By way of an update for 2006, I agree with all comments posted last year. Seems to cater mostly to big rig seasonals, and although the sites are very crowded together, this seems to be the norm for this area. Refreshingly excellent cable tv and wifi. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small park really tight.Park has been cut out between to Mts so you are setting down in between 2 mts kind of like a large road going through them could not use satellite dish and no good reception on tv but had cable extra 1.50 night. Small swimming pool, no where to walk dogs cause its steep parks runs up hill. Guess I would go back but if only could not get into River Plantation about same money but lots nicer park 2 pools extra large hot tub there. This was the only park we could get into Memorial weekend We camped here in a Motorhome.
It was a nice park with cement pads. We liked it because it is off the main road and not so busy. Sites were a little tight but we were gone most of the time see the sights. We would go there again and recommend to other people. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Newer park with concrete pads to park on. Sites were somewhat narrow and weren't big enough for us to park trailer (29ft) and truck without sticking out in the road. Pool was nice but small and playground was creekside and small also. A good park if you have a small camper or can get one of the few larger sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff is VERY friendly. This must have been the week for everyone to visit the Smokies, 2 hours to get into town, 2 hours to get out of town. The only way to get around town is to have a good GPS. I forgot how small the spaces are! We were in the front, I was able to get into the "front" Wi-Fi node fairly solid. They do have a bandwidth issue, when it gets loaded, you still get a good signal, but no DNS resolution. We camped here in a Motorhome.
First time here, and not very impressed. Sites are very close together, and had to really position camper just right to able to open awning. If our camper had slides, we would not have been able to use them the way the trees are positioned. Our site was long enough to have our camper in it (26') and had to park truck sideways in driveway/grass. There is a playground advertised, but none here. Heard that they tore it out very recently to do some renovations, but we were not told about it. With two little ones, this is very important to us and really wish they had mentioned it. Wi-Fi depends on where you are. We were in D133 and were told that the Wi-Fi doesn't work "in the back" for unknown reason. It will work sitting in front of the office. Our site was pretty unlevel, but not terrible. It was ok, but next time will try Pine Mountain, Riverbend, or River Plantation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Three generations of family run the park and are very personable. Referred us to El Paso Mexican restaurant that was great! Park has a restaurant, grocery, gas, and RV parts store which was helpful. Purchased the RV park behind them and are underway to improve it. Great location and easy to reach. Does not have a dog run/park. The ducks are a nice distraction, very kid friendly, allows campfires in fire rings. Wood at nearby Kroger $4/bundle. For a resort park the slots are not tight, but not overly large either. We plan on visiting this park many more times. We stayed in section A, pull-through #40, 80' long, close to front of park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We found it to be a very nice campground. The restrooms and laundry were very nice. The kids loved the pool, game room and snack bar. It was close to everything. The sites are a little close but they all are in Pigeon Forge. We would definitely camp here again. The staff was very nice and kept the campground very clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First stay here. Staff very nice. Sites small and there were cables for tv running from site to site above ground, I think they were working on this problem. Kids on golf carts everywhere!! Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is probably the best we have ever camped in. We will never stay in another campground when camping in Pigeon Forge. It was better than we could have ever imagined. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first time at Clabough's. At check in the office was tidy, office workers were pleasant. Our site was cramped, un-level, dirty and very noisy. I could go on, but it would only sound like I had a bone to pick. I do not. We cut our stay a day short because of our experience, and we actually needed some sleep because of the noise. This was the worst campground experience in our 3 years of camping. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
4th time staying at GC. Stayed at site 114 site which was not level, and could not use awning due to having to park next to camper. However, this was not a problem due to shade trees. Sewer hook up was higher then camper outlet causing problems with back up and smell. Nice pool and playground they added, and as always, my child had fun feeding the many ducks that come to your camper. I will camp here again but at a different site We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground was very nice! Lots of shade, very clean, and the staff was very nice. Every evening we had a huge family of ducks come visit from the stream. Everybody seemed to get a kick out these ducks. Wifi was good but was down 1 night. The site was not level, so bring lots of wood to balance out your RV. Next time we are in Pigeon Forge, we will definitely come back and stay here! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Great CG. Nice large spaces. They charged us for 2 sites since we had 9 people. Don't know why they couldn't just have a per person surcharge. Anyway, nice site, plenty of shade. Close to the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg action. We avoided commercial stuff and took a tour of the smokies, went to the Forbidden Caverns (fun) and just hung out. Had a problem with the valve on our black tank and Ricky's RV Repair was there within two hours and fixed it right up. Highly recommended. Nice guy too. Don't know why people complain about pulling out of this campground. I never had a problem with our 40' diesel rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Called for reservation while in route. Gentleman on phone said reservations not necessary. Wrong! Upon arrival staff was apologetic and very nice and tried very hard to find a space large enough for us (38') for the 4 nights. Found one for 3 nights and then had to move to a different site (didn't mind). We had car trouble and were unsure if we would be able to leave on time and campground reserved our site for one extra night just in case we had to stay. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great park. I have never given one a 10, but I think this cg rates it. We were on the creek and had ducks visit us everyday. The only improvement could be, the sites marked a little better, but surely not anything to complain about. The staff was great. I has a small electrical problem the first day and called the office. Less than 5 minutes a service man was there and took care of it. Clean, easy in and out. Quiet , even as close to the road as we were. I cant say enough good about the park. This will be our place to stay when we are back in Pigeon Forge for vacation. Wifi was good and free.Many staff people going around painting picnic tables, doing maintenance, and trash pick up at your site . We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean, staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that we made a reservation 2 months prior and were placed right beside 2 other campers who also booked sites weeks in advance, while that doesn't seem bad, we were the only three campers on the entire road that had 15 other empty spots the entire week we stayed, we could at least have had some distance between us. Luckily we made friends with the other 2 campers and had a good time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was quite helpful to us. We booked three nights and they held two additional nights for us until we could run out to Townsend to see if we wanted to move there for the weekend. In this high volume season, I thought this was quite nice. We have no slides so the site was perfect for us spacewise. Most of the campers around us seem to be return visitors as we will be. Also it was quite warm for October so they still had their pool open. Most other campgrounds had already closed theirs. If we hadn't been on the go so much, I would have used it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park, great location to visit all the major attractions in Pigeon Forge. Staff helpful and friendly. You check in at the Exxon station they have a great big store and restaurant. Two pools but no hot tub. We was in site 113 and it was unlevel but not enough that we couldn't live with it. Also had really poor WiFi signal in this site. Plenty of room to walk around, over all its a really nice campground. I gave it a 8 because of the unlevel site and poor WiFi signal. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was year #5 here. We really like Clayboughs. We always try to get a space near the creek, and the kids love feeding the noisy ducks. Did I mention that the ducks were noisy? they are just plain LOUD. We love the Smokey's in the fall, and early October is after all the "Rod Week events". We camped here in a Motorhome.
Staff has been accommodating to our request to stay an additional 3 days during a high season. Nicely laid out with wide roads and easy sites to either pull thru or back in. Has 2 swimming pools, one seems to be for small children. Nice laundry facilities. General store and restaurant are in same building as the office. Also has Exxon gas station on premises. Easy to walk to the trolley stops. Some seasonal people with nicely decorated and maintained sites. This is our second stay here and would return again. Also has free wifi. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked this campground , nice paved roads and a fair amount of large sites. Pull throughs have more room I think, some of the back in sites were small. There is a bunch of ducks 100 or more that gather at night near the bathhouse at the rear of the campground, pretty smelly. They have a nice store up front with a ton of supplies and restaurant. Nice pools and they have entertainment on Friday night and kareoke on Saturday night. Nice place to ride bikes and the Pigeon Forge Trolley has a stop inside the park. Good cable with lots of channels, but internet was slow. We will stay here again when we return, good value for the money. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park would have received a higher rating from me, but the drive from I-40 to get there was bumper to bumper at a snail's pace. The CG setting was very nice and well maintained. Staff was not real friendly, as I had to call a couple of times for directions to the CG (the directions made it sound like it was right off I-40). Pull thru sites are nice and we had a nice view of the stream. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Huge quiet campground, nice sites, nice sized concrete pads and paved roads, huge camp store and nice pools. Wish had a playground for the kids. Convenient location for vacationing, supplies and gas (convenience store on the campground). Campground has plenty of shade and is nice and flat for bicycle riding. Excellent selection of cable channels. Otherwise nothing special over any other campground in the area. Price includes 2 adults, four kids, and a pet with full hook-up including cable. Excellent value for the price. Will come back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Fairly large campground with decent sized sites, some were pretty close together but really pretty much average for the area. Restrooms were reasonably clean and well maintained during a busy Memorial Day weekend with almost every site full. Country music entertainment at the campground pavilion on Friday and Saturday night. Campground office is located in a convenience store with quite a few supplies. There is also a smaller store in the campground with very limited supplies. Two swimming pools but one is very small. Campground was very busy and crowded but quiet time was enforced. Convenient location. Don't know if campground has WiFi etc. or not since I have no use for it. We will probably stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall the campground was nice and quiet. It is not a very good place if you have small children who like a play ground, they don't have one. When we arrived they had given our site that we had reserved away to a bigger rig. This upset me very much. This was our first big trip in a fifth wheel and we wanted a pull through site for the ease of setting up. They accommodated us in a different site, which turned out to be better after all. We met some really great people here. The food in the deli was really good, but a bit high in price. All in all we would stay here again, so that we could see some of the really nice people that we met while here. We stayed nine nights. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped at Claboughs during spring break this year. We had reserved a pull through site but when we arrived, the site had a tree keeping us from using our awning. We called and were given a few options to move to and selected a back in site. The management told us the campground was pretty much fully booked for the upcoming weekend even though there were several open sites. We hooked up and found the site we picked was fine. During the remaining days, only five to ten more campers came in the area where we were set up. Appeared to me the management was trying to cluster the campers together to make it easier for their clean up crews. The campground was quiet and clean. The showers were clean and all were working with the exception of one. We used the laundry room and it worked fine and was reasonably priced. Claboughs is located off the main traffic of Pigeon Forge and is a good location to visit the area. There was a new grocery store within a half mile and Clabough's had a store and gas station on the site. There were two pools at the campground that looked to be in fine shape but it was way too cold to even think about getting into it. I did notice when I dumped my tanks before leaving there was some overflow out of the sewer hookup below our site. I would recommend you stay on the higher ground or in the middle of the flatter areas. I would recommend this campground. It was worth the price we paid. It had a good selection of cable channels and was easy to get in and out of when we left for a day of looking around. I rated it an 8 because of the sites being a bit tight in spots and the management maybe not being totally truthful about what was going on. I have to give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe there were a 100+ cancelations. We will camp there if we visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camp at this campground 4-5 times a year and have never had a problem, the owners are great and have done so much to fix up the campground.They bought the back section a few years ago and have added concrete pads at all the sites. We prefer the back section only because it is less packed with bigger campers. The sites are level and the store and snack shop are always stocked. The food is great that they serve during breakfast and lunch and having the trolley there is great for people who want to save gas. Come and see why I love this place so much. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Our favorite campground in Pigeon Forge. Owners were great and keep a very clean campground. 2 pools and weekend karakoe made the weekend very fun. Oldest son fished in the river and my youngest 2 children loved to feed the ducks in the campground. If you have family who do not have a camper then they may rent either a vacation home or log cabin home for less than a hotel stay on the strip. Store makes a great breakfast and lunch and it is very reasonable. You may catch the trolley right in the campground also. We camped in the back "D" section better section for pop-ups and such. The paved roads make it easier for kids riding bikes or golf carts to travel around the campground. I would recommend to anyone and we camp here at least 4-5 times a year, can't wait till spring!! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Large campground. Staff is not willing to work you on finding a site. Several sites are uneven and some very difficult to back into. The sites have not had stone placed for many years and have ruts. Knowing how some of the sites were, we recorded the sites we felt would be able to accomodate us. We called for reservations for one these sites. We were told that they have 310 sites and there was no way she could put us in a requested site. Will not stay there again unless managment changes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The owners are very helpful and easy to work with. The cable TV had a long list of channels. The Wi-Fi was fast most of the time. We will being going back there next October. The trolley has a stop inside the CG. