Free!
Nestled on the headwaters of the Nantahala River in the mountains outside Franklin, NC, Winding Stair Campground is opening its gates for a free, drop-in Open Day on Sunday, June 7th from 12pm to 4pm. Walk the farm, explore quiet riverside campsites, and meet the Icelandic sheep before taking a tour of a genuine working grist mill, built by hand using traditional Appalachian techniques right here on the property. There’s no agenda, no reservations, and no admission fee, just a genuinely peaceful afternoon in one of the most beautiful corners of Western North Carolina. Pack a picnic, bring the family, and come see what makes this place unlike anywhere else in the mountains.
