Hampton, Tennessee is a Carter County mountain town anchored by the Watauga Lake Dam spillway, Pond Mountain Wilderness, and a long stretch of the Appalachian Trail. Our customers here are Hampton High School families, the Cherokee National Forest ranger station crew at the U.S. 321 office, AT thru-hikers and section-hikers staging out of Boots Off Hostel and Black Bear Resort, Watauga Lake spillway anglers chasing trout below the dam, and Carter County families who'd rather hike Laurel Fork Falls than meal-prep on Sunday afternoon. Driver LB runs the Carter County route Sunday and Monday — Hampton core, the lake spillway loop, Highway 321 west toward Elizabethton, and east toward Roan Mountain. Sunday pickup is also available at CrossFit Ridge Runner (1742 W Elk Ave, Elizabethton) for Hampton customers heading into town.
Hampton is the AT trailhead before Pond Mountain Wilderness and the spillway gateway to Watauga Lake — the meals are macro-labeled for the climb up to Laurel Fork Falls and the climb back down to a clean fridge.
Hampton is not a generic Carter County zip code — it's the actual trail town where the AT comes off Pond Mountain Wilderness, where Watauga Lake spills out of Wilbur Dam, and where Laurel Fork Falls is a 30-minute drive from your living room. SmashMeals built the Carter County route around exactly this kind of place. Driver LB runs Hampton on Sunday and Monday — Hampton High School area, the spillway loop, Highway 321 between Elizabethton and Roan Mountain, and the cabins along Wilbur Dam Road and Watauga Point. AT thru-hikers staging out of Boots Off Hostel or Black Bear Resort use the high-protein entrées as resupply meals before climbing back into Pond Mountain Wilderness. Hampton Bulldogs football and softball families use them for in-season fueling. Watauga Lake spillway anglers pack them in coolers. And the Carter County celiac households — who used to drive to Johnson City for safe food — finally have a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen running a route to their door. Order by Thursday 11:59 PM. Subscription is optional.