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in the peak fall color season, so the area was packed. This campground is clean and quiet. The sites are small, which seems to be the norm for the area. The location is very convenient to most attractions, and the trolley comes through. The Wi-Fi was good, as well as the cable. We had two days of rain during our week there, and since the drainage isn't very good, there were lots of muddy places. We saw the staff adding gravel to one site where the coach door opened onto mud. Some sites are short, but the staff knows their campground well and will ask questions about your unit before you are assigned a site. There isn't much dog-walking space, unless you're parked on the edge of the creek, but there's a steep hill down from most of those sites to the creek. Of course, we pick up after our dogs, but you still hate to have your dog poop on someone's campsite! The bathhouse was really clean. The laundry looked nice, but we didn't use it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I guess this could be a 9 1/2 with the Wi-Fi being sometimes slow, however those things don't mean that much to us. This park is very clean, quiet and reasonably priced. We have already made our reservations for next year. This park can be a bit tight, but manageable. The manager is very helpful and friendly, there is a trolley stop on the premises and it's handy to all the attractions. I would definitely recommend this park and it's a passport park (one of the better ones). We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice Park. The sites are a little tight for a large rig, but we made it. Hosts were willing to give us at least one day of Passport although they don't usually do so in July. Park is close to all the activity as well as having a trolley that comes by. This would certainly be our base when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a nice campground for the money. Spaces were a bit tight to maneuver into with a 34ft 5er but we were able to get in okay. Enjoyed the pool and the location of the CG in relation to area attractions. Staff was not real friendly but did no interact with them after check-in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Had issues with the WiFi with staying connected. Other than that I would highly recommend the Campground. Will definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a nice park close to the action of Pigeon Forge, but out of all the noise and lights. The parking pad was level gravel and next to it was a cement patio with a picnic table. We found the site a little too tight. Our picnic table had a great view of the neighbor’s sewer. Lots of ducks and duckling roam the park. The restrooms and showers are newer looking and clean. The laundry room has AC which was a nice plus! Free wifi was available; however even though we were within two spots of the office we got a stronger signal from the neighboring campground and used theirs. The Pigeon Forge trolley stops at the campground regularly. We found the staff helpful and nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Relatively quiet campground in a not-so-quiet, bustling town. Campground is only about 10-15 minutes from Dollywood and Dolly's Stampede. We didn't get the Passport America rate--guess they sold all of those? Campsites aren't too large. Fortunately, we paid extra to park on creek so we had a deeper lot than most. Oh, yes, those ducks and ducklings are adorable! People in office are VERY nice and gave us names of several RV mechanics. Plenty of trash cans around, and they are emptied every day. Yes, we would go back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is awesome ! Very friendly staff. Family owned and I agree with the comment below that it seems like they take pride in keeping this park up ! I don't know what the last person (who gave a not so good review) was expecting. There is no bathroom in the same all around gated pool , but they are less then 200 ft away !!! Bathhouses are extremely nice and looks like they were re-tiled recently! Wi-Fi was ok on some days and great on others, but we talked with one of the owners and they said a modem went out and it was replaced the next day . Wi-Fi great after that. Close to all the main attractions but far away from all the noise at night too.We will definitelhy stay here again and will recommend to all ! Would have given it a 10,but the pool wasn't heated, but not an issue at all. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice neat and clean park. The site are a little tight but usable. There are only five pull-through sites and they are fairly short. You are charged extra for a pull through and extra for 50 amp service. Since all pull through sites have 50 amp service, you will have to pay for it if you need it or not. The free WiFi worked great, the free cable TV provided close to 100 channels. It is far enough away from the busy roads to be reasonably quiet at night. We used the Passport America 50% discount rate for our stay. The park has a dog walk area along the creek but you have to walk through an occupied site to use it, which I do not like to do. Many sites have plenty of shade and with the provided cable service it is not a concern if your satellite antenna is blocked. There are numerous trash barrels throughout the park. This is a fine park with a friendly staff. It is right near everything that you may want to see in and around the Smokey Mountain National Park. We would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Passport America rate. Picnic table, small trees, cable, Wi-Fi a bit slow; air card was faster. Small swimming pool…not heated...no bathroom by pool. Laundry room dryers did not work, but office refunded money. Dump hose had to carry water up a grade. Our site backed on a regularly used road---we used ear plugs. Sites close together. Lots of ducks, but more in the future: we counted 20 babies. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our 2nd time to stay here. The park is absolutely great. The bath house is very clean, and the laundry was also great. This is family operated, and you can tell they take pride; no paper or cigarette butts on the grounds. The Wi-Fi was free unlimited use.The pool was not open yet but they were getting it opened. We would stay again next time we're in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great RV park. Sites are a good size with shade trees. The pool is very clean. It is easy to pull into site. There are picnic tables and fire rings on each site. Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay and will definitely stay here again when we are in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park should be a model for all parks to follow. First of all they accepted PA discount all week. Talked to other campers and they used another discount which was accepted. I look at private parks completely different than state or county or Corps Of Engineers because usually you are subject to a completely different environment to make ends meet. This park had no long term tenants. The bathrooms appeared clean. The laundry seemed clean. Wi-fi was great, staff very helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice RV park. Most of the sites are shaded. There are some pull thru sites. The back in sites were roomy enough to not be a problem. Sites were graveled with a concrete patio and picnic table. Sites along the creek had a nice grassy area leading down to the creek. Check in was fast. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. There is a pool, camp store and a Pavilion. The rest rooms and showers were extremely clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed there two nights. The CG was nice. It's basic with nothing fancy. But it was clean and quiet. All roads are paved. Sites are gravel with a concrete slab and picnic table. Nice area to walk dogs along creek. Decent shade trees. 50 amp sites are limited but since it was winter and we didn't need both a/c's that wasn't a problem. Low price due to Passport America discount. I gave it a 9 only because they advertise Wi-Fi but when you log on you find out that you only get two free log ins. Either I overlooked that or they failed to tell me. There is a Pigeon Forge bus that comes to CG but it takes 45 minutes to get to bus station. Recommend driving to bus station then getting on trolley. Of course we did this in the winter. There may not be enough parking in the summer to do that. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here for several years for New Years. Each year we come we find the owners to be very friendly and the campground to be very clean. We used Passport America and will keep coming back for years to come. This campground is close to everything and yet far enough to be quiet at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park & convenient to anything around. Plenty of grocery stores, gas stations & shopping. We always enjoy going to the Black Bear Dinner Show & Dollywood so it was nice not having to drive a long way there. We stayed on stream side for 10 days & love the ducks (approx. 40) that are quacking, love being fed & swimming in the stream. The park is pet friendly with a lot of room to carry your dog on a walk- of course you should clean up after your doggy. The only negative we found is the parking. We stayed in one that does not have enough room for a larger vehicle to park so thankfully we have a Land Rover that could be parked sideways. There are quite a few other spots that we would like to stay in next time that has enough room for parking. I don't know why everyone says that this park doesn't have room enough for their trailers because we didn't have a problem there. Ours is a 30' travel trailer & we fit fine. We really enjoyed our stay here because of the convenience & how nice the park is. The only other negative, I guess, is the owners are not really personable, but that is fine as long as they are not mean & they weren't. You never hear from them really so as long as you follow the rules of the park you will be left alone your entire stay. We will definitely stay here again. You can't beat the price ($18 - $30 with discount clubs). During the holidays we got the 10% discount for being a member of the Good Sam Club & other times we got 1/2 off because of being in the Camp Club USA travel club. We didn't use the bath house but we heard from others that it is very clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A good park. Some sites are pretty close together. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The WI-FI worked good. I would stay here again. (800) 498-4801 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Passable size sites with cordial office staff. The grounds are well taken care of. There is a huge cable line up. The pool is small for the number of sites. A good as a base for local attractions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The spaces were tight but really was not that bad. Staff was really helpful and nice, especially when we were trying to find a space to fit our trailer. Spaces were level and the concrete pad was nice, a little small but at least we had one. Pool is on the small side, but was good. Very convenient to everything Pigeon Forge has to offer, it's not far off of the main drag. Campground very quiet and family oriented and I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Passport America. Nice clean park, but very tight sights. I could reach out my window and touch the neighbors awning! Some shade. Our site #10 was a back in and the front to rear was so slanted that I had to dig out the ground to get the rear stabilizers down. Took about a 1-1/2 hrs to set up. Sewer was WAY at the back. I used 40 ft. of hose! Small concrete patio, gravel site. Quiet and I felt secure. Staff was nice. Water pressure was OK at 35 psi and volume and taste we just OK. With all that said if I was in the area again I would probably stay again. The ducks were a neat sight. Nice compared to other parks in Pigeon Forge. A real nice park is in Gatlinburg...Twin Creeks RV Resort, but expensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
My husband and I love this campground. It is clean, well kept and has all the amenities we need. We have been there 3 times and are sure to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
From the moment we called to schedule our reservation early that morning, every single person we spoke with or worked with was excellent and super friendly. The campgroup was clean, easy to find, easy to park and was beautiful. We had a creekside spot and it was wonderful! The ducks walked by several times and the kids loved it. We would highly recommend this campground to everyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is everything an RV park should be. It's also well-located to the attractions of the area, including Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mtn National Park. Owner's are an extremely friendly young couple who recognize what it takes to make RVers happy: Great wifi, a clean park, friendly check-in, knowledge of the area AND they take Passport America. Be sure to ask at the front desk for the new restaurant discount program, which includes some of the area's most popular restaurants, not just places that are starving for business. Congrats to Creekside for getting my first 10 out of roughly 20 reviews. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not a large campground but they offer all the necessities. The trolley service has a stop at the campground which makes getting around easy. The owners are nice and helpful. Have reservations for next October already. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Pros: Very attractive campground. Sites include concrete area. Cable and WiFi work well. Clean laundry. Trolley takes you to the main trolley system. Cons: Most sites are permanent residences. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice CG, great people at front desk. Gravel pads with full hook-ups plus cable free. Some road noise at near by two lane residential road. Would stay again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground for being in the Pigeon Forge area was a nice surprise. The sites were wide for being located in the city, but were still close at the same time. This campground does have a trolley that runs every 45-60 minutes that brings you to the main trolley terminal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Sites very narrow but adequate. Full hookups. Nice family of ducks. Pool small but adequate and clean. On trolley route to Pigeon Forge. Would stay here again. WIFI worked well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very nice park, with a great price. We paid about $27 with GS discount. Like all the parks in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area, the sites were very close together, but from what we saw from the other parks that we drove through, this park has as much room as any of them and more than most of them. This park is also located off the main road, so it was not as crowded getting in and out, and traffic noise was non-existent. It was however centrally located, so getting to all the attractions was easy and convenient. The staff at this park was friendly, and the one and only issue we had (a breaker kept tripping), they had replaced on a Sunday afternoon very shortly after I reported it. The sites had level, gravel RV pads, and a great concrete patio with picnic table. The utilities were in good shape (especially after the breaker was replaced) and were well positioned on the site. There was standard cable TV with lots of choices. There was plenty of grass between the sites and a nice amount of shade. I had no problems backing in my 33’ fifth wheel. The restrooms were clean, air conditioned, and well appointed. The pool was very small but adequate to accommodate my kids. It was open until 10 or so during our stay in mid July. We highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The good is, the campground is clean and relatively quiet. Restrooms and showers were clean. Staff friendly. We stayed on the water view, which are the only sites I would consider. The bad is, that the sites are tight. Took me 20 minutes to back in due to vehicles parked on road, tree on side of site, and small sites. They are back ins and are straight back, not angled. If the vehicles had not bee parked there it may not have been so bad, but it would have been tight just the same. There is a small pool on site that was very clean, but it is crowded on a hot day. May stay here again, but will explore other campgrounds in Gatlinburg, which is 10 minutes away. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed in one of the premium sites along the creek. This gives you more space behind your campsite since another site is not behind you. This is a typical commercial campground with relative small sites; pads are made from crushed rock; and are pretty level. There are trees and grass at each site. The park is quiet. I also talked with several campers who had tried other parks in the area and they said that this was the quietest park in the area. The trolley runs through the park to pickup campers, but it only runs to the central station. You then have to catch another trolley and pay again to go to any other attraction in Pigeon Forge. I would have rated this park higher if the sites had been larger. We would probably stay here again if we wanted to visit Pigeon Forge. If we wanted to visit the National Park only we would probably camp somewhere else possibly in Towsend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice rv park, plenty shade...decent size sites. A member of Passport America...PA rates Sunday thru Thursday...Good Sam for the other days. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful Park. Nice landscaping. Spaces are a bit tight, but not as tight as the KOA we stayed at last night. Pull-thru site is level and long. Friendly check-in. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We've used several campgrounds in the Pigeon Forge area. Creekside is the pick of the lot. The bathroom/shower upgrades were a significant improvement. Land is expensive in this area, so don't expect lots of space. If you need a big site and want distance between you and your neighbor, you'll have to stay far out of town. If you want a clean, convenient location as a base to visit the area, Creekside will do nicely. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here and absolutely loved this park. The employees were very helpful. The bathrooms were beyond great.I cannot believe that someone would give this park a 2. It may not be perfect for every RV, but it was perfect for ours. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We came here via passport America. We found the woman working the check in desk to be very friendly and fully accommodating. Sites were limited and we ended up taking a site that backed up to the road. I could not get not the motor home level even after 3 try's (auto levelers), After deciding to spent the night in the downhill position I went out to hook up. I could not even come close to hook up to the sewer with my 20 foot hose. Electric and water were within reasonable reach. Then after giving up on Sewer I went inside to set up the dish. Satellite is "iffy" on the side of the street. Also I was unable to put the awning out due to a tree that was close to the coach. We left a day early on a 3 night stay because we were unhappy. