Check the nearby hotels and motels, when the time get near some would cancel their reservations or sell there's.
Some would open a thread looking for someone to share the room with. No worries plenty of options.

I got a place about 15mins from Fontana. Been staying there for the last 3 years of Zday.

I had to book here back in Oct HISTORIC TAPOCO LODGE | 828.498.2800 – Tapoco Lodge Resort on the Cheoah River located in the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, near Robbinsville, North Carolina on US129 just 2 miles south of the famous Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap as Fontana was already booked solid. Got a nice cabin. If you want to see some nice back roads. Do the Poker Run or the TSD Rally. Worst Exhaust is right up FPenis alley.

Thats where I stayed last year, it's a really nice place. IMO when I stayed at Fontana for another event it felt like I was at a run down motel.

If you want to do the dragon do it at the break of dawn if you wait till later you'll just be doing 15mph behind the guy on the trike. During the day there are plenty of other amazing roads a little drive away that are pretty much deserted.

The top of the dam is a great place for pics at sunset.

or when we did a run in the day we had 2 cops in front of us and one behind us. also we passed 2 positioned on the dragon running traps.

honestly each year just gets worse and worse with cops and then you have a bunch of people running in the early am so that's becoming a crowded time.

why cant cops just block off the ends of the dragon and run at your own risk speed runs lol almost like a mini race event. damn public roads.

It would be much safer, the amount of people crossing the double yellow is shocking. But then it would be a pay for drive because the cops couldn't make any money then.

I always get a kick out of the bikers saying cars are the problem with the center line but they put their tires on it then lean well over the line with their body.

Best time to do the Dragon is during the week. Weekends suck. Cops out in force. Do the side roads. Some are great. We did the time trial last year. Found nice roads with hairy switchbacks. We're getting there Wed, and leaving Monday. So we got time to do the dragon with no cops.

surprisingly on the new poker run route there were some awesome roads. however I think we got lost and we were back deep in the sticks and found some cool twisties.

Fontana opens reservations for guests attending ZDayZ immediately following the event for the following year. On June 1, they open reservations to the general public, and I'm pretty sure they are fully booked in a matter weeks

All the rooms and cabins get book the day after ZDayZ or very shortly after. People who manage to get a room or cabin have first dibs on reserving them for next year for I think 2 weeks after the dates stayed. On Sunday check out the ladies at reception ask if you want to reserve for next year. Every one says yes.

That's how I got my cabin. My buddy who snagged a cabin last year gave me the reservation. Went with him to check out on Sunday and he passed the reservation to me.

BTW, sorry guys my cabin is full and I have a line of people who have dibs on any open spots that might open up.
