One of the premier outfitting services in North Carolina, Great Smoky Mountain Fish Camp and Safaris offers an array of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and anglers.

The campsites are surrounded by miles of forest trail which meander into the rocky slides and breathtaking wilderness.

The highlight of your visit to the camp is bound to be the canoe trips and guided float fishing journeys that are offered here. You can even test your angling skills in the pristine waters of the Little Tennessee River which are famous for the small mouth bass, crappie and catfish that abound here. You can expect to haul a catch of at least a 2 pounder, a 3 or even a 4 pounder on your fishing trips. The expert specialists are always at hand to pep you up with helpful pointers and tips to aid all levels of expertise. Irrespective of whether you are a nervous amateur or a seasoned pro, you can rest assured that the bountiful waters have a pleasant surprise in store for you. You can even custom design a trip as per your specifications and round it off with a sumptuous riverside lunch.
Owner Jerry Anselmo's years of experience in fine dining come into play to create an exquisite blend of Italian cuisine which is innovatively tweaked to reflect the robust Louisiana flavors. Jerry's visits around the world have also honed his skills in angling and fly fishing, to provide you with an unforgettable experience when you visit the Campsite. You can even rent a kayak or a tubing to embark on a one day adventure into the wilds. The fishing outfitters also provide you with a bar tubing which you can stock up before you leave. The rugged terrain is known to abound in a variety of wildlife and you can never tell just what you might spot on your foray into the forestland.
The Outfitters also allow you to rent thick cozy sleeping bags and sturdy tents onsite. After a long day of exploring the rocky environs, you can relax with a hot shower at the Lodge Room. You can even carry a basket along to the picnic area which also has well maintained restrooms.
If you happen to be in Franklin and have yet to experience the wild in all its glory, then the Great Smoky Mountain Campsite is a must visit for you. For further information, you can refer to the website http://www.fishcamp.biz or call 828-369-5295.
