Secluded Campground

We stayed at Green Mountain for three nights. We picked a site without really knowing the layout of the park. Our site was #4 and it was easy to park. We had a deck at our site which was a but problematic due to our steps folding out, it took some finagling and leveling to get it to where we could close our door. The whole camper ground is nicely taken care of with some site far up on some hills, so if you stay, ask about where the site is and how easy it is to get into, some looked wild! The restrooms are very primitive, remind me of old church camp bathrooms I used to go to haha. There are some hiking trails that are accessible from the park. You can pick up a map from the front office. It is mountainous so be aware the trails are quite steep and strenuous but not super long. We did hike up to an overlook area and the fall colors were amazing. There is a gate entry card that costs $15 outside of the Thousand Trails network but when you check out they return the $15 if you return the card. Overall, this was a decent Campground.

Lots of Amenities

We arrived super late, but our checkin info was ready for us along with a map to our site. The campground had a ton of amenities, so good if you have kids. There was a pool/hot tub/lazy river, playground, trampoline, corn hole, and more. Bathrooms were clean, we didn’t shower there. There was even a dog wash! The spots were a little tight and our sewer connection was a foot up off the ground so drainage at site 122 was a bit of an issue. Foliage was very pretty and at its peak the first week of November! Close to gatlinburg and pigeon forge

Clean Campground

We camped at Patoka in the fall. The rv campsite is very busy and books up for weekends quickly. We had 30a hookups. There was a water filling station at the entrance along with a dump site. Sites have a fire pit and picnic table. While there are trails in the area, they don’t offer a trail map. It might be handy to check them out on an app like AllTrails before hand and save them. Cell service is not good for AT&T or Verizon.

Beautiful Campsite

Beautiful campsite within a state park. There are trails, caves, and a “village” to be explored. The campsite has water and electric hookups (30a) and primitive sites as well. Sites can range from secluded in the woods to out in the open with full sun. Watch out for walnuts trees in the fall! Within the campsite are flush toilets and showers. Leashed pets are welcome! And on the way out is a dump station
