Park is clean and well maintained. Office staff is friendly. The sites are gravel and fairly close together. The bath house is nice and clean. Beautiful location and only a short drive outside of the entrance to the Smokies. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

We took a chance and booked for a weekend. The advertised Halloween themed activities for the kids really drew us in. Enough to overlook the not-so-great internet presence based on reviews. What a trip. There are pros and cons, as found anywhere. The cons are pretty obvious as soon as you pull into the park. It is off the beaten path, which is normally a great thing for me. But this park really gives a sketchy vibe. The sites are predominately residential and not maintained well. The back of the campground holds the majority of the residential sites, with the short term sites closer to the front and tent camping sites jammed inbetween. Everything is outdated and feels very dirty. Bath houses, laundry, even the general grounds. Older, well-kept facilities are not a problem for me. But that is not what you find here. This is both older and neglected. I'd stay away from the back of the campground, because it definitely gives the vibe of someone going missing. We even had a man-hunt during our stay, with heavy police presence for several hours.
For the pros! My kids do not look through the lense of an adult with adult concerns. They had a blast! Some of the activities were very lackluster, but that pool really saved the weekend. Even if it did feel a bit ick as an adult 😆 They loved the playground. Our site was beautiful! We had a back in close to the front and the view over the pond was very nice. Site was spacious. No complaints there except for it being pretty unlevel and hard to work with when setting up.
In summary, the negative reviews are founded. This could be a really great place. Lots of potential. But as it sits now, it's a miss. If you feel adventurous and want to try it, try it! But we will skip this one next time.

We spent a month at this park. Sites are assigned at arrival, so you cannot choose your preference. Site 27 was great. Heavily wooded between our site and the neighboring site, creating a very private feel. It was unlevel and took some work to get the camper situated. We never were able to get cinoletelt level, but it worked out. We did not use the bath houses, but they are located quite a long distance from the rv sites. The trails are wonderful! I do agree with the previous reviewer regarding the park map. It could definitely be more informative, but it was enough to keep us on track. We spent many hours hiking and enjoying the sites. The boardwalk area is beautiful! Cell signal was spotty and tree coverage was too dense for starlink. Overall, it's a great place if you love to be in nature. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Stayed 2 weeks at this campground. Beautiful park! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Bath houses were tidy, laundry facility well priced and well maintained. No complaints! Gorgeous views!

If you find yourself in this area, it's a decent place to stay as long as you do not need the bathhouse. The staff is phenomenal! Very helpful, kind, and personable. The sites are pretty tight and oddly angled with smaller than ideal pads, but our site was still manageable. Spray for ants if you plan on staying for any length of time! We had ants climbing our water, power, and septic finding their way into the camper. The bathhouse was dated and well worn, which isn't a deal breaker here... but the level of cleanliness leaves much to be desired. There is a huge influx of day traffic during the fishing tournaments, and I think the bathhouse is the only public restroom facility in the park. Maybe those conditions make it difficult for staff to properly tend the facilities during some days, but it can get quite gross in there. Luckily we did not need to use them much! The view is beautiful. Amazing new playground equipment if you had kids! There is a swimming area and multiple docks for fishing. Again, the staff was great and I would return if we were in the area again.
