Amazing waterfall views. Great family camping spot with room for everyone. Tents and campers have plenty of spots to set up. Very secluded yet close to things you may have forgotten.

My family and I stayed at campsite number one. The scenery is beautiful and the whole park is very clean and well laid out. We loved that there was a good amount of space and privacy between the sites. The creek is very soothing and beautiful. It was very convenient having seasoned firewood and fresh farm eggs available to purchase on site. The eggs were delicious and the chickens greet you every time you walk to the bathhouse. Speaking of the bath house it was very clean and the showers were nice and hot with plenty of water pressure. There is an ingles 11 minutes away to stock up on food. There is also a beautiful easy trail 6 minutes away called Tessentee bottomlands preserve. Adam was a very welcoming and attentive host. I would definitely suggest this campground for anyone looking to have a peaceful, private camping experience.

Site 1 is beautiful. It sits right on the edge of the creek. The sounds of the water flowing over the rocks nearby were so peaceful. The property is quiet and well-maintained. The bathhouse was exceptionally clean, and the showers have fantastic water pressure. Owners are very nice and came out to say hello to us. Ten out of ten, and am already planning a return trip for the springtime.

What a beautiful campground! All four campsites are by the creek providing mother nature’s perfect lullaby for a peaceful night of sleep. The availability of seasoned firewood on site is so convenient. Bathrooms with three toilets and three showers are great. I can’t wait to return!

We've been waiting for so long for our trip to Waterfall Heaven, and when our time to pack was getting closer, the weather was showing rain for the whole week we were supposed to be there... That was a little discouraging because we camp with 8 dogs and 2 crazy boys in a tent and I was worried everything will be way too wet and dirty and cold but I was not going to let this gem of a place go 😂 and what an amazing beautiful and serene place this spot is! The weather didn't matter, we had fun and the boys were in the water every day (even in 48°f), the dogs had so much space to run and sniff and explore and we even got a chance to do some activities in nearby towns (Stumphouse Tunnel in nearby city of Wallhala, SC and Foxfire Museum near the campsite was amazing)!
What saved us was the fact we were able to put our 10x18 tent under the huge wooden gazebo right by the waterfall (you need to remove the tables first and they are heavy!) and that kept our tent dry inside and out. The cooking area under the smaller gazebo was perfect for us preparing meals in the rain (we've put one of the tables there and were able to stay dry while eating).
The hike up the hill to see the bigger waterfall is worth the view and not having cellphone reception or internet at the campsite was the best break I secretly wished for 😂
We have another trip booked in March 2026 and I'm hoping I'll be able to also score a week in summer 2027! Thank you DeeDee for having us!

Perfect days with the pack at the idyllic setting of Coweeta Creek Campground. The personal touches made us feel welcomed; planted flowers exploding with color, a clutch of chickens, and rustic outbuildings added to the personality of this need to return to spot. Days spent looking at deer and sitting next to a babbling brook reading and doing yoga, interspersed with walking dogs on Turkey trail and around the property, is fondly etched into my memories. Well cared for campground in a beautiful setting, Coweeta Creek is top drawer.

The location is very convenient to the National Park, the main drag of Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg. We spent 3 nights here with two full days devoted to exploring the park. We enjoyed the full hookups for our Class B van and took advantage of the shower rooms. It is compact but very quiet - perhaps surprisingly so. Great value overall.

Fantastic place to stay. Area is well kept by the owners. Fall asleep to the sound of the river. This place is large and can handle a very large group or you can have it all to yourself. There is a hike up the hill to a beautiful waterfall. It's not an easy path, but it's worth it. Highly recommend this camp, you won't regret it!

I’ve been bringing my family here for the past few years, and it’s a great property that we always look forward to returning. Dee Dee and her son maintain the property well (grass is always cut, trees appear safe, and shelter and bathrooms are always clean), and I’ve never been disappointed with our stay. Word to the wise: If you have a camper you might want to park up top vs next to the bathrooms, because the apple tree you park under will drop palm-sized apples on your roof in the Fall.

I love that the kids can run around and play safely. The creek can be played in safely for the kids. It is a great place to camp and relax and spend time together. Thank you for keeping it so well maintained -and providing a soccer ball when you saw my son using a dodgeballs at the goals. Already looking forward to our next camping trip there!

If you're looking for a no-frills yet convenient place to stay while exploring the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area, Holy Smokies Campground might be just what you need. This small, low-key campground has all the essentials for a pleasant stay, including full hookups, level sites, and clean, new shower facilities. While there aren’t fire pits available, each site features a table and chairs, perfect for enjoying the great outdoors and unwinding after a day of adventures.
One of the standout features of Holy Smokies is the seamless arrival process. Before our trip, we received a text detailing our assigned site along with door codes for the shower houses and laundry. There was no need for a traditional check-in, which made our experience even more smooth and hassle-free.
Upon arrival, we encountered a minor issue with the water at our site. However, reaching out to the Host proved to be easy; they arrived promptly and resolved the issue in minutes. It's clear that the Hosts are dedicated to improving the campground and ensuring guests have an enjoyable stay.
We were assigned Site 2, conveniently located near the access road. While this meant occasional noise and headlights, the campground has installed a privacy fence that mitigates some of those disturbances. The site is level and offers a mix of partial to full sun.
Recommended for a budget friendly, convenient location to local attractions.

We absolutely love this place!! We have been twice now and this last time we took friends with us and they were blown away. We will definitely be planning a third trip soon to take our grandchildren. The seclusion, the waterfall, right outside of town, it's all great!

This was my second time at the campground. It was better than before…. Fresh raised eggs and honey were amazing. Melissa was probably the best host I have ever had in all my travels. She is as kind as a cool summer breeze . If you need anything she’s got it for you, so if you’re ever around the Franklin area, stay a couple nights and enjoy the fresh breakfast! A 10 in my book.
