We had a river spot and it was gorgeous. I will say that the lots are close to one another and it is not very private but it was pretty hot and we didn't hang outside by the camper much. Most of the time we were at the playground or beach. The river water is ice cold! A shock to the system after 100 degree days haha. Once you just plunge in it is wonderful. The campground is about 20 minutes from Gatlinburg which is a plus to me. Much more quiet and less populated of an area. The landscaping at this campground is gorgeous, they work hard on it for sure. There are big boulders that line the camps roads which were a little obnoxious maneuvering around when backing in but nothing that terrible.
