The campground has great camper spots and all the campers are so nice. I stayed in the cabins and they are also renovated with wonderful views of the lake. It is such a peaceful place away from the tourist traps of East Tennessee. OMG, did i mention they have boat rentals? We did kayaks one day and pontoon one day. It was fabulous and the staff were so eager to ensure we were taken care of. I would give it six stars if I could.

We are novices to boating but were very pleased with the boat provided. The lake had several coves to have fun in. We aren't use to not being able to drop an anchor, and there was a learning curve to successfully and safely stopping in a cove. They had decent food available and karaoke going that evening. I would do it again and definitely recommend.

This particular marina is horrible! It's run by a guy named Corey that manages the dry docks and…read moreslips. My boat has been at this Marina for a year in dry docks. They damaged my new wake boat several different times, each time I brought it to their attention. Corey threatened to kick me out of the marina stating my boat was too big. Yet he has other wake boats on there as well. They actually ripped a large hole in my $1,900 boat cover and refused to pay for a new one and again threatened to kick me out. As we know spaces are limited on Tellico lake. Well today I got a random call from Corey stating I need to pick up my boat immediately that it's just too big after a year. No notice, no 30 days, he gave me until the weekend to pick it up. Stated the boat will be in the water Saturday and they are done servicing me. It's important to note I paid to get my boat repainted and all the damage they caused at no charge to them! Apparently this marina has like 11 owners and no way to reach someone above him to complain to. Now I'm left scrambling to find a place to even store my boat in the middle of the summer. User be ware!

Servers were nice, although I feel it was a bit laid back (aka slow). We weren't in a rush, but it took a while for someone to take our order and at the end to get the check, and then have payment processed, etc.. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time after we placed our order. Nice to have entertainment which they have every weekend. It would be 5 stars really had we not sat so long before and after our meal.

She is a wealth of knowledge and very willing to help you however she is able. We rented a slip and it was in good condition and our boat was safe. Convenient trailer parking. One word of caution: if launching/retrieving on Fri or Sat, the parking lot gets very full and it's difficult to navigate a trailer through. And, last but not least, Jimmy's restaurant is one of the best on the entire lake (separate review of Jimmy's). Highly recommend this marina!

DO NOT RENT A BOAT FROM THIS MARINA!!! They are very rude to their customers and do not care about…read morekeeping customers. We rented a pontoon boat 7/20/26 and paid for them to deliver the boat to our lake house that we rented. I was told by Kennedy that the boat would be dropped off 9am-8pm.( time is in the signed contract) We tried to contact the marina multiple times because the boat wasn't dropped off. No answer. There were 12 of us waiting for the boat to arrive at our dock 8 adults, 4 kids(1yr, 3yr, 6yr, 8yr) At 10 am still no boat so a few of us drove down to the marina(wasting boat time and gas $$) to see what the issue was. The very rude manager(Autumn) stated she did not know until that morning that she had to deliver a pontoon to us. (THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM) I booked this rental AND PAID FOR IT ALONG WITH THE DELIVERY CHARGE 7/6/26($538.06 FOR 1 DAY) and had a reservation number. Autumn also claimed she answered our phone calls but couldn't hear us. I could not believe she is arguing with a customer. The boat finally arrived at 10:45am and was told they were late because they had to use our rental pontoon and gas to pick up another boat which was past our lake rental house. The boat had a 1/2 tank of gas which I have a picture of. I was also told the gas gauge was not accurate. Really?????Autumn told me the gauge was full when they left the marina.(Maybe it was but they used the gas to pick up another boat which was past our house.) Autumn didn't seem to understand this or even care. I was billed $48 for gas when they picked up the boat. We put $80(have the receipt) in gas in the boat but since the gas gauge wasn't working they could rip me off. Please everyone out there reading this RENT FROM ANOTHER MARINA!!! THIS BUSINESS ONLY CARES ABOUT MAKING MONEY OFF PEOPLE!!! It seems this same situation happened 6/29/24 which I just read in a review. You would think this operation would have learned from this 2 years ago but they really do not want to keep their customers happy. Terrible business!!!!Very unorganized if they didn't know they had to deliver a boat until the morning when the rude manager came in.
