We reserved site A2 for our 5th wheel, having given the dimensions during the reservation process. We drove q0 hrs to get there only to find, after spending 45 minutes trying a variety of ways to get the ca,per into the space, that it was impossible. We left and stayed at a KOA.

Hard to figure out if the campground was accesible with closed area in the Smoky mountains, but really nice campsites between the trees and lots of people making fires at their sites.

Beautiful location and bathrooms were kept clean, neighbors weren’t too close or too noisy. Park staff were friendly and helpful. It is ridiculous that registered campers also have to pay the $5 per day parking fee anywhere outside the campground.

The sites by the river will get to fall asleep to the sound of some rapids. Had a beautiful elk encounter while cooking breakfast and chose to distance myself. Pretty site!
