We just got back from our first ever RV trip and staying at Greenbrier Campground completely set the bar sky high.
We stayed in a creekside site in April and it honestly could not have been more perfect. Waking up to that view was such a highlight. We could see the creek right from our chairs inside the camper and we spent so much time sitting outside at the picnic table and in our outdoor chairs just watching it. It was beautiful and so peaceful.
From the start, everything was so easy. Check in was smooth and the staff even helped guide us in with directions, which made a huge difference as first timers. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind, especially Sue, who we absolutely loved.
The campground itself is incredibly well kept. The bathrooms and showers were very clean, and you could tell the grounds are constantly being maintained. Even small things stood out, like how clean everything felt and how well people picked up after their pets.
There is so much to do, especially for families. Our boys loved the two playgrounds, the big bounce house, the basketball court, game room, and all the little extras like toy trucks and games. The swimming hole was such a fun bonus and while we did not rent them, golf carts are available which makes getting around easy and fun. That said, it still did not feel chaotic or overrun. It struck a really nice balance.
We also appreciated the general store for grabbing a few things we forgot and having full hookups and reliable wifi at our site made everything feel comfortable and convenient.
One of the coolest perks was the trolley that comes right through the campground. It will take you into Gatlinburg and bring you back, which made exploring so easy without worrying about parking.
One of our favorite parts was the Sunday church service. It was such a special experience.
Honestly, we loved it so much we joked that we could live there. It is going to be hard for any future campground to compete because this experience was just that good, especially for our first trip.
The only small downside for us was that smoke from a nearby campsite fire was blowing right into our camper at times. Of course that’s just part of camping and not something the campground can really control.
If you are on the fence, book it. We will absolutely be back.
