Honeysuckle Meadows

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

The mix of long-term residents and short-term campers creates a distinctive atmosphere at this Wears Valley campground, where spacious gravel sites spread across rolling terrain between the foothills. Honeysuckle Meadows operates year-round on 40 acres, with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections at each site.

Lower sites face the Smoky Mountains with open views, while upper sites nestle into wooded areas with more shade coverage. Caleb C. notes that "sites at top of hill are shaded with little to no view" while "sites at bottom of campground are full sun but have great views of the Smokey Mountains." Each site includes a metal fire pit, picnic table, and individual dump connections. Some newer sites feature wooden decks with solar LED lighting.

The property includes a swimming pool with adjacent snack bar, plus a stocked fishing pond with dock access. WiFi reaches throughout the campground, though streaming speeds vary. Cell coverage typically runs around two bars. Road noise from Wears Valley Road and Happy Hollow Road affects sites closest to these thoroughfares, with traffic continuing until around 1 AM and resuming by 7:30 AM.

Access roads show wear with occasional potholes, and the entrance passes stored RVs that may not reflect the campground's active areas. The facility lacks traditional bathhouses and laundry facilities, operating more as an RV park than a tent-focused campground. Faith J. found it offered "large spacious gravel lots with picnic tables and fire rings" during her week-long stay.

The location provides convenient access to multiple Smoky Mountain entrances - Metcalf Bottom sits 10 minutes away, Townsend 15 minutes, and Cades Cove 30 minutes. Reserve specific sites in advance, as site assignments can change upon arrival.

Best kept secret in the Smokies

I stumbled across this RV park while driving around on my first day of vacation. It is nestled in Wears Valley, perfectly between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and yet away from the touristy feel. The RV spots are really spaced out nicely! The views are amazing and the staff are so helpful and friendly. I can’t wait to go back in November. Best week of vacation ever!

National Park Appeal

We loved the proximity to the entrances to the Great Smoky Mountains and to amazing hikes. Overall this campground is primarily full-time residents and storage for RVs. They do have clean laundry facility but no bath houses. Out site was a pull in site which made things a little tricky and the site was not level at all. Takes about 35 mins to get to Gatlinburg.

Quiet park in Wears Valley

Price was great, had everything we needed. View from road is a bunch of older stored RVs so it doesn't look great coming in but once your in some lots have great views of the Smokeys while others are in the woods with a forest view. We would stay again. Hist was very nice. Wifi was free but very slow.

Nice and quiet

Stayed here for a week and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It is close to Townsend and Gailinburg as well as Pigeon Forge. Took a lot of day hikes. Have full hookups and large spacious gravel lots with picnic tables and fire rings. Some shade. The only down side is the pool is not in the camping area. It’s one road over. The weather was cool so we did not have an opportunity to visit there. Staff at the front office were very nice.

Great Low Key Campground

Honeysuckle Meadows is a small low key campground in Wears Valley between Pigeon Forge and Townsend. The sites a spaced out so you have privacy. We really enjoyed that it was not crowded and busy. The sites have full hookups and WiFi was excellent. There is a pool and pond. It does not have a bathhouse, laundry, or playground. I would not recommend for kids unless they don’t need the bells and whistles to be entertained.

Clean, quiet, easy access to Smoky National Park

If you’re looking for quiet, at least during the winter months, this is a beautiful resort with plenty of space between neighbors and it seems that all sites have solid views. There are some permanent residents living there and they are all nice with well kept and cool homes. Each site has its own dump which was great. Water was clean with great pressure. Electric was solid. Aerial photos courtesy of SweetDroneChicago on Instagram.

Quiet Campground

Quiet campground away from all the chaos of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Stayed 2 nights and most everyone here when I stayed (August 2020) are full-time residents. Very friendly staff. Beautiful grounds and pool area with snack bar. Pond for fishing. Sites at top of hill are shaded with little to no view. Sites at bottom of campground are full sun but have great views of the Smokey Mountains! Great price for how close everything is. 15 minute drive to the strip. Loved our stay! Only improvements would be bathhouse and roads are starting to see their age with big potholes.

