This park is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area in the heart of Cherokee. We had a creek side spot and stayed 11 days. The owners were amazing and very friendly. The park is quiet and peaceful. It’s a good place to go explore the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge parkway. We would definitely stay again.

our family has stayed with Barry and Cherokee Campground for over 25 years, but sometimes it is time to move on. Such was the case with the former owners, but he couldn't have turned it over to a nicer couple. Chris and Cheri, Thanks for making us feel right at home again at Lazy Turtle Campground. You will definitely see us again. Ronny and Vivian

Very friendly staff! Great location and reasonably priced. Built in shelves and cubbies meant we weren’t tripping over suitcases. The rooms were spacious. Lots of parking room and picnic areas for large groups. We grilled trout from the creek. My family rented four cabins for a family get together. We have been here before, but like the new owners and the updates. My family will definitely plan to meet here again!

Great small campground with full utilities, close to everything but it feels like you are in the middle of no where. A lot of shade trees and a small creek runs through it. I was having problems with my truck battery and the owners were so willing to help us out. We will definitely be back.

Lazy Turtle Campground is the Best. We just spent a week and was completely satisfied. I spent my whole life at this campground, Chris and Sherry, the new owners, has made changes that were needed and greatly appreciated. They are both awesome hosts accommodating your every need. The campground itself is majestic. If you want a family oriented campground with a beautiful river please check them out. You’ll end up like me, sharing it with generations of your family. Thank you Chris and Sherry for giving us back this beautiful place.

If you have a larger rig, this campground will be tight for you. We have a 41ft 5th wheel and it was tight in our spot which was one of the larger spots. Leaving is a little bit of a challenge for bigger rigs. I saw some of the larger rigs turning around and going in the wrong direction to go out so they didn't have to do the very tight turn to get out (it's a 1 way loop). While walking my leashed small and friendly dogs, 2 of the campground dogs who belong to a worker and were allowed to roam charged them and were extremely aggressive towards them. I was very concerned they were going to hurt my dogs. No one from the campground came out to deal with them and I was in front of the office and the house a manager/worker lives in. After a while they stopped and just walked off. If you have a spot on the creek/river, it's a pretty view. Campground is older and the trees are mature. It's a quiet setting. We did not use the bathhouse so I don't know the condition of it.

This is the best campground I have been at! My husband has been coming here since he was a little boy. Barry and Candace treat everyone like family! It’s peaceful and relaxing. They have bunkhouses, and cabins plus tent sites and RV sites. So if you want a perfect place to relax and enjoy this is the place you need to be!

We called a week before for a month stay, with lots of vehicles, they went above and beyond to accommodate us. Family owned, beautiful creek, great fishing, tons of little hide away places to read, or just sit. The cabins are super cute. This is a small campsite, very peaceful. All staff are super genuine, nice people. A lovely cat, that will come running to you, IF you have treats. The cheapest ice around. The river is within walking distance, as is the casino. The ABSOLUTE lowest rates, you won't find a better campsite. Thank you Barry and everyone that made this a ho.e away from home.

Great location. Stayed in a cabin and it had a great view of the river. The issue was when we went to lay our heads down the first night and realized there was unfortunately a bed bug infestation in the cabin. Owner was nice enough to refund money spent for the cabin but not nice enough to reimburse for money spent on new suitcases and money spent at the laundromat.
