No problems, peaceful, out of the way of noise but close enough to everything. Pull in sites were super easy to get in and out of. Other campers were kind and courteous and were happy to have a conversation with strangers or join in with playing in or around the pool.

Owners were out and about the property most of the day doing general maintenance and chatting it up with anyone who wanted to. We had a good talk with Kenneth and really enjoyed our time there. Definitely will be going back. Had full hook up and private dump on our site as well.

If you are looking for a clean, quiet, fairly priced campground, this is it! Tucked in between two mountains, sits this little gem. Very well manicured property! The river is great for wading or sitting in a tube too. Not a whole lot for kids to do but ours kept themselves occupied. The staff was very friendly also.

Beautiful park with nice amenities. At the base of the Smokey mountains and close to the lovely city of Maryville Tenn. Staff is wonderful. A very clean, quiet and comfortable stay

Editing my review to say the owners are incredible people! Not only did they respond quickly, but they also addressed and eliminated the issue from happening to someone else. While we did not expect a refund they extended us one as well. Top notch and cannot wait to return!
Do not stay in site C1! The weeping willow dripped sap and leaves on everything! We now have a sticky mess of sap and leaves on our RV, truck, hoses, electrical cord, stairs, handle, slide toppers, dog leash and that's just the things that were outside. Floors inside are sticky too and had to throw entry mat away. The tree literally drapes onto the top of your RV so you can constantly hear the branches and leaves brushing the roof and sides. We had to be cautious closing the entry door as branches and leaves were getting stuck inside of it because they were in the way. It's a nice campground in a great location however we couldn't enjoy our stay. We weren't able to use the fire pit, picnic table or sit outside at all as the tree constantly drips sap and leaves which then stick to everything too.
When checking out I did mention this to a worker on the grounds and he was aware of the issue as it is not something that just happened. Owners need to remove the tree or take this site out of there reservation system.

Whispering River Resort is an amazing property situated along the Little River. Clean, well maintained, awesome staff. The property is likely 100 acres with loads of room to roam along the river. Great for kids and dogs with hiking trails, playground, pool, and a dog park. The location is ideal halfway between Maryville and the entrance to the GSMNP.
