Camping-YOU MUST ADVISE US IF YOU ARE CAMPING OVERNIGHT!
RV/campers and camping tents are $25 per night. This includes toy haulers, pop-ups, any other type of RV and camping tent. If you plan to stay inside your vending tent and not use any type of camping tent, there may not be a fee but it is subject to the discretion of the city. The Town of Maggie Valley charges this fee, not us. We collect the fees for them and pay them directly. There are no showers, power, water or sewer hookups. Smoky View Cottages and Campground next door has a bathhouse. Contact them regarding showers. Only vendors are allowed to stay overnight, not the public.
Quiet Hour Strictly Enforced after 9 pm on Thursday and midnight on Friday & Saturday. This means NO music, NO unloading & NO setting up. NO campfires.

Your Display, Tents, Banners & Signs
We expect a professional setup. All tents must be sturdy, framed tents. No extended tarps. All tents must be staked down properly & must be prepared to withstand strong winds.
Setup Layout
Vendor spaces are close together. Please allow your space size to include room for serving windows, trailer tongue, trailer doors & customer access as needed.
If you have a trailer included inside of your vending space, it is highly recommended to arrive by 11 am on Thursday so trailers can be positioned & unhooked. Your trailer must fit inside your area including the trailer tongue and access to your trailer doors.
Clean Up
You must pick up your zip ties. Vendors must carry their own trash to the dumpster and must recycle cardboard, cans & plastic bottles. Do not put trash in the cans in front of your tent for our people to carry to the dumpster. If you do, your cleaning deposit will not be returned. If your space is clean, the grass undamaged, trash picked up and recycled in the dumpsters, your deposit will be refunded on Sunday after 4 pm. Any deposits not picked up on Monday by 4 pm will be forfeited.
