We stayed in our RV and site was perfect for our small 15’ camper and truck. This is a very quiet park with nice restrooms. The staff was very friendly. You can’t get closer to Dollywood. Very convenient location.

We stayed in the larger cabin that sleeps 8. It was very clean. Could use an update but still a good stay. It was cold so the pools were covered, park was clean, did need the grass trimmed. Still no internet or TV and we were told that upon arrival. Didn't really matter as we were busy seeing and doing. Staff was very nice. The large rocks you have to walk on around the cabin makes it difficult. Overall it was a good stay and we will be going back to visit.

When we checked in we were advised that they have no cable or wifi now. We got to our RV site it is rather small and the grass was tall. The pool was not maintained, green with leaves floating in it but it did match the small pond that's on site. No type of compensation for the loss of amenities. We cut our trip 3 days short which were paid in advance. Also had a thief in the park that helped themselves to some of our camping equipment. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

My husband and I stayed at a cabin for a week in mid September. It was our second visit after two years ago, in May, using our camper. We remembered and recognized the staff and workers, and THEY REMEMBERED US! They were very friendly, helpful, and hard-working during our stay. They seemed very well dedicated to their work. Coming from Pennsylvania and not knowing locations of the area, they were very informative in their guidance. As for the cabin, it was very clean and self-sufficient. We would stay again.

Very nice people in office. The roads in the camp ground was in poor shape. Some people were living in their campers(full time) others were in and out in a few days. We got a smaller rv/Trailer spot. With the 28ft and one slide it was tight. You only had room for 1 car/truck at camp site. But there is a parking area on top of hill. Plenty of friendly dogs around. Location is perfect... right beside dollywood and near downtown... great church near by(the Rock)
