Very basic amenities, and crowded in the summer season. Golf cart traffic was annoying and prevalent. Only two showers and toilets (co-ed) for our section of the park made for some uncomfortable waits. Our basic cabin had a torn screen which we repaired ourselves. The directional signs are reflective, but in anything but a pickup truck, you won't be able to read them. Frustrating if getting in after dark. Expensive for what we got. Had to pay a deposit for a second key. Nice little lake, and well equipped camp store.

Ended up booking a camper site here with full hookups. Loved every minute of it. Campground is full of activity and campers were all friendly. The walk to water safari is about 15 min and not bad at all. Checking in was super quick, you cannot check in even 1 min early. It's not the employees it's the computer system. It's set on a clock so don't arrive early. Place is super clean and the wildlife is abundant.

I originally booked 2 cabins with hopes of getting a cottage instead. I called on a regular basis. We ended up being able to get a cottage but would need to move sites on the Friday. And I was Fine with that as long as i was expecting it. Then I received a call on July 3 letting us know that a cottage was available for the entire stay and we wouldnt need to move after all. I was super excited ! When we got there I checked in confirmed that we would not need to move cottages and as promised I brought the staff cookies as a thank you. The next day I received a call letting us know we had to switch cottages. We were on or way to the water safari, had to come all the way back, pack all our stuff up and switch cottages. I also shared the message that I received from them with the manager letting them see with their own eyes that I was told that they had a cottage available for us for our entire stay so we would not have to move. They didn’t seam to care much. We still had to move. So we ended up moving sites. So We won’t be back. We were at cottage 2 for the second part of our stay. The view and site was nice. And the cottage was pretty much exactly the same as the cottage we had to move from. This was our 3rd year camping here. Also, the store and showers close super early. So if you need something go early. Also they used to have breakfast sandwiches in the am, that is no longer a thing there. And the small fridges are very small. Pack a cooler . And a fan. And the park smells like pot. I personally can’t stand it. I know a lot of people like it but while camping i prefer the smell of the great out doors. Not drugs. On a positive note, cottage # 2 is better than cottage #5 because you can park right there and bring your stuff right to the door from the stairs. Cottage 5 has a hill you need to walk down to get to the site.

This year was a first for me and my family. We absolutely loved it. It was such a peaceful stay. I think its great that all of the trees are put to great use with their man made cabins, and constant firewood to burn. It was a great place to stay. The other guest were friendly and respectful, everything seems to get quiet as soon as it gets dark, which is great on a family get away. They have a private beach, an arcade, and laundry on site. I was pretty unprepared for this trip and it still was a great time. The start of a family tradition.

I have camped here for over 20yrs. this year I arrived at 515pm to find office closed. they sent an email( my service was awful so I didn't get ) drove 2.5 hours. arrived and had no clue how to get to my cabin or get a key. I called the number on the board no one called me back. I had to find a spot with service finally was able to pull up email. this was all very frustrating after driving 2.5 hours with kids. then I was unable to purchase wood or anything at the camp store, we had to pack up the kids go into town and find some that was wet. I have never in the past years experienced this. its a holiday week and they close at 5pm!!!! furthermore I have not seen one security person, staff person at night. I always felt safe here and loved this place this was very disappointing. also have not seen 1 cleaning person , the bathroom was horrible , no toilet paper and of corse no staff to contact , what is going on, I heard there is new owners they need to get priorities set and hire staff instead of making money. because they will lose long term customers on a positive note the bedding is much better than it use to be

This place is so awesome!!!!! A weekend or a week away up in the mountains, whether in a camper, tent, or cabin at this resort will melt the stress away as you play. Lots of fun things to do with your family and nature tends to visit your front door. Bathrooms and showers are always clean whenever i visit, coin laundry on site, stoves and sinks outside the common lodges, potable water, propane if need be, and a very accommodating and stocked gift shop just in case you forgot to pack something.

I love staying here, the front office is amazing, along with the staff and grounds employees, they try to go over and beyond to help you out with any issues you might have, the family loves it here, can you tell?

We rented an RV site over Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time! We had never been to Old Forge and will certainly add it to the list for future visits. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Bathroom and shower facilities were clean and well maintained. The grounds were beautiful and the location to town cannot be beat

Wonderful weekend hiking and leaf peeping! The cottage was cozy and comfortable with enough room so we were not on top of each other. It was awesome and convenient to have a kitchen and a bathroom. The evenings with the family by the fire was great. The resort store had the items we needed, and items we didn't know we needed!

The campground itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. We rented a cabin which was cute, clean and efficient. The bottom bunk was actually big enough for two which surprised us. The windows were a tight seal, no bugs and could close out the sound, although we did not find the campground loud at all. Bathroom was nice and plenty of hot water. Plenty of outlets and kitchen was set up nice for light cooking with a big table. Loses a star because the beds were horribly uncomfortable. I don’t expect a lot in a cabin, but these were really bad. We did not get a lot of sleep because we were so uncomfortable. Even the kids were tossing and turning. I have back issues and ended up having to use my seat pad from the car and some extra towels to try and get some padding. We were thinking even doubling up the mattress’s might help?
