Maybe I missed the initial topic, but did anyone else notice that TWO closed their doors? Opinions vary, but for me this is sad news.

Crap. This leaves me with only one campground/resort I really like up there close to the Gap. Stayed last summer at the Iron Horse Motorcycle Resort just off U.S. 129 on the North Carolina side. They have cabins, rooms, and camping web site is Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge near Deals Gap and Cherohala Skyway. It is a great place.

T.W.O. .........yes it's been in the news (on other forums) for about a month or so now. I believe the owners of the land (not TWO) are not re-newing their lease, or something like that?? To bad.........lots of memories for lots of riders up there. I believe they were auctioning off some of the lodge's memorabilia.
This is not the first motorcycle campground to go belly-up in the last 12 months........29Dreams near Birmingham (i.e. near Barbers Track) went under last year. And another one, maybe Cherohala Resort....or Tellico Resort......somewhere up there, has also put it for sale. It's the campground with the nice, small lodge (really, just a covered meeting/eating place) with lots of small cabins and ZERO trees on the property......situated in a large open field.

I've stayed at Witherspoons Hog Heaven in Tellico Plains:
Motorcycle Campground
Nice folks, cabins with showers, kickass bbq! I'd stay here again pretty easily.

Might find something here:
Two Wheels Only Motorcycle Resort and Campground

They lost the lease but still have a lot of useful links.