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground. Sites are gravel with grass on the side and concrete patio area with bench. The sites are very tight. We stayed in 110 which is a pull through with enough room. Shore power and water was not in the middle of the site so I had to pull a little farther through the site to connect water. Sewer is in the back so you may need a long sewer hose. There is no dog run. Can't get to the creek banks without walking through a campsite. Restrooms and washer room are nice an clean. Attendant was nice but busy. Church service was held on Sunday in an out door pavilion by a young lady from Smokey Mountain Ministries. There is also a cowboy church that is in the area also for church services. Info is in the laundry room. Overall this is not a bad place to stay. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice clean park. Owners were friendly and looked like they took real good care of the park. Will be coming back to stay again. Close to all the action but with easy assess to get in and out but still far enough to get out of all the Pigeon Forge traffic. Able to also get a good satellite connection. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice mid-sized park. The management is very friendly, the facilities are clean, the park grounds are well-maintained, and it's located right near everything you'd need to have but far enough away (about 15 min) from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. The trolley even runs through and will pick you up at your site! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would give this campground a 10 , except for the one lady who worked the office was rude(when we did talk to her) and the time that we stayed there the store was never open and no one would ever answer the phone when we tried to call. The campground itself is very nice, sites are clean, trash is picked up often, bath houses are big and clean. Seems like a nice place to stay , if you could get the staff to do their job . We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an excellent campground. It is just right off the main parkway. The sites are a little tight, but everything is paved and very level. The bath house and showers were VERY clean. The staff was helpful and the store had supplies needed for the laundry facility and other supplies needed for camping. We camped creekside, and those sites are very pretty facing the creek. Will stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
All I can say is for this being our first time here. I can't say enough about this campground it really is located about a mile off the main street (441S). The only thing to watch out for is when you turn onto Henderson Springs Road to go to Creekside Campground, you'll first see another campground but immediately after is Creekside We almost went right past the drive. The roads are all paved and the pool is clean, there is a basketball hoop by the office and the bathroom/shower houses are very clean and air conditioned. Also the wife said the laundry room was clean. You can catch the trolley in the campground. I would recommend taking the trolley at least if you plan on going to Gatlinburg, as it was convenient and we didn't have to look for parking. There is plenty of shade and full hookups. Cable channels seemed to have a good selection. The owners were nice and the had firewood, ice and limited rv supplies available. They do accept good sam's. The campground is close to gas & stores. We had a great stay and we will camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We love this campground. Owners are friendly. Pool is clean. Restrooms are clean. We always stay at this campground when in Pigeon Forge. Pet friendly. Quiet. Cable TV is great. Sites are large and clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice Park! Small and somewhat off the beaten path but still very convenient to everything. Staff was very friendly and even though had older camper parked next to 1/2 million dollar motor homes, everyone was exceptionally nice. Pool was not open due to cold weather but appeared to be very tidy and laundry facilities were spotless. First night we were there, it snowed 1-2 inches and found that campground owners had came by and taken off water hoses to prevent damage. I was very impressed with the care they provided. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites are a little close together but many RV parks in the Pigeon Forge have sites even closer. There is a scenic little creek that runs behind some of the sites. Security is excellent. Owner/managers are doing a fine job. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was GREAT. The roads are now paved and nice. The trolly passes all the way through the park. We stayed on the stream side and the gravel sight sloped down towards the stream and also there is not much space between sites. You will get to know your neighbor very well. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very well managed, family-owned park. Spotless laundry, etc... and nicely maintained landscaping. Quiet,yet convenient to all attractions. Would be a 10 except we were in the pull thru section where there is no shade and it got very hot. Other sites have nice shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here the week of Christmas, 2004 Staff was very friendly. The bathrooms were very clean. The trolley came through the campground about every 45 minutes. Some of the fire pits are too close to the camper, especially with slideouts. We were able to use a fire pit on another site since it was not crowded this time of the year. We would camp there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

They were paving the roads the week after we left. Well maintained park with level sites. Some sites are small and some are a bit difficult to back into because of small tree locations. Nice location out of main traffic of Pigeon Forge. Sites are fairly deep but not real wide although enough room for slideouts and awnings. We will return if in area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly staff. Extremely clean park. Bathroom/shower/laundry areas all very clean.
Many campers with pets but we never saw dog droppings anywhere. Garbage was picked up every morning - never saw any paper or trash laying on the ground.
Gravel road did make the area dusty. Trolly comes right through the park every 45 minutes. You can stand at your site and they will stop to pick you up and bring you back until 9PM. Small trees separate each site which have cement pad, table and full hookups 30/50 amps and cable TV. Sites are a little close together but we were able to open all our slides and put awning out. Looked as if some people had set up camp for the season but everything was neat and tidy. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Located approximatley 3/4 of a mile off of the main strip in Pigeon Forge TN. Campground is mostly open and airy with small trees in between most sights. Not enough to provide any shade yet but also does not complicate positioning your RV. Main road is an elongated oval made of gravel and the sights are gravel. Each site has a concrete pad that you can position RV next to and put awning out to cover picnic table and have a nice sitting area. Campground is clean with trash cans at most sites or strategically placed so you don't have to walk far to get to one. Bathhouse is kept in good clean condition. Haven't used their showers but they look clean. They are a Good Sam's campground. Stream on one side of campground. Not a rushing mountain stream but still gives you a nice little extra something to look at. Stayed there several times in last 3 years wtih a 31 ft. fiver. We camped here in a camper.
Eagle's Nest Campground was very noisy, a chainsaw going off @ 7 AM and the traffic on the nearby highway was all night long. We paid through Friday night but left Friday morning for some well needed rest at a much quieter campground. The people who worked there were very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was not our best RV experience. There is nice staff, but out of level sites. There was a chain saw art fabricator on the site, so if you like lots of chain saw noise this is the place for you. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground, Camp Club USA and Passport America. We stayed here 4 week days. 50amp, water, sewer, cable tv and Wi-Fi are good. At first I was not sure if I would like this campground or the site I stayed in. The site was #1. The cable is jury rigged at this site and the ones next to it. Many of the sites were shared back to back but each having it's own services. Most sites are very long. I had to use blocks to level side to side but had to drop the front almost to the ground to level. This makes it difficult to raise the front when getting ready to leave. I came to really like site 1. It has a small fence around the door side and gave us a separate area to sit and our dog to lay. I would come here again. 800-892-2714 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stopped in to stay for 2 days and ended up staying 3 weeks. Love this park. They let you use passport for as long as you want, park is clean and very shaded. Will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Passport America rate 19.00. Small older park. Pool is small, also lots of tent sites. Small sites in the area they put us also we was put in with perments no one around. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. For the rate of 19.00 in July its a great deal I guess. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although I was promised a level site months before I arrived I found that my site sloped down so that I could not get the coach level. The gravel interior roads were full of holes. We left within 45 minutes of arrival. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My wife and I were in town for a convention. We were well pleased with this park. Temp got down to 27 degrees, we stayed nice an warm. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Park was well kept and clean. Reasonably priced for the area and not far from everything. Not many sites for big rigs but they fit us in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Too many monthly or annual people here. Kind of run down. Management is not very friendly. There are too many nice campgrounds in the area to waste your time staying at this one. We won't go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We camped here Thanksgiving '05. We loved it. Located just out of the rush. Staff was very freindly. Plenty of room, not stacked in to tight. We will be back here to camp again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked this campground. Everyone was friendly, and it was easy to get into. We had to 3.50 extra for electric each day. The half off price was for Passport America. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a wonderful little secret located in Pigeon Forge. This place was awesome and located out of the way, but short walk down the hill to the trolly, which took you anywhere in Pigeon Forge, but also to the Gatlinburg Welcome Center. There you can jump to another trolly for your Gatlinburg journey. Everything was very clean, staff was extremely nice. A great experience. We found a new place to stay from now on. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first time there. This is the best small campground that we have ever been to. Our site (#1) was fantastic, being on the corner, we had no neighbors on one side. Sites are a little small, but they are very nice, all hook-ups including cable and a cement slab. Bathrooms and showers were impeccable. We did not give a '10' because sites are small and fire ring of the next side was too close to the unit and towing vehicle (we had to close all windows when neighbor made a small fire). Very close to main street, you can even walk. Very quiet and relaxing campground. We will come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is by far my favorite campground! They have immaculate bathrooms and showers. The laundry facilities are very clean also. It is quiet and very family friendly. Nice pool and clean well taken care of grounds. I would recommend this to anyone! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Foothills is a really great place. We camped in their #1 cabin and our daughter and her family camped in the #2 cabin. The grounds are very well kept and the bathhouse extremely clean. Owners are helpful and friendly and a wealth of information on the area. Foothills is very conveniently located and has a trolley stop in the front of the campground. The cabins are well kept and well furnished. Beds are very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again. We spent one week there and can hardly wait to go back. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
This rate is for 30 amp. Extra charge for 50 amp. One block from main street. Quiet and clean. Fire rings. Sites 26 & 27 have decks with a view. We were in a 38'MH and we had to park the car in the next lot. Paved and clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The sites were very small for us as listed as Big Rig Sites. Ours was very narrow and short. The park was clean and well run and seemed secure, but I am not sure I would call the site they assigned us a "big rig" site. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice park, well maintained. Sites are close but not really a problem. Bathroom and showers were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the ducks that strolled through the grounds. Trolley stop is located at the entrance to the campground. We were here for a car show and the staff was very helpful with moving and parking the trailer we used to transport our antique car. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I gave this a 5 cause I was really 50/50 with it. I must agree with the other reviews that discussed the creek access. The owners definitely stretch the whole "creek front" thing, I promise you this. The only really pretty creek front was at the south end and that was really only for small travel trailers and tenters (The creek picture on the website is of this area, don't be fooled). On our site you could barely even see the creek cause of weeds grown up with trees hanging over in it and it was down a steep hill. This creek was no where near as pretty as the one that flows through Townsend by any means. I didn't have any issues with the people at check-in like others said (maybe they do read this stuff). My major complaint and I mean major was with the design of the electric boxes. Instead of being at the back of your RV like normal, the electric box was near the front of the gravel pad. I wasn't paying attention, and my super slide on that side of my RV almost hit it as I was putting it out. I had to take up my levelers and try and pull forward just enough to barely miss the box. I couldn't go backwards cause I would have hit the trees. The nose of my RV was almost in the road but, that was all I could do. I must have backed up and went forward no kidding for 30 minutes trying to miss the box and get close enough to the patio, it was that bad. Nothing else was available as my favorite place in Townsend was full due to the Labor Day holiday. There was also really no room between our RV and our neighbors, although they were super friendly and that was definitely a plus. The place is really clean and the pool was great, I swam twice in it and met some other nice people. The elder, tattoos, leather-skinned ,bikini clad woman, I could have done with out though, ha ha, but other than that it was really good. Would I stay here again? Yeah possibly, but, I am seriously sold on how pretty Townsend is and want to go back there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice campground. We stayed for two weeks and couldn't say enough good things about it. The grounds were well maintained as well as the bathrooms and showers were very clean. Management was a little snooty, but they didn't let anything improper go on for very long without putting a stop to it. I will definitely return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice campground. Sites are not spacious, but we found ours to be very level. We where in the very back of the campground with a field behind us. Family campground. Pool very nice. Playground for the kids. Laundry clean. Showers and bathhouse clean and water hot. There was also a stream that runs along one side of the campground that you could walk along. Mother and baby ducks walked down the road everyday from the stream. This campground is off the tourist road and very quiet but crowded. There are trolley stops nearby, but I would not pick this campground if that is what you are planning to use. That was what are original plan was but it was better to drive than wait for it to come by the campground. Near Dollywood and about 40 minutes depending on traffic from Smoky National Park and many other attractions in the area. We camped here 4 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Had it not been for the fact that we had a site on the "stream", we would have turned around and left upon arrival. When we called to book our sites, we were told that you can go tubing in the "stream", but as we soon found out, the water was barely moving. To get to the restrooms you had to walk across a neighbors site because there were no pathways and there was no parking area either for the restrooms or the laundry room. The sites are very small and we camped in a pop up. The staff was purely business, not overly friendly. The one good thing that I will say is that the restrooms were the best I have ever seen in a campground and the lady that maintains them should be commended! The next time we are in the Pigeon Forge area, we will stay elsewhere. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Biggest issue was the attitude of the management which was noted by several guests. Site for a 40 foot MH was a 90 degree turn in with untrimmed trees right on the corner and patio at the other corner which damaged my roof. The site was crushed rock and small concrete patio at the back of the site. We will never return. This is my worst rating ever given a campround due to the management. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our second stay in this campground. Grounds are very clean and well maintained. The park has paved roads and gravel sites with a concrete patio. Sites are small but large enough for the larger RV's. We will probably use this campground again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very clean park that seems to be one of the newer parks in the area. Close to all attractions in Pigeon Forge. The cable on our site was not working when we arrived but was fixed early the next morning. One negative is that the sites are very narrow. Positives include concrete patio, clean gravel to park on and neetly maintained grassy areas. We would stay here again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great park. We stay here every year in the fall. They have friendly staff members. They also have music some nights. We love it here!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
