Epic sunrises dismal bathrooms
Every morning we woke up to the BEST sunrises over the lake. Such a beautiful way to start the day!
We also liked this place because when you turn off the main road in Sevierville, it immediately feels rural and wide open. Such a big contrast from the big touristy local cities.
We loved the hiking trail across the street. It’s about a mile and you feel completely in the forest.
The bathrooms leave something to be desired. The stall door hinge is so big that you can fit two fingers in the gap in the doors. The toilet seats are old, scratchy and slide around. They’re all in desperate need of an update.

Pretty but…
Pretty location but challenging to find a level site. Electric and water hook ups with a nearby dump station. The lower loop (45-65) looks a bit more level than the upper level (1-44).
Beautiful spot
Extra large spaces, but ours was not very level. Very quiet, dark, with friendly campers. Haven’t met host yet. Bathhouse adequate. Views of lake are beautiful with nice picnic and swimming area.
Stayed another night at site 33. Still not level, but worth it for the view!
