Rolling Into 2026: Winter Closure, Reopening Date, and Big Deals for Riders of NCWMA OHV Trails

As 2025 winds down, Stinking Creek Campground is preparing for our annual winter closure. We’ll officially shut down for the season on December 15, 2025, and reopen on February 27, 2026, just in time for prime riding on East Tennessee’s OHV trails. This short break allows us to winterize the campground and gear up for an incredible 2026 season of ATV, SxS, and off-highway adventure.

*We are still available by phone to help with reservations and answer any questions you may have.