I cannot say enough good things about this RV park. The restrooms are the cleanest I have ever seen and the people who run the park are very nice. The park is so quiet and peaceful and yet you are less than five minutes from Pigeon Forge. Quiet hours are strictly enforced and the park is patrolled by security on a regular basis. The only reason I did not give this park a 10 is because the sites are extremely close together and it can be difficult to pull your RV into the sites. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Upon arrival we were told to go to site 138. Had to pull back to office when this site was still occupied. Told to go to site 148. Both of these are pull through sites. Had to move a picnic table and literally jack-knife the trailer to get in. Still wouldn't have made it except the people across the road from us were not home which gave us a little extra turning room. Definitely not a big rig friendly campground although several were here. Sites are so close together that when you let your slides out they almost touch your neighbors awning. Overall a clean campground with friendly staff but we will look elsewhere next time. We pull a 38 foot 5th wheel with a long bed crew cab dually. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Clean, quiet (except for the frogs) park with level sites and very clean. The sites are very close together with almost no grass or trees except along the dog walk by the creek and in the tent area; we suggest a creekside site to get shade on you backside. Fire rings and grills were rusted out and the lower bath house was still closed for the season making for a long walk to the upper bath house. Off-strip location but close to everything on the North end of town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I must take exception to one review of this park. It does have a swimming pool and a playground. The sites are about average in size. This is a fairly new campground and is very well kept up. The creek sites are not really on the creek but down a pretty steep hill but there is a trail down to the creek. The trolly does come by the campground and it is not that far to walk thru the campground to the road where the trolly stops. We were there for Thanksgiving 2004 and the rate was $22 per night. It is about one mile from "the strip" in Pigeon Forge and is a quiet campground. If you want a fire they will bring you a fire ring if one is not already on your site. We will be going back again this Thanksgiving. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We did not find it to be as advertised with creekside sites, shade etc. Sites were cramped, but park is very clean and was full of bus RV's. We never saw anyone walking about etc..., but a/c running in the bus rv's. Our spot was on concrete and there was no shade, so we had to run air conditioner 24/7. Park is about 2-3 miles off main drag and you had to walk to highway to catch the trolleys. We noticed that the trolleys went inside of other campgrounds on the route, and trolley driver told us that campground owners pay the trolleys to come into the campgrounds. This one didn't, so be prepared for a lot of walking. I don't recall seeing a pool or arcade or anything for the kids and they barely had enough room to set up a badminton net and play a little. Did not seem to be family oriented, but a true Class A big bus RV place to park and stay inside. We would not stay there again as it was very boring! This is not what camping out means to us! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The cleanest campground I have ever visited. Bathrooms were spotless. Only disappointment was with the description of our site not matching what we actually got. We asked for and received what they called a "Creekside" site. Creek turned out to be down an steep embankment that was covered with trees. Could not see or get to creek from camper. We could walk down a small trail to the other end of the campground where the creek was accessible. But I had in my mind that I was going to be right on it and that was very disappointing. I would still recommend
the "Creekside" sites because they are the only sites with shade. Not much in the way of trees through the rest of the grounds. Very quiet and peaceful. And
again, the cleanest campground I have ever visited. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Overall a very nice campground. The sites are gravel with a concrete patio. The grounds are well kept and the staff is friendly. The reason we did not give it a higher rating is the lack of shade and the close proximity to your neighbors. The other reason for a lower rating is the trolley stop. Although there is a stop at the entrance to the park, there is no shade or seat to make the wait more comfortable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We enjoyed our stay at this campground. This was our firts time at a RV park in this area and we got lucky to have picked this one. Most sites were not shaded but if you get one along the outer rim you should find some good shade. Along the creek sites are shaded from about 3pm until sundown which was very nice. The staff was friendly in the office. One worker politely accused my dog of making a mess he had to clean up. I guess he thought all dogs and owners are the same. This was the only bad thing that happened. The bath houses and laundry are very clean. The park grounds are very well kept. The sites are spaced very well. Plenty of room you put your awning all the way out, unlike other parks in this area that we checked out. We will definately be back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Newest park in area, very clean and friendly, on trolley route. We camped here in a camper.
I am not so sure what the other reviewers were looking for but we thought this was a very nice place. It was quiet with nice sites. We had no trouble with our awning not being able to open. We also didn't see any sites where we would not be able to open our awning. There are some sites on a hill but the sites themselves were level. It was tucked away a short distance off the main road and that was very nice. The bathrooms were clean and the pool was nice and clean. All of the folks were nice. This was a timeshare campground so a lot of regulars were there. Our site was one of the ones between the country road and the entrance and we had no problem with our three small boys wandering off. So overall we really liked it and would definitely visit here again. They also have a brand new really nice playground! We thought the place was kept up nicely. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Came under Coast to Coast. Assigned OK campsite, but treated as interloper when I complained and asked to change. Was offered 2 terrible sites as alternates. Kept the assigned spot. Restroom & shower only OK. Nice pool. Very small site. Could not get reception on Dish Network but I was at the bottom of the hill between the entrance drive and the county road - glad I didn't have small children. Water was muddy off and on all week. Campfires only allowed in raised fire pits. Mostly quiet & pleasant. Trolley pickup and drop off every 15 minutes is good option. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were looking to stay, but with a drive-thru in our tow vehicle without the TT, we decided this was not the place for us. The campground is old and not had a lot of upkeep done to it. There are many campers that seemed to have been parked there for decades with no upkeep. We just kept driving. Don't think I would ever stay there, unless it was a have to case. They may be the friendliest people, but the place just looked derelict. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Depending on which site you get, forget putting your awning out since the sites are terraced and there are trees. The interior roads are paved but steep. There are also cottages to rent. The trolley comes through the park to pick you up, and takes you to the trolley station where you can either tour Pigeon Forge or go into Dollywood. The laundry is old but clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Good interior roads. Staff very friendly we paid coast-to-coast plus extra for cable and there is a charge for electric but still was a good price . The trolley stops here We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Our site was cut into a slope, and too narrow to open the awning, but this seems to be the exception. Campfires are only allowed in above ground fire "pits" -- bring your own. Far enough off the main drag to be relatively quiet, and actually had openings over Thanksgiving weekend, though overpriced, in my opinion. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice, quiet park just two minutes off the main parkway. The shuttle stops at the park so you can explore Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg shops and restaurants. Bath house and pool are clean and well maintained. Sites are mostly on the hill, and kind of close together, but full hook-up. We camped as Coast-to-Coast members, and this was quite a good value. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The rate is for a 30 amp pull through. We have stayed here many times before and always liked it here. The only "complaints" are sites are very close and shower and toilet share the same rooms. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were most disappointed with this campground. Since we didn’t have reservations, we took what was available – premium site (concrete pad, patio furniture, cable TV, fire pit). All back-in premium sites abut bath house. In front of our site were rented cabins which do not have bathrooms. Consequently, people would constantly cut right through our site all day and night. We asked the office to put up signs telling people to walk around and not cut through sites. Their response was that it was our responsibility to tell them to walk around and not to cut through sites. If you’re paying premium rates, it’s the campground’s responsibility, not the camper’s. In addition, nobody guides you to your site. Many campers kept going in circles trying to locate their site. We would never stay here again. You don’t get the bang for the buck. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The draw for this campground is its location. However, there were several issues during our stay there and also a few changes that could be made to improve the campground. The wifi did not work the three nights we were there. If you were fortunate enough to get online, you were immediately disconnected. Most of the time you could not get past the log in page. Two calls were made to the office. They were unconcerned. The second time we called we were advised that "maybe" they would upgrade the internet when they were closed for the season. For some people, wifi is not an issue. Due to work and college classes, wifi is a must for us. Also, while the hot tub was hot, there were no bubbles for the duration of our stay. The bathhouse closest to us was dirty and smelled. The cable tv worked well. It would also help if they knew/considered the limitations of certain sites (i.e. trees) and took that into consideration when booking sites. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We just returned from a week long vacation at the KOA Pigeon Forge and we loved it. It's close to the main strip, Dollywood, Dixie Stampede and The Old Mill. There is a city park that borders the campground and you can walk across the park from The Old Mill area. The campground has a playground that was a big hit with my 6 year old and 4 year old. They also offered a day camp weekday mornings. The pool is small, but average size for the area. The sights were on the small side, but for the campgrounds in the area they were on the larger side. We drove through four campgrounds in the area before stopping at the KOA. The sites are grassy as opposed to mostly gravel at the other area campgrounds. Staff was friendly and helpful. Dollywood is only one stop away on the trolley and KOA was offering a special rate on tickets while we were there that was not available online. Lastly, the street that the KOA is on connects with Teaster which is the road that parallels the main street in Pigeon Forge, so you can go all the way to the other end of the strip without traffic and with a lot less lights and then come out right where you needed to be. Easy! FYI, the rate was $47 S-Th, but raised to $57 for F-Sat that's for a full hook-up, back-in. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We had a wonderful experience here at the Pigeon Forge KOA over spring break this year and can't wait to go back. The campground is spacious and very well maintained. The staff are friendly. The scenery is gorgeous. You are right next to all of the attractions in Pigeon Forge, yet the setting is quiet and serene (we were surprised after pulling in from the busy main drag). There is a river that separates the campground from the town proper. The campground is right next to a park, shops, and the very cheap (25 cents I believe) shuttle that will take you anywhere in town, down to Gatlinburg, or over to Dollywood. Dollywood tickets were sold at the campground at a great discount. The bathrooms were large and clean. We stayed in a cabin, which was heated and very comfortable. The RV sites looked lovely. The playground was nice and there were lots of kids riding around happily on bikes around the beautiful lanes of the campground. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Pigeon Forge KOA. Enjoy your stay! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
We got stuck in traffic during Columbus Day weekend and it was very late. This campground was the only one that had a few spots left. I paid the price posted at the night registration. Cheapest was $40 for no hookups. A pull-through was $80. I had no choice but to stay. They have everyone jammed in very tight with no room between sites. There was a smelly dumpster right across the road from us, and about a dozen other sites. When I went up the next morning they tried tell me there were special rates for fall and tried to charge me more than the posted price which I refused. I will complain to the Better Business Bureau later. Tax is 11.75 percent in Pigeon Forge. The dump station was located just behind the office on the way to the campground: as you pulled into the campground it was next to the pet and children's play areas. It was an open grate with toilet paper hanging all over the grate. You pull up over the grate and dump on top of it. I wonder why the health department lets them do that. Especially with the children's play area close to it. WiFi is misleading, It is available but you have to register with a third party , separate from the campground, after you log on with their user name and password. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park location is great, walking distance to the main street of Pigeon Forge. The camp is clean and nice. The price is very high. The sites long but very narrow, you are almost on your neighbor site and its hard to open the slide out. I was on a pull throw site that was very long, so I could park my car and my motorcycles on it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Well maintained and clean park. Average size sites for area. Somewhat tight maneuvering through campground and into sites. In a good location in the middle of Pigeon Forge. Not as many amenities as some other KOAs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very friendly staff. Nice camp store. Lots were a bit small, screaming kids next door was not relaxing but not the park's fault. Has bus pick-up at entrance for Dollywood, quick 3-5 minute drive, bus also goes to shopping area. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family took-off on a spontaneous weekend trip. Before we left I called to make the reservation, and the lady seemed like I was bothering her. She never asked if I wanted a paved spot so I assumed we were getting one because I wanted a full hook-up site. When we got there I had to go back out to get both tags numbers...it would've been nice to know they needed that information beforehand. The sites are narrow, and we had to hold our breath going into it. The campground was clean with a nice playground and basketball court for kids as well as a quiet location right on the river to watch the mallards. When we left we were fortunate that our neighbors two sites down were nice enough to move their truck so we could pull out. (That's right--two sites down!) We again held our breath trying to get out of there because the turns were tight. Very nice if you want a quick off-season trip, but I wouldn't go during peak season as the road getting in and out is extremely busy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground is nice, clean well taken care of. The sites are EXTREMELY close and hard to manuver around. This is KOA was setup so that campers are very close to each other. While the sites are pull-thru, you CANNOT pull-thru the $50 sites without unhooking. It is impossible to make the turns and weave your way through two other sites. The higher end sites ($80/night) are a traditional pull-thru that dont require an un-hook. We stayed here one-night as we were passing through the area. Having to un-hook to park, is what caused me to deduct 1 rating from the score. Dense sites took 2 points off. