Big Frog 65, hotels in the area?

Looks like its pretty remote, only a B&B is currently showing up. I'd like to camp but I'm unsure if it's going to be possible at the moment.


Has anyone done this event or have any recommendations?

I've stayed at the Days Inn in Murphy, and more recently at the Comfort Inn in Georgia.   

There aren't really any chain Hotels much closer than those that I'm aware of.

Thanks guys, the packet pickup is a pain for me on Friday unless I stay at the B&B... Think that may be the best bet!

I did! Finished 30th in open for the Big Frog 65 with a time of 5:10... I was wishing for more single track though! Had a goal of 5:30, course was super fast.

If anyone wants to read more on the race: (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)
I keep a blog on my old NJ mtb forum, not sure if people are interested in that type of content here...

Sweet and congrats! I did the Cohutta 100 single speed and got 14th in 8:41. Thought I could do it in 8:00 and maybe top 10 but that was a bit optimistic. Lets ride together...

Nice! I saw a couple of those kits floating around after the race, I may have even seen you finish!

Where are you located?
