Home Base

Fontana Village Resort

Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains at the edge of Fontana Lake. Our home for BRG since 2010 — where the Dragon meets the lake.

Fontana Village Resort sits on 300+ acres in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, right on the shores of Fontana Lake. It's the perfect base camp for BRG — the Tail of the Dragon is just a 20-minute drive, the Cherohala Skyway is under an hour, and the Blue Ridge Parkway is right up the mountain.

With cabins, lodge rooms, and camping options spread across the property, plus pools, a marina, restaurants, and endless outdoor activities, Fontana has everything you need for a week of cars, friends, and mountains.
