You will love to hike and camp in western North Carolina’s mountains, and Appletree Group Campground is the perfect getaway. Named after the apple trees that used to cover the site, Appletree Campground is near Franklin, North Carolina just north of Nantahala Lake (Lake Aquone). The drive is about 3.5 hours long. We will be in campsites A,B, and C. Below are links to maps and directions:
