“Really nice parking and pad; some of the cleanest bathrooms I’ve experienced in my RV and camping life. The trolley schedule is not what I expected, but that’s on Pigeon Forge. Just putting it here so travelers can plan. Great campground. ❤️”

“During our recent visit to Tennessee, we stayed at The Gateway to the Smokies, opting for their A-frame cabin. The cabin itself is cozy but comfortable and impeccably clean. The grounds are nicely landscaped and harmonize perfectly with the natural surrounding (finding an RV/cabin site that is still surrounded by trees is hard to find!). The bathrooms were very clean and fully functional. Given the quality of our visit and the friendly and helpful staff, we will definitely plan on returning to this site. (An extra bonus is that it is only 10 minutes to Dollywood!)”

“What a wonderful campground!! I’m still amazed at how peaceful it is yet just 1/2 mile to the parkway. One would never guess!!
The campground is lovely, quiet, well-maintained and manicured. There is a good number of trees and a nice amount of space between sites. We had a concrete pad, picnic table, and fire ring. Wifi was decent. The lady at the front desk was very nice.
We have a 30′ Class C and stayed four days (Fri – Tues). Hook-ups (Water, Power, sewer) were easily accessible. We did not use the bathroom facilities but we did check out the game room that had a pool table (bring change if you want to play), a video game, and I can’t remember what else. 🤦🏼♀️ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.”

“Nice out of the way place. Had laundry facilities & I was so glad for that because it rained 3 days out of the week that we were there.”

“We camped here and loved this place! It is very close to everything but still secluded enough for privacy at the camp site. Restrooms/showers were cleaned daily. The free trolley stops right at the campground! 10 minute drive from Dollywood and 15 minute drive from Ripleys aquarium. Friendly people working at the office and all neighbors we met camping there were very nice as well. We will definitely camp here again!”

“My daughter and I stayed in the A-frame for her spring break. We loved the campsite. The bathrooms were clean with a heater. The A-frame had a/c and gray. The employees were very nice and customer service friendly.”
