This is a beautiful campground very easy access to gatlinburg and pigeon forge. We stayed over spring break and we had a great time. The river is breath taking with lots of wild life to see. Very quiet at night and very clean we had great experiences with Tanner and Derek, and they were extremely hospitable to say the least. We’re from Detroit area so not familiar with area at all and the guidance from all the knowledgeable staff was extremely helpful and very appreciated. All of the staff is very kind and helpful and do great work beautifying the park. I’d recommend this park to anyone going to see the city and all its activities it’s a very easy drive downtown and out of the busy go go go when you want to spend time with your family or partner they have a beautiful path along the river that we seen a beautiful Eagle flying along while we strolled through. Our kids had the best experience they have a beautiful park and bounce house put up daily. They have new basketball court and very clean bathrooms and showers. I can’t recommend these guys enough, best road trip we’ve had and will absolutely be going back

What a beautiful hidden gem! Just a short 15 minute ride to Dollywood, it's the perfect spot to enjoy nature and the peaceful river after a long day of riding rides and walking the park. We camped on the river in our family's rv but will definitely be returning to enjoy a rental rv for Labor Day! The area is quiet and peaceful. The facilities are very well thought out. Excellent bath house - clean, well-stocked, and temp controlled. The common areas are full of fun things to do - cornhole, bounce house, playground, and more. The sites are well spaced so as not to feel crowded by neighbors. I can't think of anything that would have made this a better stay! The river access is so nice and easy to get to. Great area for tubing, kayaking, fishing, or swimming. We cannot wait to visit again! Thanks Tanner for taking such pride in the property!

What a lovely campground! We stayed a week. We weren't able to get a spot right on the river but was just across the road and very close to the river access. It is very kid and dog friendly. We didn't have any kids but had our 2 large dogs. They were able to go in the river which our retriever absolutely loved. There's not much shade but there will be in a few years when all the young trees grow. Everything about this campground was clean and well maintained. They will even come by every day and pick up your trash. Tie it up and leave it at the end of your site. I didn't use the showers but my husband did and said they were clean with a lot of hot water. The campground is close to everything but just far enough to be peaceful. I can't say enough good things. We will definitely be returning when we come to this area again.

First time camping here. Loved the site's next to the creek. Brandi enjoyed her time at the pet area. Campground was well maintained and staff was friendly. Bathhouse was clean and like they have laundry facilities. Will be back again. Love the slower pace and quiet. Still able to enjoy Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg only short drive.

This was the best campground ever. Directly on the river, quiet, and so well kept. The check in was smooth and the fella at the check in booth was just fantastic. We had such a great time we stayed an extra night. It is definitely on our return list. Very close to everything, yet tucked away if you just want to camp. Thanks for a great vacation, Uncle Jim!
