RV sites are spacious and the park is easy to navigate. We always try and get a spot right on the river. Very peaceful and quiet every time we have gone. Very close to town to go and enjoy all the attractions.

Basic campground with no amenities. Price was good and great location close to all activities in Pigeon Forge. Staff was very friendly. Full hookups, tight sites. Great place I'd you don't need the amenities.

We loved this place. We stayed five nights and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful sounds of nature even though we were so close to the action of the main drag in Pigeon Forge. We stayed in one of the river front sites and even floated the river one day from one end to the other of the campground. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The laundry room was perfect for getting things... We loved this place.

The laundry room was perfect for getting things cleaned up before heading to our next destination. We arrived on a Saturday and they had a live gospel band on stage at the pavilion followed with a church service on Sunday morning. If we find ourselves back in the area in the future we will definitely stay here again.

Very nice place. We stayed here so we could visit Dollywood. Lots are a bit small. As I would come down my stairs the next lot pedestal and sewer hookup was about 3 ft away. It was concrete and level. I would say easy to get to normally, but we happened to hit during fall car show. So traffic was bad. I would stay again, but pick my site. 44ft 5gh wheel doesnt fit everywhere. The trolley does not... Very nice place. We stayed here so we could visit Dollywood. Lots are a bit small.
