Weekend Trip to Harmony hollow

Harmony Hollow was a cute and comfortable weekend getaway. The campground is close to the parkway but set back so it feels like you're in a remote area. You can hear the traffic noise, but the road isn't really visible from the campsites. Harmony Hollow campground is essentially a big field with 3-4 campsites around the outside and a big open space in the middle. You will definitely see your neighbors unless you hike out to set up a primitive site on the property, but if you do then you will likely be visited by the horses. The bathhouse with toilet, shower and sink was a nice amenity. There was no toilet paper supplied but thankfully we brought our own. The shower is not well lit so bring a lantern if you want to shower after dark. The firewood shed was not stocked, but it is the end of the season so perhaps not much demand.

We really only slept here! But it was very pretty and quiet despite proximity to the road. It was super accessible from Gatlinburg/PF. The toilet/shower was great! We did worry we were bothering the people in the little cabin each time we started the pump. We noticed upon our arrival the firewood area wasn’t stocked, but some time over that first night wood appeared. The two little solar-powered lights in our site did not work, and none of the tiki torches would light. Something splashed around in the creek a couple times, but no crazy wildlife encounters.

My family of 4 and I enjoyed our stay at this property (4 year old and 8 year old included!) The property is 5 minutes or less from a Family Dollar and a Walmart market but is back off the main road far enough you don’t feel like you’re in the busy of everything. My kids loved the swing, hammock and being able to just run around all where we could keep an eye on them. You’re within 15 minutes (on a busy day) to Dollywood and Splash Country

We loved camping here! Everything was straightforward and it was a very peaceful place to spend the night on a road trip. We hung out on the hammock next to the creek for a bit which was very relaxing. I would definitely go back and stay again if I pass through!

Good campfire, close to town so it isn't inconvenient, it is well set up and clean which was nice. We were the only site with campers the night that we stayed there, if there had been multiple more sites filled it may have felt a little cramped. Well designed though and I would stay again.

This is a fantastic Hipcamp. The deck over a small creek was our favorite part...lots of hummingbird action! The hosts, Sue & Roy helped us park and were super friendly and helpful in pointing us in good directions for local trails & swimming spots. We hope to be back soon!

This land is really beautiful, and the owners brought us firewood when the shed was empty. It was great having a toilet and shower on the premises, and very lovely to see the horses running next to camp. Peace park is on a pretty severe slope so tent spots are limited, but otherwise great spot!

Great spot to "Get Away". I would suggest that if you are a novice at pulling a trailer you select a different spot. Road is narrow and winding. I also suggest you approach from the southwest so you are facing the right direction to back in and to avoid having to turn around. If you come from the other direction, there is a church about 1/2 mile past the site that is small but should work to turn around. We didn't have enough sewer hose to reach the drain as it is all the way in the back, but not a big issue for us. We arrived empty and were only there for 2 nights.

We enjoyed our stay. It was pretty quiet. Nobody bothered us. There is traffic on the road but you don't feel like people are looking at you. Not really any views like you would expect in the mountains, but the bubbling brook is relaxing to sit beside. The road has wide shoulders so walking the dogs was easy as long as you don't mind uphill.

Super peaceful area while still being close to town, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay down here. Smells clean in the area, and the crick and horses beside the campsite are a nice addition.

We loved the outdoor shower and how beautiful the area was. The hosts left books to read and games . Our daughter loved the hammock. Hopefully next time we will get to see the horses ❤️ will definitely be back. Hopefully earlier enough to be able to meet the hosts .
