Sunset

With its mountain views and lakeside vistas, the small town of Sunset, North Carolina is as romantic as its name suggests. Nestled in the fabled Blue Ridge Mountains, with their waterfalls, gorges, and old-growth forests, this is a perfect destination to experience the rugged natural beauty of southern Appalachia. Attractions such as the Sumter National Forest, with its hiking trails and varied wildlife ranging from bobcats to hummingbirds, and the Devil’s Fork State Park with its lakeside setting, fishing, and scuba-diving possibilities are close at hand. Just over the border in neighboring Georgia lies the stunning Tallulah Gorge with its sheer 1000-foot walls and myriad waterfalls. The area is also close to several fascinating urban locations such as vibrant Greenville and North Carolina’s romantic Asheville with its historic downtown and riverside setting, allowing glampers to combine the pleasures of town and country in one go.
