“We had a wonderful stay at this campground. It was so easy from the reservation online to checkout! The campground is clean and the grounds are maintained well. We really thought the sites were distanced well, and we like the mature trees. The campground really is situated in a nice location with the river so close. This gives the feeling of seclusion, but you literally are right in town. We could easily get to all the surrounding attractions and areas with ease! The pool area is so nice! The lazy river is awesome, and we enjoyed the hot tub because the evenings were chilly.” – M.M. 

“Awesome park, lots of sites, and plenty of amenities to keep the whole fam happy. Two collocated but separate dog parks, arcade, pool, small lazy river, HUGE bouncing pad for the kids, pickleball, small fitness center, direct access Sevierville’s main drag, propane filling station… like I said, great park to stay at!” – Kathleen K.
