As usual, Fontana is sold out, but I also checked Tapoco and Microtel and it's booked. As the event gets closer you can usually get lodging at Fontana from folks who cannot attend.
This year we're going to take the RV. The Fontana camp ground is booked so I have a reservation at Stecoah Valley RV Resort, 415 Hyde Town Rd, Robbinsville, NC 28771 (14 miles from Fontana). Good news it's only $200 for the week.
If anyone hears of an RV spot at Fontana opening, please let me know. Thanks!
