Best Campground in the area

We loved our time here. Very clean with paved sites, pool, basketball and lake. Great place to spend a whole week. We will be back!

The best

Three visits, and this is a destination for our family. There is so much to do with the water activities and on site, that you could get away without a car.

We had site 157 this time, and close to all of the amenities. We rented a golf cart ($50 a day) and pontoon boat (about $250 for 4 hours plus gas….40 for us). They have a little food truck if you want. All sites paved and many have hand made fire places. Looking south towards sevierville over the lake into the mountains. Amazing!

Not worth the manic owners

One of their workers nearly jumped on the hood of my car, thinking I was trying to sneak in because he couldn't see my tag. We had a large group, and every time we gathered at 1 campsite they stopped on a golf cart to make sure we weren't sneaking in more people. We could enjoy ourselves.

Not all it hyped up

If you like those under 16 drive around on golf carts and scooters!! This is the place!! Underage drivers driving crazy... not caring about who or what was in their way. Loud & rowdy! We didn't even finish out our last 5 days. Couldn't handle it!!! And super tight for our 45 ft bus. Never again!! To far from sightseeing also.

Great campground!!!

This is an exceptional campground with great flat, concrete pads, fireplaces, super clean, bathrooms/showers, and plenty of room for your dog to have an equally good time. Highly recommend it!

Truly one the best camping resorts around. Very family friendly with lots of great amenities. Bathhouses are awesome. Hard to get into but worth the wait.

This place lives up to the hype and deserves to be called a resort! Very clean and well-manicured sites. Beautiful views. Be aware that you will probably need to plan your visit well in advance; they stay booked!

Magical

Beautiful property with fantastic views of Lake Douglas. Cleanest RV park we have ever visited and the staff was top notch.

Sites are level with easy to reach hookups. We splurged on a premium site, but all the sites have a great view.

We highly recommend this RV resort and we look forward to returning in 2022.

Beautiful view

We stayed here back in March of 2021 on their first day of opening for the season. The lake was low which we understand due to coming out of winter. The staff was super friendly. Had an issue with a leaking drain in my RV and I didn’t have any tools with me. The staff quickly helped me out and I really appreciated that. Place is quiet and enjoyable.

One of the best you will find in Tennessee.

This campground is one of the best you will find in Tennessee.  It has plenty for everyone to do, plus fishing in the lake, wonderful Smoky Mountain views, close to Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge and Dollywood all within a 30 minute drive.  You can attend a Tennessee Smokies baseball game or a BassPro that are just 10 minutes away.  Worst part about this campground is it is so popular that it is almost impossible to get a reservation.

Thanksgiving Weekend

It is so hard to get a reservation here, so we decided to take what we could get so we could try it out! Staff is very nice, park is clean and I’m sure in the summer it is bustling! Lots of cool summer activities and some amazing scenery and views of the lake. A tip to get reservations! Call and put your name on a waiting list for the dates you need. If they have cancellations, they call the people on the list instead of releasing the dates on the website!

Best start to a road trip

Our first stop traveling cross country and it will be hard to beat! I know it’s called an RV resort but I didn’t think it would actually feel like a resort but it did. So beautiful and the dog exercise area was amazing. Should spend a few nights at least here.

Beautiful and clean!!

Stayed in mid September 2019. Beautiful views of the lake from almost everywhere in the park. Sites are meticulously maintained by staff and the staff was more than helpful. Pool was clean with two great water slides that many of us adults enjoyed it on many nights. Some sites were larger than others and some would be best for smaller trailers or class c/van campers. Bathrooms were each large individual rooms with a toilet/sink/shower each tiled beautifully and always clean. Rented a pet friendly pontoon boat and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Local marinas also offer rentals as well. Not a bad drive to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg and we had Uber/Lyft drivers both share some great local info for next time. We loved this place so much we cancelled a trip to Disney to return here in fall 2020 (this time with one of the fancy fireplace sites). Suggestion- book FAR in advance...this place fills up quickly.
