Amazing campground! Very friendly people in the store, they deliver firewood and other needs when available. They have a nature walk in the back of the campsites. Campsites are spacious and clean. The laundry room was fairly clean, as in no visible dog hair in washer and dryers, 2.50 per wash or dry. Super cute park for kids, brand new and clean. Also had a game room with board games and puzzles. Surrounded by nature, not too far from center of Gatlinburg/pigeon forge. Very closer to great Smokey mountains.
Spent 3 nights in the deluxe cabins. AMAZING!! Wow. Everything you want or need. Design, layout both in and out, awesome. So impressed. The staff the grounds, other campers, everything perfect. Beds were comfortable, heat and a/c, grill outside, deck was huge and campfire toward the side was great..Rec room was fun. Would highly recommend. It's close enough to the action of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge about 30 minutes. Nice drive through the mountains to travel to, also far away to unplug and be in natural setting. Just splendid. Will go back in the Spring. Can't wait!!
We booked this KOA for 2 weeks originally, but ended up staying almost 2 months! The staff were the friendliest I've ever encountered. The playground was a huge hit for our kids, and they had so many activities! We were there for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and our kids met so many new friends that they barely missed home. Big, beautiful sites, good internet, and close enough to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, but far enough to have peace and quiet! I would love to have stayed here longer!! 5 Stars for sure 🌟
Perfection! We were absolutely thrilled with our stay. Jenny runs a great place, Jordan was super helpful escorting us. All the staff was very friendly and efficient. We were happy to be there on Halloween and Friday for Lee’s live music. Very clean and well kept campground. We will be back some day!
Very clean and tidy campground, clean restrooms and showers. Has a huge playground for the kids. Great staff, they're all friendly and helpful! Well spaced out sites. The location is in a quiet area and not a bad drive to get into downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I highly recommend this KOA!
