This was our first family camping trip. We had high hopes going into it. When we got there it was…read moreeasy to check in and the staff was very friendly. I will just list out the pros and cons. Our spot was premium tent site 102. Pros: bathrooms are nice and clean Has a swimming pool and tube rental for the river Farm with animals Right on the river Hay rides and rides to drop you off to tube down as many times as you want. Staff was friendly. Convenient to mountains and Cades Cove Cons: they listed our area as a premium tent site with electric water and sewer. We were sandwiched in between several rvs and did not have a view of anything but rvs. The campsites are very close together and narrow. Feels crowded in your own space The place to put the tent was jagged gravel rocks no grass. There was a metal tent stake left in the ground that ended up poking a hole in our air mattress. Bc we were on rocks this pushed us to go home and sleep for the night as we are local. The pool is nice but the pool area is in the middle of a field and has absolutely no shade or bathroom close by. The four chairs they had were run down and one broken. This is not ideal for having kids that may need to use the potty or need some shade for a min. No grills only fire pits If I could suggest anything to the owners it would be the following Add pictures of each campsite so that when someone is going to book they know exactly what their site looks like and know what to expect. This would help to book a better spot for your needs. Add a porta potty or bathroom closer to the pool. Also add some shade and chairs. Double check the sites before check in. Had that stake been pulled up before we arrived it wouldn't have damaged our air mattress resulting in us having to leave for the night and come back. Add charcoal grills for cooking.

At my arrival, the office mistakenly saved my debit card information under the wrong customer file…read moreand charged my card. When I brought this to their attention, I was assured that my card information would be removed from the incorrect account and that the issue had been resolved. Despite those assurances, my debit card was charged again. This second charge occurred after I had already notified the staff of the mistake and after I was specifically told that my card information would be deleted. As a result, I spent a significant portion of my vacation dealing with a problem that should never have happened in the first place. Not only did these errors create financial stress and inconvenience, but they also ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation. I trusted your staff to correct the mistake after it was first reported, and unfortunately that trust was misplaced when my card was charged again. I believe it is unreasonable for me to bear the consequences of repeated errors made by the office, particularly after I had notified you of the problem and received assurances that it had been corrected. For these reasons, I respectfully requested a refund and I was denied and told that it was my banks fault for letting the transactions to occur. They won't take accountability and refuse to work with me. This was my debit card that was charged and over $400 and was on hold for a total of 8 days. My bank cancelled my card. Just one headache after another because of all of this. I feel as though they should've accommodated me seeing how their actions and failure to pay attention caused all of this.

At $500 for 4 nights in the off season, one would have expected enough room for our truck and 29' RV to fit on the spot. The pads are also very small, only enough room for a couple of chairs by the RV. The picknick table was on the gravel. Not enough room to put out our carpet without being on the gravel.

So I am so grateful that I am here at this beautiful campground in the Smoky Mountains with Dave, Freckles and the Monster (our newer rv almost a year old). We escaped the smoke from Lancaster PA to the Shenandoah Valley and arrived here for 4 days. The air is so crisp and clean and everything is so green. We went to Cades Cove this morning and saw two bear cubs and a barn owl. I am so lucky to be able to enjoy this special time at Big Meadow!

We also really enjoyed the hiking trail at the back of the campground. Our 2 interactions with camp store staff were very pleasant, and we met a lot of nice guests here too. Very quiet, clean, and well-maintained with lots of entertainment areas and community spaces available. It's so close to the national park and other off-site adventures, but you could easily have a stay-cation here and never leave! Wi-fi is included and worked great. One tip - if you plan to cook over the fire, get plenty of firewood because their fire pits are quite deep and the cooking grate height cannot be adjusted. Our kids are already asking when we can go back!

We booked this KOA online for five days using the app (it doesn't get any easier), we arrived and…read morethe staff greeted us and took us to our site I requested a site change and they accommodated, after setting up camp I found my satellite didn't have a clear view of the sky due to the number of trees over hanging my satellite receiver I didn't expect them to cut down the tree so again I requested a different site and again they accommodate me (the 3rd site was better but didn't really accomplish what I hoped for). I liked the campground and listed some of the pros and cons I experienced none were deal breakers I'd camp here again but probably request the site I want before booking. It seems the reviews are a mix of reviews prior to KOA ownership so like everything else things evolve over time, we had a pleasant experience although I'm not sure when the transition from private to corporate completed. Pros: 1. A very attentive staff that patrols the property and ready to help 2. A wonderful camp store stocked with just about everything you need including gasoline and propane and a penny smashing machine. 3. Great Cable TV 4. Great WiFi 5. Close proximity to the crystal clear Little River with easy access for tubing or kayaking. 6. Close proximity to all the amenities of Townsend and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park 7. Nice pool and playground for kids and far enough away from the sites 8. Camp Staff will deliver firewood and ice (maybe more stuff if you ask) to your campsite and apply it to your account. 9. Very little light pollution once the sun sets 10. It was relatively quite after dark. 11. Great water pressure 12. Doesn't seem to be longterm residential sites Cons: 1. The campsites are very close together not much privacy here. 2. The neighbor's sewer connections are in very close proximity to your patio area instead of been on the back side of the sites where the electrical and fresh water connections are located. 3. It's likely your satellite dish won't work 4. All gravel camp sites (most have concrete patios though)

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.
