I live local to this campground. In May, I purchased a motorhome to stay in up north while helping a family member with stage 4 cancer. My son and I needed to practice setting it up in a campground, and then getting it ready for departure. At the same time, AT hikers who I helped last year notified me they were coming to the area for a section hike. Perfect! I offered to let them stay in the RV instead of a hostel. I explained the situation to the campground owners. They were very understanding and accommodating. We got the RV backed in and hooked up and the hikers settled in. In the morning, they were able to tell us a few things that didn't work that we later fixed. The campground was very peaceful - no loud, partiers to ruin their camping experience. I chalk that up to the owners running a tight ship and not allowing for that sort of thing.

Great place. I decided to bug out for the 4th of July weekend. I had no reservations. I showed up before they opened on the 5th. One of the campers was helpful and the owner came quickly. He was very helpful and nice. After check in he helped out with my parking, and leveling. It looks tight getting in and out. My 5th wheel is 42'5" and I had no trouble at all. If you want a quiet place, this is it.

Keep Driving Don’t Stop Owner is a terse woman who asks a lot of questions and has many rules. Her husband insisted we park our small travel trailer his way. The restroom/shower was not available. The men’s side stated “Closed for Winter” even though it was springtime in mid April. The women’s side posted “Not open to people who have their own facilities”. We believe the restroom restrictions/discriminations are to keep people out so they don’t have to clean them. We were being watched and/or photographed the entire visit. Creepy. Did not feel welcome or safe. We paid $54 for ten hours of electric service at a level site. Not worth it. No southern hospitality here!

We found this campground online by searching for campgrounds near us! It’s about 40 minutes from my driveway to campground! If your lookout for a quiet weekend getaway nestled in the woods, look no farther! Woodsmoke is located in unicoi Tennessee right off exit 32! At first I was worried that there may be excessive noise from the interstate but was quickly relieved that I could not hear any noise at all except the peaceful sounds of nature! We were greeted by the owners and guided to our site, they helped back us in and even had a special touch waiting for us on the picnic table! We asked for a late check out on Sunday and they were more than obliged to work with us! The bathhouse was clean and more than adequate! The atmosphere was calm and peaceful throughout our entire stay, no dogs barking or loud music at all! If you closed your eyes you felt as if your were in the middle of the forest without other camper’s around, it was that quiet! If your passing through Unicoi TN don’t hesitate to call and book a site for a night or two, you won’t regret it! One last note, there is no pool or kid friendly amenities, but that is part of what makes this place so special a campground for parents to get away for our anniversary or older couples who want a quite wilderness retreat. East Tennessee has plenty of family friendly campgrounds to accommodate you, this is one of few that I know of that offers a quiet escape from parenthood lol! We will definitely be back again real soon!

This was our first time staying at this campground. We loved it. Stayed there to mountain bike the fire tower trail. Small campground with lots of charm. Owners are top notch. Well kept grounds. Some sites have covered patios.Very quiet and peaceful. Its a forest setting with lots of trees but that adds to the uniqueness . Pet friendly. I do hope that some of the low hanging limbs are removed. Then the upper part of campground can be used as a loop instead of having to go to the top and turn around to exit. We will be back soon.

We stayed at this campground for 14 nights in October-November while my husband hiked this section of the Appalachian Trail. Small privately owned. Most sites are level but some are a bit tight. We lucked out with having a cute little shelter on our site # 10. Adequate walking areas for walking a dog and the views on top were amazing. Closest grocery store was five minutes away for a larger selection of grocery stores and restaurants only 15-20 minutes. Very easy access from I -26. Full hook ups but bathhouse is still closed because of Covid. No other amenities on site.

Canopy of fall trees. Each breeze brough a snow drift of leaves. Peaceful and friendly.
