Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the Gatlinburg Welcome Center.
Off-leash friendly
Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
Our location is phenomenal we are an hour from Knoxville and Asheville and just about 1/4 mile off I-40. Right at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and 35 minutes from Gatlinburg about 40 minutes to Pigeon Forge (Dollywood), also about 45 minutes to Sevierville and one of my favorite Tanger Outlets!! The beautiful Smoky Mountains the National Park is filled with hiking trails and horse stables and trails. Some of the best white water rafting is less then 5 miles up the road along with zip lining and a lil taste of moonshine here and there. This property is primitive with no electric and has a camping style bathhouse. IT’s recommended for outdoor lovers and people that are not to needy. Site 7, 1 and 9 are the only direct riverfront.

Site 7
Best spot on the river
Ample space and a really awesome spot on the river. We were able to get our 21-ft fifth wheel in the site. YMMV especially dependent on recent weather. We were at site 1 two weeks prior and will keep coming back. Kelly is so friendly and enjoys being able to share her beautiful property with others that appreciate the gem that it is.

The river was right next to my site and the directions were clear and easy to understand. Nice place to spend a night; I wish I'd been able to stay longer.

The rushing river was excellent; loud in just the right way. Sites(7, 8 and 9) were moderately cramped(don't expect abundant privacy. Bugs were pretty intense close to the water in the evenings.

Beautiful and private! While there are other sites nearby, there was ample space making for a private stay. Kelly was exceptionally helpful. We can't wait to visit again.

Just as Advertised! Quiet, peaceful sounds of the river rolling by at night. Well maintained and easy to find! Would return again if in the area!

Site 10
We were drawn to this campsite by the stunning river, but unfortunately, our experience fell short. Lot 10, which we reserved based on the listed photos, was rocky and unsuitable for tents. Despite reaching out to the host multiple times, to move to another site, we received no response. All of the sites had trash from previous camper's as well. The river’s noise was a plus, but the road noise from the other side was disruptive. None of the sites matched their listing pictures. Overall, this could be a wonderful camping location with a little TLC.
