Very rude people to deal with. Only do monthly rentals now. Don't know who runs this place but they need to go.

We loved our 4 nights at River Valley Campground. You have to call and make reservations and had to sent a check with our deposit. 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. read more

Unfortunately I can't recommend this campground which is a shame because it is on a beautiful stretch of river. However, the staff is downright grumpy all.. the.. time.. Makes for a most unpleasant stay. I'm not talking about a group that is rowdy or makes a lot of noise. I'm talking about normal camping, slow driving, etc. read more

Not too sure how you stay away from evolution in your business, but "just come on up" isn't going to fly because you don't want to take reservations and being cash only; having no way to secure a spot my family we won't be driving your way to gamble on a spot as you're 4 hours away! P.S. I've been calling for 2 days and finally got the phone to ring as it's off the hook most of the time... an answering machine would do wonders... but that's evolving and the abrupt lady on the phone isn't going to do that. read more

The river section to this campground is great! Most of the sites are leveled. The trout fishing here I wouldn't say it's by far the best area to fish at but it definitely does produce some fishes which is a great plus! The bathrooms are always kept clean and there's even a little game room area and a small gas station you can walk to! The only criticism i have is that although this place is beautiful in nature, it definitely feels like you're camping inside of a "park" in a forest with a bunch of other people sectioned off in squares side by side. This is not a primitive site nor feels anything like it so if that's what you're looking for, I would suggest you skip on this one but if you are just looking for a great place to just bunker down and camp at, this is a great option! read more

This campground will not take reservations less than a month out. Tried to call two weeks from arrival day and they would not take a reservation. They do not accept credit cards. Cash or money order only. Not sure how you can stay in business these days without accepting credit cards. Really wanted to stay here but moved on to greener pastures. read more

We've been camping here since the early 70's. We've saw most all the changes thru the years and they've all been for the better. They have a small game room a laundry with new machines and dryers. The showers house is always clean. Most all sits are level and CLEAN. They do have nice up to date tables and fire rings at each site. They stock the river a couple times a week on the reservation. The staff and campers are friendly and if you like talking they're there. They have cable TV that's getting better each year. They only accept cash at the window. You need to make a reservation mainly in the peak seasons. THE ONLY DOWN SIDE YOUR CELL IS A HIT AND MISS AND THE WIFI IS NOT THE GREATEST. read more

Stay away! First off I do a lot of camping and take my golf cart with me to get around the campground. They don't allow golf carts even though the owners have golf carts and drive around the campground. Guess no one else is competent enough. Second they don't take credit cards. Would have been nice if they had told us when we made reservations. Third the management( older man on golf cart) threatened to evict us on the first night for being too loud even though it wasn't quiet time. The second night some older lady on a golf cart came and told us to turn our music down and our music wasn't on. It was the camper across the street from us. Got no apology for her mistake. I could go on but you get the idea. Save yourself a headache. Stay away! read more

Nice little campground, good and bad. Pros: nice location, lots of trees for shade. Bathrooms were clean. Cons: They only accept cash, so we had to overnite a cashiers check (which is a PIA for full time RVers) to hold reservation. Trees dripped sap (huge drops!) all over us and RV. Showers were tiny, could not sit on bench provided as knees would hit opposing wall. Shower curtain only half as wide as opening, so you must decide which side water will splash out. Office apparently has their telephone set up to ring very loud (so they can hear it anywhere in park?), had to listen to their phone ringing every few minutes, all day long, every day. Upon returning to our site once the mgr came screaming up to us demanding to know "what maniac came flying thru the park". Then she says "we usually evict people for that kind of driving". I was in a Class A, towing a trailer, speed bumps every 100 feet, how fast could I have been going? I estimate my speed was 5-7 mph. At first I thought she was joking, then I was shocked to learn she was addressing me! Will never go back, don't like being bitched out and threatened for driving very slow. read more

A very nice campground, in a great location. I will recommend this campground to anyone. This is greener pasture. Camped there years ago when my kids were small and now with grandkids. We have always been treated well here and the facilities are very adequate. Met lots of nice people there . read more

I am the daughter of one of the long time customers of this campground. My mother and father have been going to this campground for about 17 years. They are getting older , so my husband and I have to help them haul their camper up to this campground and set it up 3 times a year...yes they have stayed there every may , July, and October for many years. They have made some wonderful friends there. My father and the owner had a disagreement in July. Now, I am not going to go into too much detail about the whole situation, but I will report what I just experienced ....which was unbelievable. We pulled in to get set up and as we were visiting with all the other campers the owner pulled up on her golf cart and begins to have a very open conversation about this disagreement. In front of everyone right there at their campsite. She was being very rude and confrontational, right in front of everyone. Now, whether she is right about their disagreement , or my father is right is not the point here. The point here is how rude and unprofessional she was to my family. Needless to say, after 17 years, and many friendships later, my mother and father left today. Pulled the camper right out and will not be going back. If they will do this to a 17 year customer....imagine how they will treat you. This campground is very nice and I am sure you would love your visit there. We have stayed there with them over last several years and have had a great time. But the problem is the business is not run very professionally if the owner is willing to embarrass her customers in that way. read more
