Description
MODERATOR NOTE: Place removed because camping is illegal here. Signs posted and enforced
Less than 100 yards away is the place the Appalachian Trail hikers call the Fontana Hilton. The Appalachian Trail actually runs along the sidewalk at the front of the parking area. Primary use of this lot is to serve the hikers coming through but I know it has been used for overnight stays by van life folk without being bothered. Remember it is on Federal property though and the signs will state this emphatically however as long as you are discreet they will let you be at least overnight. There is a bathroom with free hot showers down the hill close to the AT shelter.
