The staff was so friendly and accommodating. Help us out a lot. They were always busy making the campground beautiful.

Very helpful Owner. Listened to our request and made it happen. It was a nice campground. The only thing that I was missing was a shelf in the bathroom to put my wash up kit. Great location for day trips to the Smokey Mountains and Looking Glass Falls. so much to see! about 50 minutes to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg.
Guest ★ 5 · Jun 2026
This was my second time staying at this campground. The receptionist at check-in was great she was very friendly and explained everything very well. All the staff were great at this campground. I look forward to returning to this campground again in the future. The grouds staff keep the campground very clean. I would recommend this campground to anyone.
