Love this place and will come next year. Staff and Campground were wonderful. Could not have asked for a nicer place stay!

Nice campground, friendly staff! Beautiful! I was shocked at the price of firewood though! 9.87$ for a very small bundle....??

Campgrounds are super nice and well maintained. Far apart enough from others to feel comfortable too. The restrooms were being renovated when we went, but the portable bathrooms were high quality with foot pedal sinks. Can’t complain about that.
Only gripe is that buying firewood in the campgrounds is $10 for 6 measly pieces of wood. Buy it from private vendors near the campground for way cheaper rates.

One of our most favorite national parks. Even though the park is undergoing sewage treatment updates ( restrooms are closed ) the services provided are excellent. The location of the park with all the natural elements are stellar. We hiked each day and sat along the various areas to simply take in the beauty. Every moment we stopped to listen to the stream helped soothe our minds. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We will see you next year !!!

Beautiful campground with a river running throughout that allows fishing and good night sleep. Located in the great Smoky mountains national park. Lots of wildlife and hiking trails in the area.

It was bad enough that there were no toilets to use. What's worse is that the restrooms were closed for the use of the faucets and mirrors. We found out only be complaining that they were open, but only for two hours a day. Add to that there are not even any electrical outlets available anywhere. Why not?
So we had to use portable toilets! They were pumped out each morning and washed down leaving them totally soaked with water to sit on and leaving the toilet paper wet and stuck to the wall. Would you want to sit on a soaking wet toilet seat?
By appearance of the grounds, you are either under staffed or don't care. The grass had not been cut and the grounds around the entire campground were cluttered with sticks.
Upon arrival, late at night, I could not read the map of the campground to know how to get to my site. A new Lexan shield needs to be installed replacing the one there which is glazed over so badly nothing behind it is legible.
Every National Park I have been to has posted the current weather report at the campground office. This was not done any of the 5 days I was there. There is no internet service and so there is no way to know what to expect weather-wise.
This could be a top notch campground with the spacious campsites and concrete pads but it fails miserably due to lack of maintenance.

Other than restrooms being closed for renovation, everything was great. Portable toilets were provided.
