It is quite obvious why most people choose to rent an RV and visit the stunning Appalachian Region: lush, temperate rainforests, ancient mountain ranges, extensive biodiversity, and too many parks to possibly name. Gorges State Park is a stunning example of what you can see when you take your Cashiers RV rental out into the peaceful woods of North Carolina. This incredible forest was once leveled by a surge of water overflowing from Lake Toxaway after the dam broke in 1916, so the entire forest has since regenerated and become a peaceful recreation haven. Now the park offers year-round fun for those who visit, from mountain biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, and camping. Gorges State Park is located adjacent to Pisgah National Forest, a sprawling wilderness known for its epic sights and beautiful scenery. This half-million-acre forest is filled with winding rivers, secret waterfalls, lofty mountain views, and old-growth forests. Pisgah National Forest is fantastic for backpacking, trekking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, long-distance hiking, rock climbing, and expert-level mountain biking on some of the toughest trails imaginable. Three long-distance hiking trails pass through the forest, and several designated campgrounds make it easy for you to spend the night in your Cashiers motorhome rental.
Devil’s Fork State Park is an exceptional outdoor destination located over the border in South Carolina, so don’t hesitate to bring your Cashiers RV rental for a road trip into a different state. The park sits comfortably on the shores of Lake Jocassee, a fishing enthusiast's dream, teeming with a variety of fish like rainbow trout, crappie, catfish, and largemouth bass. There are boat ramps, as well as old town ruins at the bottom of the human-made lake.
It may be a few hours’ drive away, but Great Smoky Mountains National Park deserves your consideration if you are looking for an epic place to satiate your hunger for ethereal natural beauty and blissful, towering mountains. The park is one of the country’s crown jewels, pulling in over eleven million visitors each year to gaze upon fertile valleys and epic fall foliage. The observation tower at Clingmans Dome gives guests a jaw-dropping panoramic view of the park from above, making it one of the park’s most famous attractions. You can easily find camping accommodations in this outdoor paradise, with dozens of options scattered throughout the park.
