This campground is a hidden gem! We pulled in for a week and stayed for a month. Beautiful mountain views and great staff. The blueberries were ripe and we picked our own. The apple orchard was not yet ready for picking but we enjoyed walking through it. The camp mascot is a pot belly pig named "Miss Piggy" and the campground dog is a little Jack Russell mix called "little man." If you want a different experience in camping try this place: large sites (all with 50 amp) and easy in/out in our 42 ft motorhome. It is about 6 miles off I-26. Park has great hosts! We camped here in a Motorhome.
One of the most unique experiences we've ever had RVing! This is a working horse ranch with an adjacent RV park. You have beautiful 360 degree views of the Smokey Mountains. You can back right up to the lake, and watch the horseback riding events, etc. It's wonderful to see all the animals, including a 27 year old horse who roams free and never wanders off, and a family pet named "Miss Piggy", a cute as a button pot-bellied pig. This is a real camping experience and one not to be missed if you're in the Bristol/Johnson City area of eastern Tennessee. The owners were wonderful accommodating hosts...we will be back! Oh, and the cleanest bath house I've ever seen...well worth the money! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Absolutely beautiful place!!! Very friendly people. We got in well after dark and everyone around my site turned their headlamps on so I could get parked. This park is way back in the woods so there is no light at night, no highway noise, and most likely no place with a good view of the sky for a roof mounted satellite dish. I am in site 18 and have no signal. Wi-fi is good and people are very friendly. If you are in the area, this place is a must!!! For $25 this is the nicest place I've stayed for any amount. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stumbled onto this place by accident and loved it. Super nice folks that own and run Woodsmoke, one of the nicest cleanest places we have stayed at. If ever in the area again will make it a point to stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. It is most appropriate for those who truly enjoy the outdoor experience, not for those who are expecting to be entertained nonstop. It is very quiet, beautiful, clean and well maintained. Woodsmoke is an excellent value for the area, approximately one half the cost of the closest KOA campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
They have wi-fi and about 1/3 of the sites can see a satellite TV from your rooftop. The other sites would require a portable dish. The restrooms and showers were very clean and the water was hot. Ample trash cans. Sites were well separated and level. Leaves raked and trees pruned. The price is as low as you're going to see in the area in a private campground. Gravel road going into the place is narrow, but effectively is one way. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground was over priced, it would have been a nice $15 a night campground. We don't always visit/use the campground restrooms but they did have the cleanest ones we have ever been in. The sites are small,hard to back into, we could not drive directly out from our site but had to drive into an area, back up then pull out! There was also nothing for children,and only 2 local tv stations. We attended a rally and there was no shelter or even a campsite big enough for our group to meet and eat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was probably the quietest and most relaxed campground we have ever stayed at. Management was very helpful. Although close to the interstate it was very quite. Will surely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
