We rented a Lookout Loft Cabin last week, it was our first visit to the park. Our grandsons ages…read more10 and 13 absolutely loved it. I was impressed at how well the park was maintained, everything was clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and helpful in meeting our needs. The mountain coaster was great fun. The kids loved the wi-bit obstacle course at the lake and the sports courts. I loved driving the golf cart we rented around the park because the views of the Blue Ridge Mountains were beautiful. It also made me feel like a kid again to see Yogi, Cindy and BooBoo bears roaming around the park. I recommend this as a good wholesome family vacation that won't break the bank.

They have gorgeous spots right on the river and I could hear the river as I slept and it was so soothing!! The owners are wonderful people and really want campers to enjoy every aspect of their stay. They came out when we came in to help us back camper in our spot. It's very close to town like 5 min drive but felt out in country. Our spot had a picnic table and fire pit. They have a pretty good size bath house with vending machines and at as use washers and dryers which would be good for long stays! Shower stalls were individual bathrooms for privacy .. updated and very clean. We came before Halloween and it had decor for the holiday.. you could stay in camper, they had cabins, and tepees for unique stay. Most were damaged by storm but will be ready for following year. I thought that was really interesting.. i read reviews from previous years about wifi being terrible but we didn't have that issue. We didn't really spend all day at campground we came to see and spend time in the area so we were only using wifi at night and in morning with coffee. I would highly recommend this campground.. it was a great stay and I hated to leave.

We loved its quietness, the river, and its nearness to The Smokies. We had no problems with the staff. We have a 29ft bumper pull and portions of the campsites felt tight. However there were campers of all sizes there. The campground has laundry ($5 wash and dry per load). There were rumors when we left that they were changing to a long term park only but I hope this is not true. It is a great RV Park for its location.

I have been here for three months now during the winter and I have come to know the owner and her…read moreson, Joni and (30? Year old son) William quite well. As they become comfortable with your stay, they become increasingly hostile over seriously nothing. A simple question about Wi-Fi or anything will elicit screams and hollers and even hanging up on you. Joni even yelled at my DoorDash driver who was still parked in my driveway. She has owned this campground for 28 years as she will remind you time and time again. In my opinion it's time to retire. She is burnt out and the most unhappiest woman I have ever met. This is not exclusive to me, but all of my neighbors as well. They are terrified of her. I think I'm the only one to stand up to her outbursts and not take her sh*t. The more scenic sites are at a 45° angle so be prepared to back your RV in up at that angle. Please know that if there is any rain, you will be quite easily stuck at your site due to slick mud and clay and ancient, well embedded gravel that is no longer helpful for your RV and vehicle. My Expedition was stuck just pulling into my drive, if that tells you anything. There are so many other great RV sites such as Tuckaseegee (River & Rails), Great Smoky Mtns RV resort, and the Great Outdoors ($$$$). There is no reason to deal with the hostility here. Hope this helps.

Definitely keeping this spot as a go-to.