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very rude office staff, acted like it really annoyed them to check you in, or give you a refund. We spent one night there because they refused to give us a refund of $50.00, because we had made a reservation. But when we called we asked about the refund policy and was told if we didn't like the site with in a hour we would get a refund of our money. The site, 13, they put us on was very unlevel. Front step of MH was about 2 feet off the ground and still could not get it level. They moved us to site 10 that was right on the road to Dollywood. Site 12 is also very unlevel. The MH on that site, the front step was way up in the air. The hot tub was nice but closes at 7:30 so we didn't get to stay in long. We had booked for 4 days but the next morning at 10:30, we went in the office to get a refund for the balance of 3 days. Check out is 11:00, and they said we had to be off site before they could refund our money. We were ready to go so we had to back out of the site cause there was no way to turn the MH around from site 10. Then go back into the office to get our money.The Wifi service was very bad kept cutting off and very low signal.There are parks just as nice, if not nicer, a lot cheaper in the area. I will never go back to this campground, and the dog walk is a joke, if you have a large dog he will fill up the fenced in area they have for a dog walk. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is nicely located in town and next to a local park which makes for a good walk or bike ride. The park is also located next to the town's tram depot which is very convenient. We were put into a water & electric only site which was mainly dominated by tent campers, but no one seemed to mind. The pool was nice but is right next to a very busy road which seemed to be a distraction. The camp store was not well stocked and staff seemed preoccupied. We would probably stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Busy campground behind the Pigeon Forge "strip". Sites facing each other so no privacy on your (concrete) porch. The few trees made It look like a town Instead of a campground. Maybe a great place to visit If you want to go to Dollywood but no "back to nature" experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Overall this campground is clean, but small. Some sites are located right next to the main road to Dollywood. This is not so great if you have little children. When I checked in I was asking some questions about the campground to the young woman at the desk. She seemed very annoyed and told me everything I need to know is in the flyer she gave me. Just what I wanted to hear after a 10 hour drive. I would have scored it a little higher if the woman in the office cared about the campers and their questions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall, this was a good park. The roads are paved, as are a small number of the sites. It appears the back-in sites have a little more room than the pull through sites, because of the configuration of the pull through spots. The restrooms were a bit out of date, but they were clean. We had a very good WiFi signal even back at the rear of the park. It is about a quarter mile walk to the main Trolley terminal at Patriot Park. From there you can take the trolley system to any point in the town. You can also pick up the trolley at the campground entrance, but we found it easier to just walk to the main terminal. Cable TV feed was good with at least 60 channels. Most sites appear to have a patio, fire ring, picnic table, and a small grill. We didn't use the pool, but it looked clean. There is also a pool-side jacuzzi. It did rain a bit one night. There was no standing water to speak of the next day. There didn't appear to be any "activities" going on at the park, but that is to be expected as most campers are here to do the tourist things in town. We would use this park again based on our experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice enough, but nothing spectacular for the price. The sites are a little close, but that could be said for just about all parks in this area. Nice pool and playground for the kids. Close to Dollywood, the Old Mill and Patriot Park. Our site was level, but not all of the sites are so you might want to ask if you don't have auto levelers. No real complaints, but there are parks just as good or better for less money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in May after our family beach trip was canceled. Great place! Staff friendly and very helpful. Sites fairly wide, well maintained, and clean. Game room, playground, hot tub, and heated pool in spring made it a very enjoyable stay. Paved roads enabled the little one to ride his bike safely. Only one bad item our wifi did not work for most of the week. Very quiet until the weekend. Expect very high traffic, some noise and every site filled. Close to everything. Great walking trails and Patriot Park next door. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The site was small and very hard to maneuver in getting our 38.5' fifth wheel into the site. Each site faces the neighboring site, so when you step out in the morning your greeted by your neighbor in a facing site. The water spigot for both our site and out neighboring site was "under" our slide. Between slides of our and the neighbors, it wasn't more than 1 foot. Concrete pull through and back in sites were larger but left vacant and never offered at the office. Lady in the office didn't seem to care either way if we liked it or not. I took pictures of the "close" quarters if anyone is interested. Very dissatisfied with Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg KOA! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This campground is perfect. It is spotless, and maintainence is always working. The pool was heated, and open it was wonderful. The entire park is paved, the sites are paved, with concrete patios, and patio furniture, plus a fire ring and a fireplace, its quiet, incredible. Staff was very helpful, and friendly. Would highly recommend this campground, and it is close to everything. Awesome! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fairly standard fare for a KOA. Perhaps a bit nicer than we expected, due to the 'tourist' flavor of Pigeon Forge. We expected small sites, but they were reasonably large. However, staff seemed a bit too businesslike, and the "pets welcome" seemed like they were welcome simply to fulfill the KOA requirement, rather than being truly welcome. Our site, was quite nice, reasonably large as stated above, and overlooked the park next door. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We frequently visit the Pigeon Forge KOA and have had nothing but good experiences every time that we visit. The staff is friendly and eager to assist us with special requests. The grounds and facilities are very well maintained. The restrooms and showers are the cleanest that we have seen of all of the campgrounds we have visited. We will definitely continue to return to the Pigeon Forge KOA! The deluxe pull through sites are wonderful with added amenities such as a home like patio set of furniture, large concrete pads, chimneas, and a lamp post. It tends to be a little pricey but well worth the convenience and what you get for the money. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I thought the price was way too high. The sites were shady, clean, and nice. Pool was nice and well-kept, and it was in a great location. We would stay there again but want to try someplace new next time. A nice place but I still thought it was too high and we saw some campgrounds while we were there that were priced considerably less and just as nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We didn't have a problem with the park or the facilities, however, the office people were just plain rude and unresponsive. We arrived for a long weekend on a Thursday evening. Assigned a sight that was very wet and unlevel. They claimed to be full but had a number of sites that went unused all weekend and refused to let us move. Additionally, closed the store 30-40 minutes early each night. Even locked the door on me as I was walking up to buy ice one night 30 minutes before they were supposed to close. A letter and an additional e-mail to KOA went without a response from corporate or the park. The only KOA I'll stay at in the future is in Nashville where the people are great. Other than that, I'll dry camp. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice park, easy access to town and Dollywood. Level sites. But we thought expensive. Nice river next to the park (one reason for choosing this park) but health department sign said not to get in it due to bacteria problems. Stalls in the main bathhouse were too small. Bathroom was clean but the doors to the toilets open into the toilets making it difficult for any walking person to enter easily much less be able to help a handicapped person in. No ADA compliant bathrooms. The shower stalls weren't any better. For healthy 'normal' people who don't want to enjoy the river it's a nice park. One nice thing was that it is directly next to the town's Patriot Park which has a paved walking track around it. Bathrooms don't work for us though. We tried it twice, sorry, not again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
The campground is very nice with paved roads and sites. We camped in a motorhome backed up to the stream. Staff is very friendly. The rate was a Good Sam discount price, although extra is charged for 50 amp. There were two problems we encountered: 1) Even though there is a rule that all dogs must be leashed, we saw at least one or more large dogs unleashed every day of our stay. No one seemed to be monitoring this situation. 2) At times it was difficult getting on to the highway from Pine Mountain Road even though this was during the off-season time. The access road to Highway 441 is in the middle of Pigeon Forge. We have experienced the extremely heavy traffic in this area during the Summer and Fall months. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate is for Good Sam discount at a stream front site with a travel trailer. This park was awesome! The young lady at the front desk was friendly and knowledgeable. The park was spotless. Roads are black top paved and new, sites were all flat clean concrete. Park would have been a "10" if it had shrubs or trees between the road and the sites on the end to block the lights and sound a little. We stayed at site #41. We would definitely come back to this park with out hesitation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Top notch newer campground. Had nice paved sites with new landscaping. Lots of Class A’s, staff was pleasant and professional; restrooms were very clean and modern. Priced higher than some in the area but, perfect location if you are planning on seeing attractions. (Be sure to save a day to see Dollywood it was much nicer than we expected). Wi-Fi worked great. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very nice RV "resort" type campground. It just opened this season. All paved roads, although a bit narrow, paved sites are wide with nice patio area, picnic table and fire ring. There are nice grass areas between sites with plenty of room between you and your neighbor. The park is meticulously maintained. Pull through sites are a bit short and it would not be possible to leave a toad hooked up to a big rig. Excellent Wi-Fi and cable TV, a great pool with water features for the kids. They are pet friendly with plenty of open areas to walk dogs, we even found a beautiful mowed grass field behind the hotel across the street to play some frisbee with our dog. The location of this park is great: it is 5 minutes to all of the attractions in Pigeon Forge but it is set on a quiet street, away from all of the traffic and noise. It is a bit pricey for the area, but the quiet setting was worth it to us. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What a wonderful campground. The location was great for sightseeing in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlingburg area. The owner was very accommodating when making reservations over the phone as we needed a cabin for relatives. The concrete pad was fairly level and nice. We had a stream-side site and the cabin was one of the nicest we have ever seen. Did not use their wireless. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is wonderful. It is one of the best RV parks that I have stayed at. The park is very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms were always clean, and the tiled showers had private entries and were spotless. I constantly saw staff cleaning the restroom areas. The pool at the park is great. It only goes to about four feet deep, but it has all kinds of sprinkler systems set up and it is just deep enough for both kids and adults to enjoy. Campers can also use the pools (indoor and outdoor) at the hotel across the street which is also very nice, new, and owned by the same people. The park has both back in and pull through sites, but they were all about the same size. Each site has a concrete pad, very level, full hookups, picnic table, and a fire ring. Sites are pretty close together but about average for the area. It is a new park, so there are no trees of any real size to speak of, but the landscaping (trees, shrub, decorative gravel) breaks it up and keeps it from looking like a parking lot. The Wi-Fi worked great, and we had no trouble connecting. This place may be a little more pricey than some in the area, but well worth the price. If you look online, you can probably find a coupon at some of the tourist sites. The creek that runs at the back of the property is nice, but not overly impressive since it is kind of small and shallow. Lots of nice big rigs at the park, and none of them seemed to have trouble getting in and set up. No junkie campers at all and very well lit at night.Overall, this place was great. No real negatives, just suggestions: add a dogie park. There is no playground for children, but we only have furry ones, so it did not bother us. Have a great stay! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of those campgrounds that you want to tell others to stay away from. Not because it was bad, but because it was one of the best campgrounds I have been at in some time. This was the best I have stayed at in Pigeon Forge. So if I tell you that I will not be able to get a reservation in the future. So, do not stay here. We had a creek side site and it was beautiful, well landscaped and large. We have a 36' fifth wheel with a long bed crew cab dually and had no problem parking all on the site with room to spare. I do believe the pull through and back in sites are smaller than the creek side sites. The management was excellent and extremely friendly. Pigeon Forge is our favorite places to visit and we will be back to this campground, hopefully in October and November. It is across the street from a Main Stay Suite hotel which are owned by the same company. You can use the facilities of the Main Stay Suite if you wish, such as the indoor pool. If you want to be a couch potato while there they have around 98 TV channels on cable. 30 and 50 amp service and well placed hookups. Even those this is a NEW campground the landscaping is beautiful. Trees will come years later as they mature, but my air conditioning and awning will suffice until then, so no problem. I cannot say enough good things about this campground. So, do not go here, stay away, you will not like this upscale campground, that is new and beautiful. Wait until the new wears off and it is overrun with tourists to visit. I really wish I could give this a higher rating. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at this resort in our 41 foot Travel Supreme motorhome and it's an absolutely wonderful place to camp. We only stayed for 2 nights, but the grounds were immaculate, the pool was very nice, the office staff caring and very personable. We would definitely go there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at this RV Park five times since January 2009. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This campground is new with paved roads and sites. We like it because you are just blocks from all the attractions in Pigeon Forge, TN however you feel like you are away from it all at this quiet location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just returned home from a 16 day stay at this campground. We have camped in the area 3 times in the last 9 months, and this is our favorite park. The staff is very friendly and helpful and very accommodating. We were originally scheduled for a 14 day stay and had such a great time we wanted to stay through the 4th of July and added the 2 extra nights without a problem. The owner was on sight almost every day. He is extremely picky about the park and makes every effort to provide an enjoyable stay. Bathrooms and shower house are cleaned 2 times a day and are very clean. The grounds crew worked every day that we were there maintaining the look of the park. It is very clean and well cared for. Even though it is a new park and has limited shade, I would highly recommend this park to anyone who plans to visit the area. The location is fantastic, a little bit of "country" in the city and close to all the area attractions. It is the first stop on Trolley route and gives you access to the area without driving. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is tied for the nicest RV park we have ever stayed at. Everything is relatively new and exceptionally well kept. There is very nice grass between sites with plenty of room and nice landscaping. The shower stalls are clean and luxurious (big with very nice ceramic tile). The campground has a very nice pool and you can use the pools (2 outdoor and 1 indoor) and lazy river at the resort across the street. The trolley stops right across the street which is very convenient. We had a spot next to the stream in which the boys enjoyed playing. The only reason I did not rate this campground a 10 is that it does not have a playground. So, it is missing one thing, but everything that is there is exceptionally nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very new "RV Park" so not much shade. All concrete and Asphalt which makes for very level, but hot sites. Very close to downtown attractions. Great "zero" depth pool for kids and access to pools across the street at the hotel (associated with the Park). Very friendly staff. We enjoyed this location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
