Nestled just 0.4 miles from the Appalachian Trail's Dennis Cove Trailhead, the Black Bear Resort General Store is your go-to stop for all things trail and comfort. Whether you're a thru-hiker needing a quick resupply, a section hiker restocking for the next leg, or a visitor soaking in the mountain vibes, we've got you covered. Our shelves are stocked with hiker essentials: trail-ready snacks like energy bars, jerky, and nuts; instant meals to fuel your adventure; and camp stove fuel to keep you cooking. And because we know hikers dream of pizza after miles on the trail, we've got frozen pizzas for sale—grab one and cook it up for a hot, cheesy reward! Need a cold soda, electrolyte drink, or a well-earned beer to go with it? We've got those too, chilled and ready.
Beyond the basics, we offer toiletries, first-aid supplies, and a few handy gear items—think batteries, duct tape, and bug spray—to keep you prepared for whatever the trail throws your way. Our store isn't just about supplies; it's a place to unwind. Grab a snack and linger on the porch, swap stories with fellow hikers, or just listen to the creek while you recharge. We also accept mail drops, so you can pick up your packages without missing a beat.
Towel packets ($5) an Laundry pods ($5) are available after long day of walking, and for those wanting to cozy up to a fire of their own we offer Firewood Bundles ($10)!
Open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, the General Store at Black Bear Resort is here to make your Hampton, TN stop as easy and enjoyable as the trail is rugged. Pop in—Travis, Linda, and the Black Bear crew can't wait to welcome you!
