WE LOVED ENOTA!…read more
Here's the thing guys there are lots of mixed reviews but I'm gonna set you straight! If you want a swimming pool, perfectly manicured sites, organized activities, "RV Park" amenities, a ton of restaurants in driving distance and to pay hundreds of dollars to be entertained by theme parks, putt putt, boat rentals, etc-this is NOT the place for you. If you want to stay connected to the outside world, this IS NOT the place for you.
HOWEVER, Enota means, "Healing Land" and it is EXACTLY THAT. I am leaving feeling rested, refreshed and less stressed. If you are looking for peaceful, calm, old school serenity and a connection to the earth, this IS the place for you. If you are looking to feel the souls of the ancient Cherokee tribes that lived here and to put your feet in the crystal clear stream waters and hike the lush green forest to the dozens of waterfalls this IS the place for you. If you are looking for a place let your kiddos be safely free range kids this IS the place for you. If you are looking to disconnect with technology and reconnect with humans, this is the place for you!
There is no WiFi, no organized activities, no cell phone service, no swimming pool, no paved roads, no gas station within 15 miles, no store within 15 miles, no cable hook up. Sound like hell? DON'T GO.
What there IS is the most beautiful, lush, green forest you have ever been in. There is water EVERYWHERE-next to your site, next to the road, EVERYWHERE, there is a cute little lodge that sells essentials(ice, firewood, light groceries), there are shallow creeks & swimming holes safe enough for even the littlest kiddo, there are bunnies, chickens, horses & pigs, there are in ground trampolines and playgrounds,there is A SEWER HOOK UP AND CONCRETE PADS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!! WHAT?!! There are trees to put your hammocks up, there is bath houses with plenty of showers and laundry. Our kids(14,10,8) ran free and half naked all weekend.
Campers, the owner of this site loves the land. She told me she worked for God and my heart exploded. She really should call it Enota RESERVE because that's exactly what she's doing. Reserving the land as it should be. The history of the place is so super cool-ask her about it! But if you can't go and appreciate the natural state of it, there are plenty of RV parks right down the road. WE LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND! And we will be back.
