What a great place to stay!! Great people, great views, fun weekly activities, trails and access to the water, safe, clean, and well maintained! I have to admit my favorite part of staying here is the road coming in!! A sweet spot, nestled just under the Smoky Mountains with short access to other states and attractions!

Our favorite campground. Great views, people, WiFi. All FHU, $35.00 per night for 2025. Self contained only no bath house.

Booking on line was super easy, the two men who greeted us on a cart, as we entered the property; even made a change in our space for our views sake. They were very kind and professional; gentlemen in fact. The property is well kept, well marked and easy to navigate, water electric and sewer connections were easy to access. The view of the mountains are majestic and if you take the time to walk into the woods in the rear of the campground and very nice stream with moving water was there and we enjoyed. We will be back.

Wasn't sure about this place as it was described as parking in a field with full hookups but turned out to be an awesome campground. People were so friendly, kids playing every day, the amenity pavilion has fire pit w wood, tables, corn hole and other games, free bikes to ride, and the best was the creek behind it. Kids had a blast playing in the creek and riding tubes down. Yes, no picnic table, fire pits at campsites, concrete pads, or a bathhouse with showers... but if you know this going in, the price is very sweet. And the views of the surrounding state parks were great! Easy to access too. Wifi and water pressure were better than any other campground.

This is a great place to camp! Very convenient for a quick getaway, beautiful setting with a nice view of Table Rock area. Sites have full hookups and the grounds are well maintained. The staff is great and as we found out this past weekend, will literally drop everything to come help you in time of need! Our awning was stuck out a few feet after a power failure and Richard and Trey were there right away. They persisted til they were able to fully retract the awning so we could at least tow our camper home. I can't thank them enough for their kindness in helping us. Definitely recommend this campground!
