Grrrreat spot!

We got in late but set up quick with no problem! The lady on the phone was super friendly and informative. Camping area was easy to detect. Also, it was super safe feeling! I’m big on that and I slept a full 8 hrs. It’s got all the amenities you’d need. I’d totally camp here again!

Family friendly good time

Cozy place to stay, Staff was friendly and the bath house looked to be newly renovated and very clean. Quiet time was strictly enforced. I met my sisters family who had a small pop up and we brought our tent and we’re able to share a spot to make a fun affordable vacation. Kiddos loved the pool and basketball court. Close to the heart of Gatlinburg and near loads of hiking trails with river access.

Beautiful!

Clean, beautiful camp ground with pool & hot tub. Quiet. It was a bit of a squeeze with our 42’ RV.

Nice park, nice staff

We chose this resort for the full hookups and access to a cabin for our non-camping friends who traveled with us. They liked the cabin as well. This campground stays open a bit longer into November than other campgrounds which tend to close Nov 1st. Our site was smaller and not as level but it was fine for our small trailer.

Amazing

This campground exceeded my expectations! There is a very small area for tents (4-5 spots) but they are on the edge of the campground far enough from the RVs to get some peace and quiet. The bathrooms and showers are clean and spacious. Pool and jacuzzi are well maintained. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. It rained the whole time I was there and they were very accommodating, offering the club room as a refuge should the rain get too hard in the night. This campground is very quiet and peaceful and in close proximity to Gatlinburg, great smoky mountains national park, and Dollywood. They sell wood. Just a very clean and well maintained site! Highly recommend!
