Fontana Village General Store — Local services in Fontana Dam

The folks at the Fontana General Store are great. I've been here just two weeks and have been in here pretty much every day that they have been open.

They have a good selection of foods and sundry selection of other goods that might come in handing while hiking and camping. You can definitely do a legitimate resupply here.

The prices are pretty average for a store in a location such as this one. No real ripoffs and no real bargains.

They do have one of the only microwaves in the who village that people staying at the lodge can get access to.

The overall lack of microwaves definitely was an issue for me and I'm sure I'll talk about it when I write my review for the overall village and lodge.

In the same building with the General Store is the laundromat and post office. There is also an ice cream place but it is closed for the foreseeable future.

Stop by and tell them...

This store is jam packed with cool souvenirs and really convenient supplies! They have everything from food to t-shirts. There are two sections, the left section contains all of the goods, and the one to the right contains the cash register, and a little lounge area with chairs. The store is very homey and welcoming, which definitely reflects the rest of Fontana Village. The left most wall is covered with loads of bear merchandise, which is super fun if you want a way to remember your trip. I definitely recommend this store if you need to grab something quick, or if you want to take home a piece of this...

June 2024 - On Sunday our group piled into 4 cars to do various things loosely centered around kayaking at the marina.

Then we headed our separate ways again - Wendy, Josh, Liv, Zack and I paddled out from the marina. Mom and Dad drove out to the Dam Museum. Heather and Kevin played mini golf around the resort. By the time we got back to Bryson - we settled down and went to our traditional supper...