After much searching and other campgrounds we have previously used being booked tight, we tried Pine Mountain. We could not have been happier. The staff was superb, park immaculate, can't say enough about the bathrooms and showers. The ONLY downfall is the lack of shade and established trees, but the place is new. It is in the middle of Pigeon Forge, and 2 blocks off the parkway. The solitude would let you believe you were miles away. Our 5 Y/O DD fell and busted her lip running around. When the staff in the officer heard her crying they came running. Once they found out she was O.K., they made a big deal over her and brought her into the office and let her pick out a popsicle "on the house". We fought downpours off and on over the weekend and it so nice to have the firerings in a gravel area and paved roads and paved LEVEL pads. This is going to be our campground of choice from now on when we come to Gatlinburg. The hotel across the street has 2 pools, workout room, 2 hot tubs, and a lazy river that are all available for your use since both are owned by the same owners. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Found this fairly new park by accident. Great place, Staff very nice and helpful. Restrooms and showers were great, strong wi-fi, nice kids pool and hot tubs and 2 more pools across street at sister hotel. The only thing about this park is no shade trees yet. Planted but can't rush nature. I think this is where we will be staying when we are in Pigeon Forge. Will be back !!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great park!! Level concrete pads. Paved interior roads.Fire rings for the ones who must burn. Wonderful bath house, with tiled individual showers.Friendly and fast front desk staff. Sister hotel property across the street will allow you to use their lazy river ride and indoor pool. The outdoor pool at the RV resort is clean and the five year old really enjoyed the added water attractions. Trash pick-up from the curb of your site. Shade trees have been planted and landscaping is coming along nicely. They even have some camping supplies in the clubhouse for purchase in case you forgot anything.Resort on the Trolley route. WIFI worked great.Cable worked great. Nice quiet atmosphere. We stayed toward the back away from any possible road noise. This is our second stay and it was nicer than the first. The "barking dog" problem at the residential area behind the resort has quieted down. This is our place of choice for the Pigeon Forge area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is one of the nicest in the area. It is fairly new and is well maintained. The Mainstay Suites across the road is owned by the same people so you can also use the facilities over there if you want. The pool is very nice, the sites are level and concrete with great fire-rings. The bathrooms were spotless! The roads are paved. The trolley comes by if you want to ride instead of drive to Pigeon Forge attractions and Gatlinburg. Truly one of the nicest campgrounds we've ever stayed in! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We felt this was a wonderful park. It is newer, so the planted trees need more growth. Everything else was great; beautiful clean bathrooms, good holiday weekend entertainment and so nice to have the Trolley right there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A very beautiful park that is professionally run. Staff goes out of the way to make you feel welcomed. Did not need a towed vehicle as the trolley stop was in the front of the gate and took you anywhere in the vicinity. Very spacious lots and very clean and maintained. Would recommend this location and will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed at this park twice since it opened last year and have reservations again next month. It is a very neat, well kept park. Close to attractions, yet quiet. The sites are paved and level. This is our favorite park in the Pigeon Forge area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very well managed park!! All around it scored very high marks. It is a newly constructed park so tree growth/shade and some grassy areas are yet to develop, but will be absolutely wonderful in years to come. Reasons for not getting a 10 were; sewer hookup was over 15 feet away which required a purchase of an extension, the camp store is primitive with selections of items, otherwise an excellent campground! Met the owners as we were leaving and they were very informative and pleasant to talk to as well. Based on other campgrounds in the immediate area we would not consider any other. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is great because it is off the "Parkway" (main road through Pigeon Forge) so you aren't bothered by the constant traffic noise yet they have a trolley stop if you need to use the local transportation and do not have a car or want to drive your car. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have a great pool for the warm summer months and right across the small street is a hotel that has both an indoor pool that is heated which is great for the winter months that can be used anytime for free and outdoor pools. The hotel indoor pool was open until midnight and it also has a nice jacuzzi indoors. Outside at the hotel they have a lazy river pool and swim pool for warmer months. The campground is pretty sterile with paved pads and not a lot of trees. The surrounding area is nice to look at and there is a creek but it is small and not wooded or anything. If you like a clean, new park, this is it. Since we went there to take in the different attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and it was still cold, it was a perfect location and terrific with the indoor pool for the kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a new campground and is very nice. I was impressed with the size and levelness of the sites - very easy to back into. The roads in the campground were also wide enough to make for easy maneuvering. I highly recommend this campsite to stay at. It is conveniently located and the trolley comes and to the front gate to take you into Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great campground. The staff was fabulous, courteous and could not do enough for you. The sites were concrete and paved with as much room as any campground I have seen in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. The showers are individual showers that open to the outside, but are heated. They were very clean as were the bathrooms. The pool in the campground is quite cute and they cleaned it everyday even though it was Thanksgiving and 25 degrees at night. The pool and hot tub at the motel across the street, which we had access too was clean, nice and warm. My only complaint and the reason it got a 9 instead of a 10 was a dog across the street at a residence that barked incessantly from daylight until late in the evenings, around 10 pm. I guess the owners returned home then. I did mention this to the campground clerk that was on duty when we left. She said that she would make sure the campground owner knew about my complaint and others had also complained. Otherwise, this is a wonderful campground, especially when the landscaping gets more mature. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great place! The staff was friendly, and they told us right away we could use the indoor pool across the street in the hotel which is affiliated with them. Sites are very clean and well laid out and level. WI-FI works great. We will return here for sure. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great campground with huge sites that were level and had concrete pads. Paved interior roads were great for the bikes. Clubhouse with laundry is attached to swimming pool. The Wifi worked great. Some units may require extra sewer hose. All hookups at the very back of each site. We saw some big rigs that did not have an adequate amount. We used the Indoor pool next door at the "sister" hotel. We read that we could do this in prior reviews. The front desk personnel did not volunteer any information until asked. Trash pick-up is provided each morning. There are just a couple of things to add to reach the elite 10/10 mark. A playground for kids, a dog walk, basketball goal, and some planned activities during the peak stay times would be my picks. They are doing an excellent job for a just opened resort. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I wish that I could give this park 100! Seriously, it was wonderful. New, not overgrown and had a resort feel. It is very quiet, even though it is just 2 blocks off of the parkway. I can not think of one thing that wasn't perfect. Pigeon Forge was bumper to bumper and this was a sanctuary around mass chaos. We will be back for sure and soon! Loved, loved, loved this little place. We stayed and traveled to Knoxville for a ball game, very short drive on 441. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a new campground. It is great. Have stayed here twice since it opened. It is central to everything in Pigeon Forge/Smokies. Excellent sites. Cannot find anything bad. Will try to stay here each time we visit the area. Has "sister"motel across the street for non camping family or friends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean nice park. Would have rated this park a 10 if the it was not so expensive. There were very few people here during our stay while other parks in the area were busy. We enjoy walking in the evenings and looking at the nice rigs and people from all over. You meet the nicest people that way. They should lower the rates and get people in. All these empty sites is revenue not received that is difficult make up. Many RV parks in the area don't offer monthly rates but Pine Mountain does, so that was a plus. We would stay here again depending on rates at that time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Brand new park. Found it by internet search for "new campgrounds" in Pigeon Forge area. A little pricey (price for 2 adults and 1 teenager), but worth the clean concrete pads. Sites are adequately spaced except the fire rings at some sites need to be moved. I'm glad no one decided to use the one behind my camper--I was afraid we would go up in smoke!! The sewer connector needs to be dropped a couple of inches--we had to back up in order to dump our tanks. Also bring a good 15-20foot sewer hose. The sewer connector is at the end of the concrete pads. Never used the pool across the street at the motel--will have to try it next time. The small kiddie pool was nice for the kids and it stayed busy!! Will definitely go back--this place will be hard to get reservations in the future--Would give it a 10 except for the fire ring and sewer connect problems. Also close to attractions and the trolley. Will definitely go back!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a new RV park and will have shade in a few years after the trees mature. Campsites range in price from $38.00 and up. All pads are concrete and are very large. The owners are great to deal with and own hotel across street. This gives you the opportunity to take time out in the swimming pools and hot tubs in hotel. Sewer hook up is not in a good location so make sure you bring at least 20' of hose. There is no children's playground as of yet, but I have been told that one is possibly coming. Great location to shopping and a trolley stop is across the street at hotel. Some views are better than others in campground, but whole campground can be seen from any site. There are no permanent sites available at this time. Garbage pick up is in the am at each site. Leave trash by road. All in all this is a good campground, but keep in mind that they charge extra per person and child after the first two adults. This may discourage some family camping with families that have children. After age six a fee is added. Also, per campground rules you are not suppose to have clothesline hanging so this can be a problem after visiting the pools or local water parks. Quiet time is 11pm. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was our second time to stay at this campground. We have stayed at two or three others in the Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge area: this is the nicest we've seen overall. Very nice campground and the staff is great. We'll be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We arrived without reservations, and were very pleased. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got a back-in site on the river, which was paved and partially shaded. The sites were easy to manage and well laid out. The roads were a little confusing. They are one-way and not clearly marked to lead you through the mobile-home area, and getting in and out of the campground. The whole campground and the permanant area is clean, neat and attractive. We will stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is great. The price is reasonable & the staff are great. There is an abundance of wildlife; ducks,squirrels, coons, fish & muskrats. The spaces are a little tight but OK. The sites are mostly paved with numerous sites on the river with lots of shade. You can build you own camp fire. Very nice. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a SPACIOUS, Christian based campground that was very easy to get in and out of and was close to everything! I would defiantly stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped here over Easter weekend. The staff was great! The sites were paved and level, several pull-throughs. The campground is conveniently located within Pigeon Forge but far enough off the parkway so that you don't hear the road noise. This is a great campground to stay at in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here in August. Nice park and very convenient to Pigeon Forge activities. Our only concern was the entrance into this park. It's in a very sharp curve, with a blind spot. It would be helpful if the park or the county, would put up a mirror so you could see oncoming traffic, or at least a big warning sign - we almost got hit turning in once! Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed 5 nights in August. Not crowded at all good utilities, good set up, a lot of shaded sites, no road noise, concrete pads most sites, easy to back into, good location to everything, beautiful stream deep enough for kayaks and tubing, lots of fish and ducks. Ice and newspaper on site, good Wi-Fi and cable. Owners obviously take a lot of pride in their site and are very nice. One small drawback the band practiced from noon until evening for a youth service (only 1 day) and the music got a little irritating after 5 hours. Will stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Love this park, we have two more trips planned there this year! Level spots, plenty of water pressure, WI-FI works great, no problems with cable or power. Concrete pads with easy access. It is about 2 blocks from the main drag but far enough away to be quiet and out of the hustle and bustle. You can walk to the main drag to catch the trolley and go anywhere in Pigeon Forge, or even transfer to another trolley and go to Gatlinburg. Owner was seen constantly checking out everything to ensure everyone was having a good, safe time. Highly recommend this one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stayed at this CG on a recommendation from a friend. This is a nice, clean campground with good amenities. Clean bathhouse and laundromat with cold drinks and ice machines on site. Our site was roomy and many are shaded. We will stay here again on our next trip to Pigeon Forge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
For the most part, a well maintained campground. Restrooms and showers were only fairly clean and construction (particle board walls and ceiling) not the best for a shower house. Most of the sites with concrete pads were nice but small. The gravel sites were all extremely small and you had to be careful how you parked to be sure you had room for your awning if the camper next door had a slide. Very convenient location and friendly staff. No pool or other activities but a good place to stay if you want to shop or see the sites in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We liked this park and will be back. The office staff was friendly. They have no supply store but WalMart is about 2 miles away. Our fellow campers were nice and the park was very quiet. Wish the park had a pool, but the area had so much to do that the kids didn't notice. Only bad thing was the lack of a designated pet walk. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice,clean campground. Close to parkway but was very quiet. It has concrete, very level pads and patios. All the roads are paved. The river is wide,fast moving and clean. They have church services on Sunday AM. Have camped at most of the campgrounds in the area but will continue to camp at Riverbend. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park is located at turn signal #1 area. The park is off US 441 about a mile and very quiet. All of the sites are cement with full hookups on each site. I will stay here many more times. Close to everything and still quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our first stay at a campground. We were so impressed! First off, the grounds are very, very clean. The pool area is well maintained. The staff is excellent. Everyone was friendly and the park felt like home. It had a very safe feel to it. The sites themselves were all level and had more than enough room for sitting, eating, games or anything else you wanted to do. Located near all activities and attractions. Can't wait to return!! We camped here in a Motorhome.
