Hazel Creek Camping Trips – Fall Dates Still Open… But Not For Long

There’s something about Hazel Creek that just pulls you in…
This isn’t just another fishing trip — this is stepping back in time. Once a thriving logging community deep in the Smokies, Hazel Creek still carries that history today with old remnants scattered throughout the backcountry. Every cast you make out here feels like you’re part of something bigger.

And the fishing? It’s the real deal.
Hazel Creek is widely known as one of the most legendary trout streams in the Great Smoky Mountains — and for good reason. Big wild rainbows, native brook trout up high, and some of the most sought-after brown trout in the entire park call this place home.
But if you know… you know…

Fall is when Hazel Creek truly shines.
This is when those big brown trout start showing up, feeding heavy, moving, and giving anglers a real shot at the kind of fish you don’t forget.
And the only way to really experience it the right way?
👉 A multi-day backcountry camping trip.
That’s where it all comes together — the solitude, the scenery, the history, and miles of water that most folks will never touch. It’s hands down one of the most complete fly fishing experiences the Smokies has to offer.
⚠️ Our Spring trip is already FULL.
🍂 We have TWO Fall Camp dates left with availability — and they WILL fill up.
September 18-20th
October 9th-11th
If Hazel Creek has ever been on your bucket list… this is your shot.
📅 Don’t wait around on this one.
