We only had a short stay but the Campground was clean and right at the end of Pigeon Forge on the National Park side. This put us in the middle of the area and close to both restaurants and beautiful hikes. 12/2/2021

Two big problems. WIFI would not work. It was very overloaded. Did not live up to site advertising Second issue-there was a big mud hole where we had to park. Aside from that the campground was nice. Will definitely return. 12/1/2021

We were late getting in and leaving early in the morning due to traffic on the highways but they took really good care of us for the one night. We will be back for sure to spend a at least 3 nights there.... Thank you 11/30/2021

The restrooms and showers were not maintained as well as in the past. Blood spots were in one of the showers. Hair collecting around the toilets. Disappointed but overall still a nice quiet and safe campground. Miss the Thanksgiving dinner... 11/29/2021

We rented two cabins and a campsite. We had 10 people with us. The cabins were next to each other and the campsite was close as well. It is obvious that the staff cared about our experience there. The cabins were clean and cozy and everything worked... 11/29/2021
