    S'mores time.
    Heidy M.

    A Under Canvas visit had been on our list for some time. We were on a small road trip from Atlanta and decided to stay here. It was about 4 hours from Atlanta and about 3.5 from Nashville with stops for food and gas. It was perfect in every way and as advertised. There is zero cell phone reception / wifi and it felt great to disconnect from the world for a few days. This location felt like we were so far away from everything, yet we were only about 30 minutes aways from the fun of Gatlinburg. We went out and explored the nearby attractions in the day, went hiking and then returned in the late afternoon. Our tent was perfect, king bed was very comfortable, warm and we had our own private bathroom. I would suggest showering in the communal showers as it has heaters and is much warmer than the tent. The tent did have its own fire oven but it's not enough to keep you warm when showering. We had lanterns in our tent, a chair and a porch with a few chairs. The staff here does go above and beyond for anything you need making you feel like you're at a five star resort. The staff will make sure your heaters are started and warm for your arrival and keep them going if you're not comfortable doing it. We loved coming back to our warm and cozy tent after hiking in the Great Smoky's. S'mores at the fire pit at night, live music in the lobby, canvas painting sessions and fresh made to order food at the kitchen starting at 7am. Fresh coffee,hot cocoa and tea available all day in the lobby. We really had a great time here and plan to visit other locations next summer. I highly recommend a night or two here and it's definitely family friendly, all the kids we came across looked to be having a great time. Enjoy!

    Glamping in the Smokies and remote fine dining has arrived! We found this local glam camp while looking at some other locations for vacation. We hopped into the car and headed over to have some dinner with them during their soft open. We had a delicious vegetable rich meal, and toured the yurt like platform tents. My child ate the asparagus. It was a pretty hip environment. We took a gravel road to get there, but it will be paved by the spring 2019 open. This unique place of respite is worth checking out. *They are closed for the winter, and will reopen in the Spring.

    The best sleep I've had in years surrounded by beautiful Mother Nature herself. This place was beyond what I expected, my husband, son and I enjoyed the outdoor games, complimentary s'mores, delicious food, and friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

    Well, I did my research and this is definitely the campground where this happened. To be clear,…read morethis is the park located at 2479 Riverbend Loop, Unit 1, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863, just off of Henderson Chapel Road. This is the location with the central fishing pond that has the small island in the middle, the decorative 'old-timey' outhouse, and the little cabin where you sign in and they sell merchandise. I was here with my family around Winter 2019-2020. I was on my evening walk and saw a campground worker driving a golf cart up the steep hill. There was a family and their kids watching him drive recklessly. As he went around the bend and came back down, he hit a slope and the whole golf cart flipped over. The cart was headed straight for me; I could have stepped aside and let it crash, but I decided to be a nice person and save the cart from hitting people below. I stopped the cart and parked it. As I walked towards the worker to check if he was ok and see if I could help, his pants fell down, and the nearby family started pointing and laughing at him. The worker was a white male, about 6ft tall, heavyset with a scruffy beard. Later that night, while I was out taking pictures of the fireworks, he and a friend--a tall, skinny white male with long black hair about 6ft 2in--drove their golf carts past me at alarming speeds, flipped me off, and called me the N-word. I was only a freshman in high school at the time and was in a daze at what I had seen. I haven't had a lot of incidents like this so you can imagine my reaction. I called the office to report this, and the woman I spoke to was dismissive and tried to claim they don't have an island in their pond or that I have the wrong park. She even tried to claim I described a 'young man' when I never did--I specifically described a 6ft, heavyset man with a beard at the time that I was tell her this which is funny because he was a young man and thus proving my point that she knows exactly who he is. I know exactly where I was because of the specific layout of the island and the office cabin at this address. If these men are still employed here, they should be terminated. No guest, especially a teenager, should be subjected to racial slurs and harassment by staff.