Pros: clean site, nice pool and kids pool. New spa by the pool and playground. Located right off the main drag in Pigeon Forge and right outside the entrance to the park. Full hook ups and level gravel sites. Cons: site are very close (which seems to be the norm for the area). A road runs right through the campground. Our site was on this road and proved to be a problem since we had a toddler. Vehicles from other campsites made it a challenge to back in. Wi-Fi was very choppy and dropped connection several times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was very nice. The bathrooms were the best of any campground I have ever been to. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The sites are a little too close together and we didn't have a fire ring. I was there along with 2 other friends in their campers and none of us had a fire ring. That was the only down fall, no roasted marshmellows. Had lots of fun and will return in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had time for only one night here. Paved interior roads and gravel sites. After reading the wonderful reviews we were expecting more. Sites are packed pretty tightly together, as is everything in this area. In our area back in sites are angled for a "herring bone" type pattern. While eating our dinner a large motorhome was backing in to an adjacent site and backed right into the corner of my awning. Bath house was wonderful as described in previous reviews. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful at check in and at other times for information. Campground is on trolley line, but for Pigeon Forge only. We wanted to go to Gatlinburg and had to make two trolley transfers to get there. In general we enjoyed the campground and it is extremely convenient location. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at Riveredge this past spring. This is an attractive campground. It is very convenient for all the activities of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. The sites are somewhat close together at Riveredge. We had a site beside the river which was a nice place to be. The outstanding feature of River Edge was the bathrooms. They were on a different level from any we have ever found at a campground. They were spotless. The tile floors and wooden doors on the private shower stalls are more what you would expect at the Ritz Carlton than a campground. We will be back to River Edge any time we are in the Sevier County area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Riveredge RV Park is our favorite campground in the Sevier County area. It is convenient to all the Smoky Mountain attractions. The family that owns the campground welcomes their campers. The most amazing thing about Riveredge RV Park is the bathrooms. The granite countertops and private showers are what you would expect in a five star hotel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It has excellent sites close to all shopping etc. Location is in the central portion of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Expect traffic and congestion. A good stop with a tow vehicle for access to national park. We would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here because we have some friends that come every year, now we see why. We had ample room on each side of our camper with the slides out. The campers on the row behind us were pretty close, but it didn't cause us any problems. The roads are paved which was great for bike riding. The bath house was very clean with piped in music and nature sounds which I thought was nice, they were very clean although the shower that I used could have been cleaner. The campground is convenient to all the attractions and outlet malls. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful campground. Super clean bath houses. Lots of shade on paved level sites. Only problem we had was really loud road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We booked our 2 night reservation in advance. My deposit hold was $50.00. We were able to pick our site at the time of our advance booking. We knew we wanted to be by the pool, restrooms and trolley stop. We were at site 33. I found this to be prime real estate at this park. We hit the pool right away. It was packed. My 2-year-old got hit in the head w/a water ball being thrown the length of the pool. Then I was hit in the head as well. Oh joy! Needless to say the pool is pretty small for the size of the RV Park. We found the bathroom facilities to be spa-like. What a pleasant surprise! The 2nd morning we walked to a pancake house for breakfast. After walking back to the RV Park we hopped on the trolley and didn't return until dinnertime. We knew we would be out on the town for most of our time at Riveredge. We did get to visit the arcade and also did up our wash in their laundry room. The dryers are top notch drying at lightning speed! We also enjoyed the novelty of ordering a pizza to our campsite. There are several to chose from in the area. There aren't campfire rings but you can set up a campfire on the gravel section of your lot. That's what we did. It was cleaned up by the staff the next morning. The garbage dumpster is right by the restroom which we were situated right next to, a nice convenience. This is a nice park to stay at if you are in the area to see the sights and chat up your fellow campers. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The only redeeming feature to this campground is it's close to the Great Smoky National Park, Dollywood and Gatlinburg and all the related commercial tourist stuff. Otherwise, it's a pretty dismal place to camp, at least when we were there. While it is on a small river, very small. The river, and the campground, is right on route 441, which is really a highway and the main "strip", so there is constant traffic noise. Most sites are very small and tightly packed in. Our site was right on the main road going through the campground. We were so close to neighbors we could not extend our awning, and our sewer connection was literally under the neighbors picnic table. Behind us, we were no more than 3 feet from two campers. By far the most crowded, overly "stuffed in" campground we have ever stayed at. Barely enough room to park our car in front of our coach to get it off the road. Many others, especially fifth wheelers, had to park their truck partially in the road. It seemed this campground was going way over the top as far as trying to squeeze every possible nickel out of space rental. They left no space unused, even parking rigs on the front lawn of a house on the property. Really bizarre. No place to walk the dog, but there was a small grassy area just outside the campground that we could at least walk him around so he could do his business. We will never camp here again, that's for sure! But, I guess there are a lot of people who like this kind of camping as the place was totally full, as were all the campgrounds nearby this time of year. October is one of the busiest months in this area. People coming out for fall foliage. We actually found the Blue Ridge Parkway to be way nicer and much better fall colors than the Great Smoky Park. And MUCH less crowded! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This RV park was very family friendly, but we felt packed in like sardines. We had a site right on the river, but just through the trees, you can see the main road and hear traffic noise. The staff were very friendly and the bathrooms were very nice and modern. Everything was well kept. I also wished for trash receptacles that were placed closer to sites instead of having to walk all the way to the restrooms to get rid of trash. Overall, a very well kept park, but I wished for more space and a more "scenic" setting. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We just stopped here on our way to Washington DC. I should have read these reviews a little closer I guess. The sites are extremely close together, and parking is very close quarters to the roads. We are in a 31' 5er, our steps opened out onto the picnic table pad and our slide went out onto our neighbors pad. The whole place is well manicured and restrooms are very well maintained. They say there are no tents allowed, but there's one right up next to the office, albeit a big tent, it is still a tent. This place is well maintained and close to everything, however DO NOT be fooled by their website. The website shows rivers and mountains, you will not see any views at all like the ones on their home page, instead make sure you look at their map on their home page. The sites are that close together. Our site is slanted about 5 to 6 inches from side to side, not too level. So after I backed around the trees, with limbs that need to be trimmed, I could scrapes on the branches that overhang our site and others. I go to enjoy the fun of leveling 5 inches. This may sound a little negative but their website should be a little more honest as well, Also No discounts. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent paved RV resort campground. Well, not really a camper’s campground but a base for relaxation after shopping and sight seeing. On the plus side they have the cleanest hotel quality bath rooms— enough for the pickiest relatives to accept. Nice pool and an up-to-date small playground. All just enough to do for the kids. We came on a slow weekend with nothing going on in town so the main thoroughfare in the middle of the campground (15 mph speed limit) was not an issue for the safety of the kids. Nice well manicure lawns, nicely trimmed trees, and very large concrete pads so when it was raining all weekend, mud was non-existent. Sites are on the small side but adequate— ours did not have a fire ring. The host was nice enough to allow us to use the adjacent site to have a camp fire. If looking for a place to camp and enjoy nature or for the kids to have fun experiencing the busy camping experience, this is not the campground for you. If looking for just fancy place to sleep and sightsee during the day, this is the ideal place. With all of the fanciness, it is still pricey, did not even accept club discounts because to be honest this campground is in the best location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge right on the strip with trolley service right at your front door. Price includes eight of us including pet, full hook-up, and cable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Absolutely loved it here. It's close to everything and very,very clean. The bathrooms are incredible. We stayed here in a camping cabin and I will never stay at a hotel in Pigeon Forge again. The workers were always friendly over the phone, even after we had to change our reservations beyond the time allowed due to an emergency! We will stay here many more times!! We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
Bath houses surprisingly clean, bright, modern but a tad too cool...it was 28(f) outside. Sites a little too close for our comfort but it 'worked, and w/o noisy or close neighbors. Overall, a pleasant experience. Interior roads paved and in excellent condition. Concrete decks and 'close-in' hookups. They have included thoughtful and considerate amenities. Super spot. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A nice campground but the sites in the front row are tight. Our site was on a street that ran right through the camp ground. Not a suitable site if you have little children because some of the cars were going way to fast for that street. However, the rows behind us looked very spacious and the street was much quieter. The facilities are some of the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen. I will visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have camped here 2 times. First time was for a few days, second time was 8 days. Campground is tight but well kept. First visit was in October 2005 and the campground was not completely full. Second visit was July and you need reservations or you will not be staying here. Also, we suggest coming in before the crowd because maneuvering with your rig can be tricky and if you check-in late you might have to ask people to move their vehicles in order for you to park. Also, if you go during peak season expect the pool to be crowded. But we enjoy sight seeing so this is not a problem for us. The only problem we had, and we suspect it was because the campground was full, cable and internet did not stay connected. But it was nothing that would keep us from coming back. Restrooms and laundry facilities are very clean. We will be back next time we are in Pigeon Forge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
On the plus side, It is a very clean place with showers and bathrooms you can eat off the floor. Close to everything in Pigeon Forge and not far from Gatlinburg with a trolley stop on site. On the minus side, spaces are too close together and hard to back into due to the width of the access roads. One street goes right through the park where children ride their bikes, and traffic noise is constant. We live in Kentucky and a snow storm was forecast for 2 days before we were due to leave. We were concerned about the mountains so decided to leave for safety reasons. Due to it being the middle of the week, there were many open spaces but they would not refund our money for the 2 days. No compassion and sometimes rude, although we stayed here last year and was fond of the park, we will never come again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Let me begin by saying that if you are camping because you are looking for a return to nature then this is not your campground. This is more of an RV parking lot. We stayed here in a Pop-up and were so close to the next site that we could hear their conversations. It is located right on the main highway through Pigeon Forge and the traffic noise really picks up around 6:00 AM. However, other than the urban setting, it is an incredibly well kept campground. You couldn't have a cleaner bathouse/restroom which had elaborate fixtures and granite countertops. They even blow/rake the leaves from each site daily. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great location for Dollywood and area attractions and the Trolly stops here. Even though my family would rather stay in a more natural setting such as national park campground, we will definitely stay here again because the facilities are incredible. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Pretty close spacing. Fortunately I had an end space, might not have been able to get my 36' 5er into a space in the center of the park. Very nice, clean laundry, concrete patio, paved roads. Staff not to helpful (I wound up parking in the wrong space because of poor site numbering, but they let me stay there). WiFi didn't work. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Plus - nice management, good power & water , pool and maintained grounds. This park is not my vision of a River's Edge - a dozen or so sites tighly packed overlooking the creek and on the other bank - a main highway from Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge. Lots of road noise for folks on those premium sites. It was quiet a couple of rows over but our site was tightly packed in as were most. I enjoy space to breathe and limited my stay to just one brief night. Their own "In-House" Cable TV seemed to be limited to just a few channels - it had typical D-TV issues of total loss of signal in heavy rain. WiFi seems that night but recovered the next morning. Some of the sites are right on the Pigeon Forge Trolley route which rolls through the park till around 11pm. Good if you use the trolley - bad if you have minimal sound proofing on your camper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Unbelievably nice and clean restrooms, laundry, recreation room etc. Heated pool and hot tub. Nice and helpful staff. Trolley stop in campground, very handy. Excellent camping supplies available. Lots of mature shade. Would definitely camp here again. The road as earlier post described has been changed and is much safer. We camped for 7 days at RiverEdge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground has many pluse's with a few minus's that make their price a little over the top. We have stayed at this campground a number of times because its close to our home. The biggest problem with this campground is 1-Price 2-Staff attitudes 3-The City Street that runs through the center of it. We feel the price is really to much for what they have to offer. The staff can get real testy sometimes too and one of the ladies in the front office is known to be a bit terse when dealing with her. The biggest problem with this campground though is the paved street that runs through the center. It's busy with cars cutting through to another street and the speeds can be extremely high for campers with kids. It also add's to the noise of the place as its already a very noisy campground being so extremely close to the main drag in Pigeon Forge. My advice if you stay here is to ask for a site on the upper south side. This is especially true if you have small kids or want some peace and quiet. If you get one of the river sites, beware you will have a great deal of traffic noise from the main drag which is on the opposite side of the river. Overall, we are now using other campgrounds in the area after being treated a bit rudely at the front office. They also do not offer any discounts for Good Sam, FMCA or any other organization. What is advertised is what you pay. The other campgrounds in the area do offer discounts to members of organizations. We camped here in a Motorhome.
There is a public street running thru the middle of the campground with a 15mph speed
limit. We had small children, and keeping them from getting run over was a task everytime we were out side. The rest of the park had a 5mph speed limit.
