The sites are mostly gravel and positioned to provide a sense of privacy among mature trees.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

My stay was excellent. The site was reasonably level and the area was quiet. My cat escaped briefly and some of the neighbors chipped in to help get her back. I did miss not having an onsite sewer connection, but the dump site was convenient. The laundry was excellent. It was nice be able to use a credit card instead of a lot of quarters. The grounds are quite basic, but completely adequate.

Site (D2) was level and clean. Its a quiet campground as more people live there than just camp. Disappointed that there was no firepit or picnic table. The site's sewer connection was also at a horrible low angle so not easy to dump. Entryway to the campground is a hill and full of potholes..not fun when pulling in/out.

This is the second time we stayed here. It is an older campground and it tight for larger rigs but you can get around. The employees are helpful and the facilities are clean. It is close to Knoxville and other places to eat and see. However, if you are in A10 or sites close by there is a sewer lift station close by and you do get some smells.

The staff here is amazing! They are very friendly and accommodate your needs when possible. It’s very quiet at night and all of the other campers are friendly. The shower house is always clean and the laundry facilities are awesome! We love this place!!
