We had a great stay. The campground is on a river and right near the horse facility which seems to run tours on the half hour. The sites were level and clean and pretty far apart. Thanks to Brian for helping us with our generator!We enjoyed our stay

Campground and restrooms are well maintained. Peaceful, yet close to towns such as Cherokee and Gatlinburg.

I stay here each year in late May or early June. It's a great spot to fish many of the local trout streams and it's close enough to town so you can run in for additional provisions or a hot meal as needed. The bathrooms were recently updated with new toilets and exhaust fans. The staff at the campground has always been very friendly. It would be great if the Park Service would install showers like they have at the Davidson River campground in Brevard.

Nice campground and the smokies are amazing, but there were a few things that were unpleasant:
1. The sites are very close together
2. The bathrooms have NO HANDSOAP
3. For $30/night, a shower would be nice

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay during the Memorial Day Weekend, I just wished the weather was less wet.
The staff was very helpful, the firewood sales was priced well, and did I mention the peace and quiet?

We were able to pick a spot where we weren't terribly close to other campers, and we felt like we had a place of our own. We were able to camp when the fireflies were out, and they looked amazing. The camp host was nice as well! We would definitely camp here again!