Nice but noisy.

The location is convenient to local attractions in Pigeon Forge (8ish miles) and Gatlinburg as well as Smokey Mountain National Park. We stayed at site 56. All the hookups worked as they should, 2 bars cell coverage, cable worked well and wifi allowed streaming at a slow data rate ( I don't think gaming or 4k movies would work).

The only negative is the traffic noise. The road in front of the campground Wears Valley Road is heavy with local traffic and the road that runs beside the campground Happy Hollow Road is also used as a alternate route to other area attractions. The noise is mostly from vehicles with extremely loud exhaust (evidently mufflers are frowned upon on vehicles, be it cars or trucks or motorcycles, in this area). It continued until 1 in the morning and then started again around 730am.

There are no amenities such as a bath house or laundry and the office was closed because of Covid so we never saw campground office staff during our week here. Pool and snack bar were open though.

Spacious Lots & Stunning Horizons

Honeysuckle Meadows is a real treat compared to some of the other rv parks surrounding Pigeon Forge. The lots are wide and all of the hookups are well maintained. Beyond the rv site depending on your location you’re greeted with wonderful views of the Great Smokies. Plenty of room to walk the dog, bike, or even swim at the nearby pool that is free for campers.

Love the views!

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, is because there are no bath houses. Love the spacious sights, FHU, 50 amps, and the view is outstanding. I love the location, close to everything, but far enough from all the hustle and bustle.

An affordable RV park/campground near the Smokies

The Pros: 

  • Location: This campground is located in a perfect spot, in my opinion. 10 minutes from the Metcalf Bottom entrance to Smoky Mtn NP. 15 minutes to the Townsend entrance. 30 minutes to Cades Cove. 15 minutes to Pigeon Forge. And 30 minutes to Gatlinburg. Close, but away from the madness. For a few shops and restaurants you have Wears Valley right next door (I recommend Mountain Chick for a light breakfast - awesome biscuits and coffee).
  • Amenities: full hook-ups and a VERY nice pool/deli (see picture). The pool has karaoke on Friday nights. There is also a stocked fishing pond with dock though we didn't use it. 
  • The view: Okay, not all campsites have great views. But the lower sites do, and that's where we were. Awesome backdrop of the mountains while you sit by your campfire. 
  • The price: All the other campgrounds this close to the park charge $50+. Honeysuckle charges $35 a night.
  • The sites: Sites are typically long, wide, gravel, mostly level, and with plenty of space in between. Our site even had a brand new deck with solar LED lights! Every site has a metal fire pit and a plastic-topped picnic table. 

The Cons: 

  •  This is a mix of long-term RV park and campground. The lower sites are mostly campers while the upper sites are a mix of campers and long-term lots. This isn't necessarily bad. Most of the long-term units are nice looking, but it does impact the camping feel a bit. And along the lead-in from the road to the sites there are a lot of campers in storage. Some of these don't look so nice. 

  • Dumpster: This is bear country so you can't leave your trash outside in cans. The only dumpster is all the way down the road to the office, and it is frequently full.

  • Reservations: The process of making reservations was easy enough. I was assigned a site in the confirmation email I received. But when we arrived I was given a different site. When I asked about it, they didn't have record of the first site I was given. When I drove by that site, there was an RV in it that looked like it was being stored there. We went to site 50, the one they gave us, and it was okay. The one just down the hill, Site 49, was a little shorter but it had a deck. We called the office and asked to switch. They agreed. It worked out, but it was a little frustrating. 

  • Amenities: Because it is more RV park than a campground, there wasn't a bathroom or laundry facility. 

Overall, we were quite happy with the experience. We would stay here again and recommend it to others.
