Little Arrow Outdoor Resort

We came with friends for Fall Break and shared a buddy site, it was wonderful! Fun activities (we did BINGO & Trivia), hiking, a very nice pool & hot tub with splash pad and walk-in pool entry. The shower houses & restrooms were immaculate! So clean! We were sad to see they were already booked for next fall break - if you’re considering, book well in advance!

I like the location of this resort near Cades Cove after October tourist season. Rates and crowds drop, otherwise avoid. I like in December and see lights of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Nice brewery nearby.

This place is awesome! It’s not just an RV resort, they have so much more! Glamping, cabins, airstreams…something for everyone!

There are so many options for activities here to keep the whole family happy.

The bathrooms are really nice. Every thing about this place is nice. Sites are level. The river is perfect to explore, watch or relax by.

Bathhouses are amazing. Pool area is beautiful. Playground is super fun. Sites are level and a good size.

We’ve been through this area several times and nothing compares to this camping resort. The amenities that this campground provides are top-notch: from their beautiful pool complex, restrooms and showers, laundromat, pavilion, coffee station, facility staff, this place is fantastic. I so appreciate the intelligent little touches like having a QR code and being able to accept Venmo for firewood purchases after hours, such simple touches make your stay a breeze. We had a creekside campground, with firepit, covered picnic table and full hookups. With our small travel trailer, sometimes it’s nice to be surrounded by larger campers because it means you have the whole bathroom to yourself. This place is so well maintained and, although loaded with amenities, still offers peace, quiet and lovely natural surroundings.

Little Arrow Outdoor Resort is an upscale campground located just minutes from Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The campground has several different types of accommodations. We stayed in a large, pull-through buddy site, a space that accommodates two RVs. Buddy sites are paved and have hookups for both RVs. We loved the covered cabana with outdoor string lights, a cooking area with a sink, and a large table and chairs because it was the perfect place to hang out with our friends who shared the site with us. Our dogs' favorite part of the campground was our site's turf grass patch. Everything, from the facilities, decor, and signage to the pavilion, nature trail, and gift shop, has personalized touches, which add to the experience. 

I enjoyed Townsend and the campground so much that I won't ever stay close to the Gatlinburg side of the national park again.

Slept with the windows open to the sound of the river. Awesome

Little Arrow is very clean and well run. Playground for the kids is well maintained. Hands down the nicest bathhouse Ive seen anywhwere. The pool area is awesome. Close to Cades Cove and right at the entrance to Smokey Mountains National Park. Just cant say enough good things about it.

We had a blast at this campground. The river or creek that wraps around the campground was so fun. Make sure to bring tubes but you can buy some if you forget. The pool was the nicest pool I have ever been to at a campground. We stayed in one of the premium pull through sites which worked as a buddy site. Two families and campers fit very comfortably on the pad and it had its own outdoor kitchen. 

A couple of things to point out. The WIfi is not great and there is zero cell service. This was fine for us but I do think you should know before going. It would be really challenging to work remotely. 

Also, there are bears. We saw 5 and one came through our campsite during dinner. They were very friendly and honestly just acted like giant racoons but you should be aware that you shouldn't leave food or garbage out.

We loved this campground! Very nice and spacious sites. The campground was developed along the Little River and is absolutely gorgeous! The bathhouses are the nicest I have ever seen. The sites were level and had full hook-ups. They are renovating the pool and it looks like it will be amazing. It was easy to get to anything Smoky Mountain related including Cades Cove. If camping isn't your thing, they also have vacation homes, glamping tents, tiny houses, and airstreams to rent. We rode our bikes at Cades Cove which is closed to cars on Wednesdays, hiked the Spruce Flat Falls Trail and Rainbow Falls Trail. It was a great camping experience!

Great place. Beautiful views on the river. Very clean. Large sites with really nice patios. Only problem is no and I mean zero Verizon cell coverage. Internet it’s OK to stream movies but I had to go to their coffee house for reliable WiFi when I was working. 

river around campground is amazing. Nice pool very clean bath houses. Only surprise was unlovely site, our neighbor had to loan blocks to set camper

Very clean, very spacious and very friendly staff

Great little campground in Townsend TN. Owners seem to be great folks also. It's close enough to Cade's cove, and has showers, which is a requirement my wife has.

Stayed in a tiny home with my family for Spring Break. Can’t wait to go back.

Little arrow outdoor resort was an awesome Campground. we really enjoyed our time there, the staff was great very friendly. There was a lot to do there for everyone in the family.

This place is amazing! Great place for kids, so much to do

We love this place! It’s right outside one of the entrances to the Great Smoky Mountains and about 20 minutes from Cades Cove. The town of Townsend is super cute with lots of shops, a winery, coffee shops, restaurants and shopping. We also enjoy the river rafting nearby. The actual campground is extremely clean, bathrooms are jaw dropping beautiful! They always have activities for kids and adults. Food trucks and coffee trucks are usually there. We always enjoy our stay here. It’s not secluded, it’s busy! But space between sites is pretty decent for a busy campground.

Expensive but worth it. The owners are going all out with this campground. Tiny homes, glamping tents, and cabins for rent. Then there are on river and off river RV sites. The on river rv sites have a gazebo over the picnic table. Great facilities that are only being made better.

It is right before the entrance to the Smoky Mountain National Park. Townsend is called the peaceful side of the Smoky Mountains.