    Great quiet place to stay right outside the hustle and bustle. No pool or bathrooms but the river…read morelulls you to sleep at night and the ducks and geese as well as the people are friendly

The amenities were top-notch--from the pool and lazy river to the arcade and so much more. There are endless options to keep the kids entertained while also providing a great atmosphere for parents to relax and unwind. We made some wonderful family memories and would definitely recommend staying here!

This is a big operation. Lot's of staff, well organized and run, and it offers plenty of amenities. Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, this resort blends the rugged charm of camping with the laid-back spirit of Margaritaville. We stopped by with a group of 100 RVers for a multi-day rally. This place is big enough to accommodate large groups. RVers will find premium sites designed for comfort and convenience. Spacious pads, full hookups, and stunning mountain views set the tone. And whether you're here for a short weekend or an extended stay, you'll appreciate the outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and modern bathhouses thoughtfully scattered throughout the grounds. But the offerings don't stop at great RV amenities. The resort is bursting with ways to fill your days. Families can splash away at the water park, complete with a lazy river and two-story slide. Meanwhile, the hot tub and private cabanas call to those craving downtime. Hungry? The on-site Fins Bar & Chill serves island-inspired meals you can enjoy with a cocktail by the pool. Or, grab something casual at the coffee shop when you're in a hurry to hit the hiking trails. Speaking of adventures, you're in the ideal spot to explore Pigeon Forge. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just minutes away, offering countless trails, streams, and scenic overlooks. Or, stick closer to home with a visit to Dollywood or The Island, both just a short trip from the resort. What makes this place truly special, though, is the atmosphere. It's lively yet peaceful, a mix of energy and calm that feels just right. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or towing along your four-legged friend (yes, it's pet-friendly), Camp Margaritaville caters to all kinds of explorers. For RVers looking for more than just a stopover, this resort is a destination in its own right. We didn't get any pix -- we were too busy socializing. But see our separate review of the nearby Old Mill Restaurant.

I cannot walk to my camper door without walking through 6 inches of water, much less sit outside and enjoy an evening of camping with my kids and dogs. I called to talk to the front desk and they said it will recede. Seriously? None of the sites around us have standing water. This site has a drainage issues and it needs to be fixed before someone else has to suffer through staying here. Do not stay on site 82. Update. The pool is nothing like pictured. It looks to be like 20 years old with no maintenance ever. The lazy river has about 5 tubes available to use and it's 95 degrees in there. The gym was closed due to air conditioning issues There is no dog wash anymore even though it shows it on the map. We tried to ask for more stone on our site and they ignored our request. They never even sent maintenance by. Do not stay at this sun outdoors. This is the worse campground I have stayed at in a long time.

    The campground is nice in some ways and aggravating in others…read more The sites seem to be wide. Plenty of room between you and your neighbors. Full hookup is great with no problems. Plenty of water pressure. On to the negative- I've not seen any one of authority come through and enforce rules. No security. We're dog owners and our pups stay on a leash and remain quiet. If you don't mind dogs barking everywhere then this is your place. The gravel sites need to be cleaned up. I think I have found our fire ring over in the weeds. A lot of trash all over our site. The pool area was nice, but this is too big of a campground for one pool area. Very crowded and plenty of adults at the pool using vulgar language around our kiddos. There could also be more benches in the play area for us parents who actually supervise our children. In conclusion, we like our spot. It is very trashy. Buts of garbage everywhere. The fire-pit ring is thrown off in the weeds. A lot could be done to make this place nicer. Straighten up the gravel sites. Spray down the weeds growing though the gravel. Fill in the mud holes from people's driving though the grass. This will be our one and only trip to this campground. Updated** Another example- Our last day, there were some adults at the pool. The conversation told us, these people aren't even staying here. They live up the interstate and come just to swim all day. If we had some kind of staff to check on things, this place would be much nicer and better for the paying campers. A positive is there are a lot of children and it's nice to hear them outdoors and playing.
