"We stayed at the main area but not much space or privacy so we put up a tent out side our door, but then moved to the tent camping site area the second night which was more secluded and private, but still"

"Easy access to the highway."
"The campground is in close proximity to many of the trailheads. There is a nice bathhouse, but all the sites are rustic (non electric)."
"It may be the loveliest campground in Tennessee.
There’s only 20 spots, and they all seem to be shady and have trees between neighbors."

"Locals do roll through on their ATVs/off roading vehicles, but no one ever fired any weapon systems while I was there."
GuideNice and laid back. Bath houses are clean and one is fairly new. Some sites are right next to the water which is great for kayaking and water adventures.
TravelerThis campground is very clean and well maintained. I am in my van and stayed in loop B. I don't normally get dites with electric but with my lifetime interagency pass, my site with electric cost $12. I have a constant 3 bars with Visible which is Verizon. They have signs up that warn bears are very active in the campground right now so I have not walked around much, but it is beautiful here.
GuideOwners are wonderful. The grounds are well maintained and kept there is a strict policy of no parking or driving on the grass and when you see it, you’ll understand. I thoroughly enjoyed walking, barefoot through it to the fields and appreciated highly the effort they put into keeping it so beautiful. You can enjoy a day lounging on the little river. They offer free lounge, chairs, canoes, and kayaks to use for campers. If you’d like to tube you can bring your own or swim across the river to River Rage and rent a tube which is what I did. You can have a fire at night either bring your own pit or they will supply you one free of charge and deliver it to your site. They sell bundles of firewood for five dollars, which is half the price of other places. There are no picnic tables; however, many bring their own foldable table. The sites are very spacious. My site was C3 on the creek which was dry but still wonderful. They offer Riverside sites as well. I highly recommend this campground.
TravelerWe booked the camp because it had trolley access and was relatively convenient to the parkway and restraunts. We were very happy with the amenities for the price and time of year. Pool area was nice though not used by us. Bathrooms are very nice and clean. Clean roomy lockable showers. Laundry room was clean with all working washers and dryers 2.75 load and takes a card. Some sites including ours are very shady. We'll kept and level.
Trolley stop is great. Use it to go to transit hub and pick up the trolley to gatlinburg. We travel without a car in tow. So we move a 30' motorhome when we park so convenience is priority. Sugarlands is not to hard of a drive in the mornings to go for all day trail hikes in the park. Gatlinburg is just a few miles away. Great rv park. We enjoyed our stay and urban hikes I the morning for breakfast. We will return.
TravelerWe enjoyed our stay at this campground with our family. Lots of shaded camp sites. We camped on a river site and it was a very nice view and quiet. The pool was nice, and they have a laundry room, very clean bathrooms, a playground, and a camp store that was well stocked with everything you might need for camping. The staff is so friendly and answered our questions
ScoutThis place is amazing. Very clean. People are very courteous
ScoutMy dad and I visited in may and had a great time. Lots of bathrooms that were all clean. The grounds were very green and shaded, each site had a flat mulch spot for the tent, a firepit, and a picnic table. Very close to lots of different trails. Only problem is that there are a lot of sites and you’re pretty close to your neighbor (like your tent is 10 feet away and usually no brush between).
GuideSites are big and level. Power hook ups if you need them and plenty of shade. The 3.5 mile trail around the lake is a good little walk for the dogs. Highly recommend this campground.
TravelerWe stayed here recently for our first time and really enjoyed it. The water park is great for kids and it has a restaurant and an ice cream shop. It’s spacious and the people who work there are so friendly. We will be back again.
