Known for its tranquil atmosphere and manicured grounds, this park balances modern resort comforts with the natural beauty of the Appalachian foothills. It provides a gated, secure environment for travelers looking to escape the busier tourist corridors of East Tennessee while remaining close to the region's top destinations.
Location & Surroundings
Situated on what locals call the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, the resort sits directly on the banks of a gentle river. The surrounding landscape of Walland is defined by rolling hills, misty mornings, and dense forests. It is strategically located between Maryville and Townsend, offering a significantly quieter alternative to the bustling centers of Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge while maintaining easy access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is designed with both luxury and convenience in mind, featuring spacious full hookup sites that accommodate large rigs with ease. Guests have access to a variety of premium amenities, including a resort-style swimming pool, a modern fitness center, and a large clubhouse for community gatherings. For those traveling with four-legged companions, the dedicated dog park offers a safe space for play, while the entire property remains gated to ensure a private and secure stay.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking and tubing directly from the resort's river access or take a short drive to the stunning Foothills Parkway for panoramic mountain views. The resort is perfectly positioned for day trips to Cades Cove, a historic valley famous for its wildlife sightings and preserved pioneer structures. Local artisan shops in Townsend and the diverse dining options in nearby Maryville provide plenty of off-park entertainment.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is an ideal choice for luxury RV travelers who prioritize a quiet, well-maintained environment over high-traffic tourist hubs. It is particularly well-suited for seasonal travelers, retirees, or couples seeking a refined and peaceful retreat. Those who value riverfront access and a slower, more intentional pace of travel will find this resort to be an excellent base for exploring the beauty of Tennessee.

Editing my review to say the owners are incredible people! Not only did they respond quickly, but they also addressed and eliminated the issue from happening to someone else. While we did not expect a refund they extended us one as well. Top notch and cannot wait to return! Do not stay in site C1! The weeping willow dripped sap and leaves on everything! We now have a sticky mess of sap and leaves on our RV, truck, hoses, electrical cord, stairs, handle, slide toppers, dog leash and that's just the things that were outside. Floors inside are sticky too and had to throw entry mat away. The tree literally drapes onto the top of your RV so you can constantly hear the branches and leaves brushing the roof and sides. We had to be cautious closing the entry door as branches and leaves were getting stuck inside of it because they were in the way. It's a nice campground in a great location however we couldn't enjoy our stay. We weren't able to use the fire pit, picnic table or sit outside at all as the tree constantly drips sap and leaves which then stick to everything too. When checking out I did mention this to a worker on the grounds and he was aware of the issue as it is not something that just happened. Owners need to remove the tree or take this site out of there reservation system.

If you are looking for a clean, quiet, fairly priced campground, this is it! Tucked in between two mountains, sits this little gem. Very well manicured property! The river is great for wading or sitting in a tube too. Not a whole lot for kids to do but ours kept themselves occupied. The staff was very friendly also.

Warm nice people who care about guests. Large shower and bath facility is clean and has individual rooms. Exercise room and pool are a nice perks. We have an RV but they have cabins for rent right along the river. They keep the area mowed and trimmed. Located right next to a small river you can float down in a tube or kayak. I have seen several people fish. 15-25 minutes away from grocery stores and shopping. Reasonably priced as well! We will return for sure.

No problems, peaceful, out of the way of noise but close enough to everything. Pull in sites were super easy to get in and out of. Other campers were kind and courteous and were happy to have a conversation with strangers or join in with playing in or around the pool. Owners were out and about the property most of the day doing general maintenance and chatting it up with anyone who wanted to. We had a good talk with Kenneth and really enjoyed our time there. Definitely will be going back. Had full hook up and private dump on our site as well.

We have been here 2-3 times, it’s one of my favorite campgrounds. It is close to the Great Smokey Mountains, Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg all within 40 minutes. Very peaceful & quiet. Sites are spaced well. There is a river behind the CG that you can tube in or let your pet swim. There is also a nice walk along the river. The pool is nice too. There is a fitness room that needs help but I made it work for me.
