take their rig rock crawling without ever leaving the campground. Can it get any better than this?! Sure can, as we also have an onsite shop with TWO FULLY ENCLOSED WORK BAYS EQUIPPED WITH LIGHTS, AIR, TORCH & WELDING MACHINE. Yes, there will be an hourly charge for the use of bays, but heck, who hasn't wished for such a setup when you drag in at 10:00 at night with a broke axle or worse! New and used parts are for sale such as axle shafts, axle joints, and u-joints. Also, if the repair job is too big for you to tackle, there is a local mechanic right next door to the campground (Crawford camp information coutesy of Tellico4x4.com)