The personnel at the park were more than rude when I had to go to the office. There was no hospitality what so ever from two of the three women I had to
deal with..in fact they were mean and nasty!!!! Will never stay THERE AGAIN OR RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We camped here on Spring Break of 2003, in a freezing ice storm and 2" of snow and had a blast. The park is sooo close to everything, Dixie Stampede, Gatlinburg, tons of great resturants. Make sure that you take a ride on the Trolly, my son loved it. Also the campground has a viedo camera in the game room so that parents can keep and eye on their children while at their campsite. Staff was very friendly and the park is so clean, the restroom/shower house is like the holiday inn, maybe even better. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

One of the finest parks I've seen. Beautiful park with a rushing river on one side of the park. The cleanest restrooms and showers I've ever encountered. The Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge shuttles run through the park. Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. We camped here in a 1999`

You do not wont to go here bad place to camp. Sites really small. Old really bad looking permanent travel trailers people are living in. Wires strung in trees running to them have to watch to keep from getting in them when backing into your site. Dogs running around loose (friendly) but dogie doo all over the place (bad) have to watch to keep from stepping in it. They advertise security on their site but there is none. No cable and no TV reception. They also advertise a store but i didn't see none. Its bad I will never go back even though they are Passport America and you can stay 1/2 price its not worth it. The cabins are real small and looked dirty from what I could see of them also I think the guy beside us (permanent) was drunk. It was really bad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The park was nice as always. $42/night was for 1 adult and 3 kids on the third row. Excellent reservation system online; you can pick your exact site and see pics. River sites can have a bit of a slope, but all the others are fairly level. Concrete pads, fire pits, and picnic tables at all sites. No concrete pads on the river, however. Right off the main road, but well away from the traffic. It also connects to a small back road that will get you to Dollywood in just 3 minutes. I recommend this place. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stay here about 2 times a year. Staff very nice. sites are close and some very unlevel. Wi-fi was poor and could not hook up. I do not like their no refund policys although I have never needed it. Not the best park, but far from the worst. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent 7 nights at this campground. We were on the second row and these spaces are flat so no leveling of camper side to side necessary. The washer/dryer facilities were very clean with new looking machines. The first night the cable was not working very well and a call to the office brought a repairman first thing the next morning. The bathhouses were clean though we used on board facilities since we had full hookups. Because the campground is on the back road, we were able to go to Dollywood without entering the main drag. 5 minutes and we were there. We will make this our campground any time we travel to Pigeon Forge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I am very happy with this campground. They welcome dogs, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. While some spots are small, some are really nice. I am going to ask for the same space again next year. Fall is wonderful in the Smokies. The "stream" that runs along the campground is actually the Little Pigeon River. The sites are gravel and fairly level, but extra 2x6 pieces of wood under the levelers is needed. Some sites are worse than others. The WiFi is slow - 802.11b, but the signal is strong everywhere. There are also a couple open nets via the nearby motels. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were disappointed only because we were not expecting "city" camping. From the CG's website, we thought that the location was more remote. We stayed for one week. We excitedly pulled into our riverfront site... only to notice that there is a moderate rise, i.e., 5 to 7 story motel on the other side of the creek with several balconies of folks peering down to watch us back in and set up camp. These buildings are strategically just outside of the view in the CG's web site photos. We did not like the thought of being watched the whole time while we camped, nor the lights and sounds of a motel less then 100 ft away so we went back to the office to seek another site. The staff was very nice and cheerfully let us switch sites. We choose one in the back and against the woods. They even gave us a credit since these were cheaper sites. Otherwise, the campground was clean and well maintained with level sites. The free pancakes at breakfast across the street was nice. The campground store was well, I would not call it a store as they had very little. However, being in town anything you need is close by. Yes, the trolley/bus does run through the CG. Nice if you want to use this transportation, but if you have little ones that wonder off site, you may have to keep an eye on them. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We didn't spend much time here since we were in Pigeon Forge for the Chevy Avalanche National Get-together. Staff was extremely friendly and we were offered free pancakes at a local pancake house. Our site was on the river and we didn't have any problems leveling. Site are extremely close together. There were plenty of ducks to watch and many campers were tubing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park is fine for a one or two night stop-over while in Pigeon Forge; however I wouldn't recommend it if you want to have a peaceful quiet time at your campsite. This is because the sites are extremely close together offering zero privacy. The sites on the water were across a narrow stream from a multi-level building. I was glad that visitors to the campground were not charged a fee to enter, as is the case with most private campgrounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff was friendly and helpful allowing us to choose our site. The trolley runs through the campground about every 30 minutes. The cement patio was nice. The bath house was clean, but could use some updates allowing more room in each. Our grandson enjoyed riding his bike and the swimming pool. This is our third time at this campground and it had a new playground. As an added bonus, we were given tickets to eat free pancakes each morning at a nearby restaurant. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great park. I have stayed in many State parks that were not as nice as this one. Staff was very friendly. We had a site right on the river so view was very nice. WiFi was not so great but did work better near the center of the park. Most sites look level except for ones near the river. We spent some time leveling our trailer but was ok, adds to the charm of this park. Lots of geese and ducks, even saw a beaver one day. There is a Tram that comes by about every 20 minutes. Perfectly positioned between Smoky Mountain attractions and Pigeon Forge attractions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a wonderful stay here. It was prime time in Gatlinburg/PF area. The campground was full, of course. The sights were VERY close together, but the back sites where we were we very long, so there was plenty of room in the back for campfires, etc. It looks to me like a big rig might have issues pulling in here--there are peoples trucks and toads all over the road, making it difficult to navigate, but manageable. We will go back here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This one didn't tickle my fancy. We were in a river site that, due to a couple of strategically placed telephone poles, was very difficult to back into and was so pitched that there was no chance of getting level without lifting my rear axle 10 inches off the ground. A poorly stocked store and indifferent office people who just shrugged their shoulders when I asked if I could be moved sealed the deal. I will say that being backed up to the river was really nice. The kids and the dog had a ball. Was able to sit outside and listen (couldn't see) Clint Black perform on Saturday night. Being a holiday, it was really busy, but there were 3 suitable sites that stayed open even though I had asked to move. Additionally, due to heavy traffic on the main roads, allot of people cut thorough the campground to save time. It's a wonder some of the little kids didn't get hurt. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a nice campground, we stayed at site #2 and even though it is near the entrance you get lots of room. You can get the rig level pretty easy.The site is right next to the stream, the deeper you go into the park the sites get higher from the stream. Towards the end of the row you see a parking garage on the other side of the stream. The sites away from the stream look like they just got concrete pads, which is nice.It is nice and quiet at the campground. The kids had fun riding there bikes and swimming in the pool. If we ever go back to Pigeon Forge (tourist trap) we will stay there again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here for 10 days in December. We were able to enjoy Winterfest and a very nice CG that wasn't crowded. Mother nature tossed us a bit of light snow and then record setting single-digit cold. It would take more than inclimate weather to inhibit the exuberance of this park's staff. A lot of work has been going on for the past couple of years and the upgrades are readily evident. This has got to be the numero uno CG for family camping in this area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed 4 nights and enjoyed every minute. The only negative was the Internet service could be slow or unresponsive at times because it was satellite (DirecWay) into the campground versus DSL or cable. The only other issue was when we tried to extend our stay, the office didn't seem able to or didn't try very hard to accommodate us but this was our fault and not the campground. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I highly recommend this campground. Sites 1 - 10 are the best waterfront sites, but most all sites are good. Clean pool, restrooms and WIFI service. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first time camping in this area. We had a really good time. Campground was in a good location. Close to everything but off the beaten path to give you some peace. Trolley comes by I believe about every 30 minutes to take you in to pigeon forge. We stayed right by the pool and the kids loved it. Sites are a little tight but it was fine. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here in a Travel Trailer the last week of June 2006. Let me first say that I have never traveled to this area before so the whole experience was a bit overwhelming! I was not anticipating the unbelievable traffic/crowds and commercialism we found in Pigeon Forge. That being said, I was disappointed to find that the campground was not located in the mountains (not even the foothills), but was just one block off the main strip in Pigeon Forge. We requested a stream-side site and luckily were assigned a very nice one. However, some stream-side sites are directly across the stream from a parking garage. The campground was clean, very quiet, and small which we greatly appreciated after battling crowds everywhere else. It is also very close to Dollywood and everything else Pigeon Forge has to offer. Another nice thing about the location is that it is at the far end of Pigeon Forge and offers convenient access to Gatlinburg, as well. We visited many campgrounds during our stay and believe that Twin Mountain was certainly the best place to stay in Pigeon Forge. Just don't anticipate a mountain-type of atmostphere at this campground. My husband and son had a ball tubing on the stream, and the pool was always nice and clean. If we were to visit Pigeon Forge again, we would definitely stay here. For a campground more in the mountains, you might want to consider staying in Gatlinburg a very short drive from Pigeon Forge. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
It had been a couple of years since our last visit here. The policy of ongoing improvements was very obvious. The electrical service was new at all sites and paved patios were the order of business during this visit. I guess about thirty or more patios were done and progress was being made on providing this amenity to all sites. What had not changed was the friendliness and professionalism of all the park employees. This is made clear to you from reservation to check-out. We had a wonderfully relaxing stay once again at what has to be the "Best of PF!" We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Camped here the last of September. Weather was a little warm but the campground is very nice. Bath houses are clean and pool was very kept up well. Campground has a little store , clean laundrey facility, three clean bathhouses,and a pool. Stay here when we come to Pigeon Forge a couple of times a year. Lots are spacious with fire ring. Very peaceful and quiet. Trolley runs through campground every 30 minutes or so if you don't want to drive. Gas station and grocery store close by with access on side street so you dont have to get on the Parkway. Love coming here and would recommend it to any one. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Great shady location for tubing on the Pigeon River. Besides the outter and middle sites, they have around 35 spacious water front full hool-up sites on an active portion of the creek that have substantial usable room behind your rig for grilling and enjoying the shade and creek. Great utilities - Cable TV was from the local cable provider with all of the channels. Picnic tables and fire rings can be found at most sites. Firewood can be puchased at the store. There are several well placed bath houses and the Pigeon Forge Trolley passes through this camp. We fell in love with this place and plan on being regulars in our 41 ft. coach. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Our top recommended site in Pigeon Forge! Plenty of space between sites, level, clean, lots of shade but not clausterphobic. Just off the strip but quiet. Great location at the South end of Pigeon Forge; turn left for Gatlinburg or right for Pigeon Forge. PS: Stop by the Pepperidge Farm outlet on your way in to stock up on Gold Fish for the friendly, but not pushy, resident ducks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park was very nice,very clean,and quiet. Lots of shade with adequate room to park. Creek
was fun for the kids to go tubing and the water was cold. One block off the main drag behind Dixie Stampede. Camped here in a 5th wheel in 2003. Will be back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had an excellent experience from the reservation phone call forward. A young man by the name of Daniel assisted with reservations and was working while we were there. He is the manager that most parks dream about--- second to none! The park is very well maintained. Shower houses and laundry immaculate. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Web site makes site selection easy and resrevation confirmation was in hand in three days. Trolly stop in park was just too convenient for words. We even rode trolly to Gatlinburg (fifty cents instead of six bucks for
parking) A great little park! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stay at this campground every year during Thanksgiving. Great folks, prime
location, on Trolly route, older park but taken care of. We camped here in a camper.
This park's location was very convenient for visiting Pigeon Forge. Both cable and Wi-Fi were excellent. The streets need to be repaired some, and my site was barely level enough. The staff was very friendly. Don't get that first site at the entrance of the park: every car, truck, motorhome, etc. will shine their lights on your rig when entering and their passage will be quite noticeable. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly & accommodating staff, clean laundry facility with 3 washer & dryers, iron & ironing board. Nice deck with picnic tables outside the laundry room, overlooks stream. Concrete patios with picnic tables at each site, small shade trees. Good Wi-Fi service. Trolley stops frequently to transport to entertainment areas & shops. Enjoyable stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicely paved interior road. Level gravel (river rock) sites. Clean 50 amp power. Adequate but not terrific water pressure (measured 35 psi). Owner is very friendly. We'll be here 7.5 months, so I may update this review. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place was a joke . Except for the low price , I would not recommend . It was noisey, owner was rude, sites are to close together, there was only one bathroom and shower for ladies bath house, and there was no toliet paper! We will not be staying here again . Next time we will probably stay next door at Creekside Rv Park and pay the extra 4.00 . We camped here in a Motorhome.
Small and sites very close together, but that is expected in a new park in a very busy area. Owner, will do whatever he can to make the stay good. Close to attractions, cable & wifi excellent. No shop. Laundry and amenities very clean. Trash can at every site and collected daily. Not the biggest and most spacious site, but friendly atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Fairly noisy as located next to busy road. Owner advertised sites as 'concrete pad' but the pad is a small one beside your RV, not to park on! Concrete pad to me means that is where you will park your RV. Sites are large gravel that is not packed at all which means that you will have huge ruts where your tires are. Very difficult to level and very difficult to drive in. Road inside park is paved. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Owner/Manager was unfriendly. Spaces were VERY close together. It was noisy at night. There is only one shower and one bathroom for women and for men. RV spaces were muddy. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a new campground in Pigeon Forge. It is located next door to Creekside Campground. The sites are gravel with concrete pads. There is no shade yet. The owner has planted lots of trees so one day there will be shade. Nice views of Waldens Creek. Bottom line, nothing spectacular but the price is right and you are right in the middle of Pigeon Forge. Wi-Fi worked great too! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
