    Mountaineer Campground - Access to the river from the campground

    From the moment we pulled up on the property... the hosts have bent over backwards to help out! The…read morevery nice couple that is running the place are eager to point out places of interest, nearby events that are happening, and even help out with a lost electrical cord until we could get a new one from town! Nestled in a little draw right near a small river, this place is pretty epic!! Check it out sometime....

    I recently stayed here for a week with my in-laws. I was taking my two dogs to the open field next…read moreto the campground and the host steps outside and yells at me to put them on a leash, I asked is this part of the campground and the host responded- I am not going to argue with you, you haven't used a leash in the campground. Mind you he waited until my husband returned to our camper. The property I was throwing the ball to them on wasn't part of the campground. He told me he was going to call the "owner", to which he did. Again, the host was the most disrespectful host I have ever dealt with. Yelling at someone will never be productive, especially when you yell at someone once their husband walks away. Man to man- there isn't access to the river at this site. Your dog cannot sit with you outside unless leashed. Without knowing any details maybe start with a simple question... is this a service animal?, might give you somewhere to start. There are to many locations that your dog will have better access to play around.

    Stayed at Lazy Daze campground, as we were meeting up with some family while they were on vacation…read moreand they had their RV at the campground. We stayed in the small cabins that they have at the campground. Now for what you pay to stay in the little cabin, you would be better off staying in a decent hotel for the same price. The cabins would be better suited for a Hobbit and even they would find them too small! The cabin has a VERY SMALL living room, which is also the kitchen and dining area. You have a futon, tiny table, kitchen sink, small fridge, microwave, small stove, some cabinets that have cups, pots, pans, plates and knife and forks. I do admit that the kitchen area was clean and tidy. There is also a small tv in there too. The bedroom and it is just the one bedroom, has just a double bed in it and that's it. There is a small sink in there that is to one side. the bathroom I could just get in there, has a toilet and opposite it is the shower. Honestly, I would rather have stayed in a nice hotel room, as the price we paid to stay here, we would have been much more comfortable. Although apart for being rather over priced for what you get, at least I got a good nights sleep in there. The campsite it's self is nice. The lots at the back of the campsite are the nicest, as they are right by the river. They have all the hookups you need for your RV. Also each lot has a covered table and benches for you to sit at. There is a onsite shower room, swimming pool and small game room for the kids. The lobby area does sell a few essential items that you can by, such as hygiene products and food but as the price is marked up considerably, you would still be better off driving down the road to the grocery store. This camp ground is located in a beautiful area in the Smoky Mountains and is not too far from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. All in all, if you stay at this camping ground, then stay using a RV, as you will get a better experience. If you do not have a RV, then stay at a hotel or just rent a nice cabin of your own and not one of the little huts.

    We stayed at Lazy Daze campground Oct 6-9. We were supposed to stay Oct 6-10. Our campsite was…read more#41. On the 7th, we noticed a wet spot at our campsite, which we did not think much of. Over the course of the next day, we noticed the wet spot would come and go and began to smell like sewage. The evening of the 8th, the spot became very bad and I notified staff. We then began to notice that our hookup from our camper to the campsite septic did not drain (and would overflow) and started to determine that there was a broken line and backup in the campground's system. The staff explained to us that it was because of many campers draining their tanks and that it was "normal" and would go away. Lazy Daze had their tank pumped on the 8th and the issue continued on the 9th at our site. We decided to leave as the site was unsafe - sewage was draining into our site - into our outside personal property - some of which we disposed of. I contacted the campground on the 12th to find a resolution. First, the campground said they would not provide a refund for the day that we did not stay. This is frustrating, as we left due to health concerns of the property. Secondly, they made a NEW reason as to why the issue occurred in the first place - rain early in the week, which did not happened - and can be proven looking at weather reports. In the end (10/16), I was able to obtain a refund for the site for one day (even though we had sewage issues our entire stay). Please keep in mind, they did not have any other sites open and nowhere else for us to relocate to - we were forced to stay in site 41. Lazy Dazes did not hold any responsibility for our damaged property. The sewage made it's way directly into the river, which is where many kids (including ours) were playing. Kids were riding bikes through the puddles of sewage, which did not have any signage of danger. On top of standard health concerns for humans, animals, and the environment, we have COVID which *SHOULD* add heightened concerned to any responsible business. In this case, I saw none.
