This is by far our favorite campsite to-date! Nice spacious and level sites with full hookups, patios and fire pits at each site. Much more room and privacy than typical rv resorts. Great Smoky Mountain National Park is within walking distance - we walked to Maddron Bald Trailhead. Nice playground and pool on site, along with a clubhouse and small camp store. I believe laundry is on site, but we didn’t use it. Very friendly staff; the guy who assists on the property was amazing ! He greeted each new guest and helped every RV back into their campsite. This was so vital for us, as it was our first time backing into a site with our new fifth wheel. Very kid and pet friendly, but also quiet and relaxing. The fenced-in dog run is not lit, nor does it provide doggie bags, so be sure to bring your own bags and flashlight. This place is pretty out in the middle of nowhere, but there are a few local groceries if you need food. Would stay here over and over again! We didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend staying here, only 20 mins from Gatlinburg!

Cabin #42 was furnished and immaculate with a comfy queen bed and bunk beds. Including Also Clean linens (sheets, towels) are provided. They also provide enough coffee and toilet paper for your stay. Staff were friendly. Cleanest facilities I've ever experienced at a campground. Large personal bathrooms available with shower and sink. Nice laundry room open 24 hours. We were here in June for my sons birthday and enjoyed the in ground swimming pool!

Second year in a row camping here. It's a beautiful setting and the sites are well spaced and level. The patio sites with packages included furniture and paved pads are very nice. Staff is always super friendly. Definitely part of our campground rotation.
