What an excellent park. The bathrooms were very clean and cleaned at least twice per day. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They gave us several sites to choose from and directed us to some we may like better. The store was nicely stocked and staffed by some of the nicest ladies we've dealt with. Our site was level with plenty of gravel and nice shade trees. There was some kind of truck show being hosted there and we were invited to join in the festivities which included breakfast, lunch and a bon fire and beer later in the evening. This is not the first time we have stayed here, and it won't be the last. I understand there was a management change a year or so ago. These folks that are running it now are doing a great job. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground has really gone down hill over the years thru change of ownership being now corporate. We had a family reunion using 3 cabins and 4 campsites. The campsites were not close to level--the fire pits were filthy but my main complaint was our children and their families staying in the 3 cabins. At $100+ per night they were best classified as the pits. Plumbing that didn't work, refrigerators that didn't operated properly. Cleaning between guest occupancy's was pathetic---2 towels were furnished for a 4 person cabin---same sheets all week long-----this is not acceptable. The workers there have been decreased at least 70%--and they know that the lake has not been stocked with trout in years and they continue to rip people off for $6.50 each to through the line in the water and catch nothing. I saw 4 trout caught in the lake in 5 days. It used to be that every time practically you casted a line you caught a trout. The campground was about 20% occupied all the time we were there, which only means---price up, services down--means they lose. We will never return there again after staying there on 4 or 5 other occasions. Sorry We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here from July 1st through 8th. The bathhouse we used was not the cleanest of places we have stayed but no where near the worst. Was not bad enough I had a problem with it, and I know it was cleaned very well at least once daily everyday we were there. People just made no effort to help keep it clean. We had the AC in our pop-up running non-stop, along with an extra refrig., fan outside, tv, dvd, etc. etc. and never had any problem with the power. The power did go off to the whole campground for a couple of hours one day, but it was off to the whole surrounding area as well so I didn't fault the campground for it. The water slide was just fast enough to be fun, but expect a scrape or two. The pool is nice & big especially for a campground, and was clean for most of our stay. Towards the end it seemed they got slack on vacuuming, cleaning. (grass, etc.) Our site was right next to the stream and trout pond and during certain times had a lot of flying insects around which was annoying but if you have a bug zapper take it and you won't be bothered. I was very impressed with the quantity and size of fish caught from the trout pond and how anyone who wanted to fish could catch one. The campground store is stocked very well and reasonably priced on everything I saw except beer which was outrageous. To sum it up this is a very nice campground and great for kids and adults alike. My only reasons for not giving it a 10 (perfect)are that camping and all the extras are expensive and things like the pool, bathhouses, campsites could be better maintained from a maintenance standpoint and also the staff could have been friendlier. They weren't rude or un-friendly but didn't seem to really enjoy what they were doing either. They should also consider spraying for insects like other campgrounds do. Just for the money there is definate room for improvement. We all had a good overall experience and I would recommend it over others in the area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground has serious management problems. The manager will cuss out a camper without trying to find out the real problem. He screams at them at the top of his lungs with cuss words. He and his wife are not manager material for working with the public. They pick and choose who gets discounts and who don't. If you are friends or campers the managers like they will give them discounts such as not charging for extra people. Some will get Good Sam discounts when they were admittedly not members. A very nice family came with children. The children were told they could not ride their small 2 wheeled motor scooters. One week later other children were allowed too. They were very rude to some of the campers. The campground has some serious sewer problems. The managers were hateful to a camper who complained that he had raw sewage backing up onto the ground beside his camper. This camper tolerated that for at least 3 days. When he complained they just got hateful with him. The managers do not care about the campers. When we left the campground the mens bathroom had mildew 3" high on the shower curtain. The bathrooms were disgusting. There is nothing for the children to do. No playground or volleyball,etc. We would not recommend this campground to anyone. We know all this because we worked there for 5 months. We are not saying all this because of our problems with the managers but because we do not feel this is a good campground to be in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stopped by this campground thinking it might be a possibility for our group to camp. This was very off-season (one camper in campground.) We did not drive by a gate or a sign asking us to check in. We drove slowly through campground, stopping to look more closely at site and my husband checked for 50 amp. The manager roared up to us in his SUV. We said hello and told him why we were there. He said quite rudely "this is private property and you have to leave!" We expected him to say "would you like a brochure?!" Driving off, we saw (presumably) his wife. We stupidly tried again saying we were looking at campground but are leaving because of rudeness. She waved her hand toward ground in dismissal and said "good enough for you!" Strange, hostile people. I'm glad we saw the attitude here before arriving with a group of campers! PS: Technically we did not stay at this campground, so particulars above are left at default. Nightly rate is required so guessed. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved our stay here. The sound of the Little River was a gentle, constant presence at our site. One afternoon we spent three hours on the 5-mile hiking loop that starts on one corner of the campground up the Little River Trail, to the Cucumber Gap Trail, then back on the Jake Creek Trail. In early April, wildflowers were profuse and the river beautiful. One note: we would classify the hike as 'moderate' rather than 'easy' as listed in the park's day hike brochure. The big downside was that we couldn't get any cell signal whatsoever (even with a booster) which meant we cut our stay short, as I work from our RV. One day we drove the RV to the Sugarland visitor's center, which is about 8 miles away, and I was able to work from the parking lot as that is one of the very few spots within the park that gets a cell signal...but with snow in the forecast, we decided to move to a campground outside the park to conclude our visit to the Great Smoky National Park. Also, a trip to the visitor's center is required to use the dump station and/or fill your water tanks. Despite the lack of cell signal and hookups, it's the prettiest RV campground within the park as far as we're concerned, and we look forward to returning soon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Primitive if you are used to resort class campgrounds,but lots of peace and quiet. Plenty of room for the kids to ride bikes and play in the river. Great area to commute to hiking trails, Gatlinburg, and Cades Cove. Sites clean and wide. Can be a little noisy if you are next to a generator site, but they still have certain hours of operation. Have pay phones for use, since no cell phone service is available. Store has plenty of firewood and supplies available if needed. Campground hosts accessible and very knowledgable. A peaceful place to relax and look for firefly sitings. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

