Mark is a very nice host. The rv space he created was perfect for our passing through, or we would’ve stayed longer if our trip allowed the time. Good stop, do recommend.

I am just sad that it was raining the majority of our stay. Would have loved to sit by the fire watching the sun set over the mountains. The hot tub was amazing and I would have loved more time in it. Mark was very nice, helpful with backing in, and informative on things to see in the area. Definitely stopping back here on travels again! 😁

The campground was nice and well kept. Bath house was clean. There were a lot of motorcyclists staying this weekend, I think it’s because of the campground location. Site 25 was right and had a stump in the middle of it, but we called the office (even after hours) and they helped me get situated in another site that better accommodated us. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this campground to a friend!

Sharing a spot with Mark was nice. We stayed 5 nights. Upon arrival he met us and introduced himself. He is very pleasant and welcoming. He had a map of the Smokies and his wifi info. Which came in handy because there is zero phone service there ( emergency calls only) which is fine. We were on vacation. You will have wifi as provided. He had a ton of fire wood stocked. The hot tub was hot and ready to go with a ton of jets. We loved the hot tub under the stars. We never saw Mark , except for upon arrival and when we were heading out. Which was really nice.

A small creek flows nearby, and the site offers perfect privacy. The restroom and shower facilities are clean and well maintained. I would love to visit again if I get the chance.

Very nice quiet campground. It was clean with roomy sites. The bath houses were kept clean and tidy. The hosts were wonderful to work with! We had vehicle problems on the way down and had to come a couple days late and they were extremely accommodating throughout the whole process. 10/10 would recommend!

The campground was quiet,with friendly residents. The full service sites are packed in pretty tight. But it didn't hamper our enjoyment. They do have water/ electric only .sites adjacent to a creek. Very nice

The site was great, beautiful view and I was able to back in with no problems - which I was worried about because I am bad at it!! Mark is a great host and checked on us a few times to make sure we were OK.

From the first minute Mark was there to help with our set up and great ideas for our visit to the Great Smokey NP. Full hookup was a blessing and the hot tub was magical. This would be my top pick for Hipcamp of the year.

The host was very nice and helpful. We booked this site last minute it saved our little vacation. This site is in a driveway technically but it was very level and clean. Even with it being in the driveway it still felt pretty private with the space provided. There is a bit of road noise with the roads right around the area. There also some roosters down the road that are pretty loud early in the morning.

Marks place was a pleasure to stay at. It is always nice to have full hookups when we stay so somewhere. The property is gorgeous,my dog loved it and mark was very accommodating. We had a couple family members come for a fire and mark joined in some conversation as well. We had a 40 foot toy hauler, it was a bit challenging arriving at night, but that wasn't the owners fault! Not much phone service there but excellent wifi. I highly recommend and will probably stay again when I'm in town
