Near Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Within a 60-minute drive from the Gatlinburg Welcome Center.

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 1 - The River Life

Site 1: beautiful view of the river and close to the bathhouse. I didn’t see a single person for the night I was there. Peaceful.

Site 3 - The River Life

It was a great secluded spot you would have never known was there! Right in the river! Close to many awesome hikes and attractions! Sadly I was just passing through on a cross country move, and it was raining... she can't do much about Mother Nature. I would love to return one weekend!

Site 7

Outstanding Camping Experience

Site 7 is an absolutely wonderful site! We loved it so much and already are planning on staying again. It is a little hard to navigate around and find your site, but Kelly was extremely helpful and responsive when I reached out for help finding our site. Couldn’t recommend this location any more!!

The Sydney

The Sydney was clean and ready when I got there. The bathhouse was clean also but be prepared for a steep set of stairs! Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate and the grounds were wet. I will definitely book again!

Site 1 - The River Life

Great Rive Side site

We stayed at site 1 with a small off road capable teardrop camper. Beautiful site right along the river. We were close to the bathhouse with toilets and shower. I loved the sound of the river, so peaceful. There was more road noise that I prefer but that gave nice access to things in the area and the river being right there was great. My husband would like to try for site 7 next time as he feels the fishing will be better at that spot. We drove about 15 minutes to do a Beautiful hike out to mouse falls, highly recommended if you like hiking. We will be back to River Life for sure.