No hookups, no showers, in the beautiful Smoky Mt. National Park campgrounds, and if you don't mind "roughing it", an area you must see.. Close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Very wooded, some sites on creek. We saw the firefly synchronization (a phenomena where hundreds of fireflies light up in synchronization) the ranger said the only other place to see that was in Asia. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great park with great owners. These are some of the nicest host's you will run in to. The park was spotless. The game room was great. The pool was nice. We had a site on the stream. The site wasn't huge, but we were happy with it. The only downside to this place was that it was a 20-30 minute drive any time you wanted to go somewhere. It is a bit out of the way. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just got back from Gatlinburg and our stay at Great Smokey Jellystone Resort. This was our first stay and will not be our last. The bathrooms, facilities and campground are immaculate. I am giving the campground a 9+ because the sites are a little close together but if we as fellow campers are respectful it should not and was not a problem. We camped right on the stream and what a good nights' sleep you will get. The owner of the park escorted us to our site, helped guide me back in and offered any help we would need. Staff was friendly and even moved some firewood over to our site left by the site next to ours. Activities for kids everyday keeps them as active as they want to be. Saw a previous report about "a RV over 28ft", I saw a lot of vehicles; motorhomes and fifth wheels over that length and they fit just fine into the sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I was a bit concerned after reading a couple of the negative comments posted. However, I was very happy with the campground. Our site was wonderful. It backed up to a rushing stream. A canopy of trees left our site shady and cool. Having stayed at quite a few campgrounds in the area many times, I know that large sites are hard to come by. We were more than pleased with our site here. Our 33' Travel Trailer and Truck fit just fine. We were a very comfortable distance from our neighbors. However, a few of the sites in the campground are tight. Unfortunately, that is typical for campgrounds in the area. We love the shadiness of the campground. Some campgrounds in the area are more like concrete parking lots with no shade. So, this campground was a welcome relief. Bathhouses and grounds are kept immaculate. Wifi and cable tv worked great. The owners escort you and help you in to your site. Nice playground, pool and miniature golf course. There were lots of planned activities including a hayride for the families along with a band Saturday night. Dave, the park owner, brought out his drum set and played along and he is quite impressive. All in all a super campground. I can't imagine the family being rude to anyone. They were never anything but nice and polite to us. Maybe the previous reviewer had a run in with a workcamper? As for the stream, I was happy to see some water in it. Drought has really effected the area. We hiked to a couple of waterfalls that, while still pretty, were considerably smaller. We had a very nice camping experience and made reservations to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The Park name has changed to Smoky Bear Campground. We started off planning on spending a week and ended up spending almost two. The park is very well kept up. The owners are extremely friendly and we found the park quiet and peaceful even when it was completely full. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What a wonderful place to stay! Paved roads and the 50 amp. pull thru's are also paved. Absolutely spotless groundskeeping and spotless restrooms. The staff are very nice and helpfull at all times. Cable tv only has limited channels. VERY, VERY clean campground. I would love to own a small campground like this!!! Approximately 15-20 minute drive to Gatlinburg but roads are very good. Use caution when exiting campground (busy highway). For directions, see any campground directory. We camped here in a camper.

This site is not well kept. It was dumpy, worn out and the hostess was completely awful. It took me 15 minutes to make a reservation on the phone. I spoke to Marie. This person could care less about being customer oriented. Our cableTV jack did not work, I went to have it fixed and they said the person would come by in 1/2 hr., they never showed. The sewer wasnt flowing correctly and almost resulted in a big "mess". I was able to get it to flow by dumping slowly. ONLY stay here if you want a place to sleep and then be on your way. This site is not a place I would want to stay for several days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We also were surprised to find this campground had openings during the peak fall season when no other area campground had a site available for just a Friday night. The reasons became obvious once we got there. The campground was 90% empty. No credit cards, only cash. A recent heavy rain left the campground with a lot of standing water and mud. The pool was partially drained and the water that remained had a nice green color. The cable TV at the site we picked was not working. We did find cables run between trees split numerous times ending with a bundle of cable hanging from a tree at the next site over that we could connect to. Needless to say the picture quality was not great. The real excitement started once we were setup and ready to catch the trolley into Gatlinburg. The manager/owner of the campground was threatening to beat-up and kill an elderly man who was giving him some sort of trouble. A minute later the police pulled in and got involved. We watched this all unfold as we were waiting for the trolley and wondered if we dared to leave our RV there unattended or even to spend the night there. Being the slightly adventurous types we decided to stay. Our sleep was interrupted a couple times with sirens stopping in front of the campground and what sounded like a gunshot later on. The reviews we've read on this forum have been very helpful and pretty accurate. If we had checked this campground out before our stay we could have avoided paying the going rate for a one night stay in a run down and scary campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Do not go here unless you are looking only for a place to park. The campground is for sale and has been neglected for quite some time it seems. I have stayed here twice and would not return. The campers next door had problems with their sewer hook up and my site was flooded with the overflow. Both times I have stayed, the campground has had water and sewer problems with plumber
