    We were “upgraded” to another camp spot but when we arrived another camper was set up in that “upgraded spot” no one told me that was happening and the people there were rude. Never heard from our host again. Place was full and everyone is close together so I felt like I had no privacy. Beautiful place. Lots of garage cans and the bathrooms were fine.

    The camping spots were very close together. There was dirt work being done while we were there so mornings weren’t quiet. The host was kind. Once more improvements are made I’m sure it will be a nice place.

    Larry was so kind, he made sure everything was laid out so your stay is perfect and as comfortable as can be. With a mix of shaded and sun lite spots you can pick the perfect place for your tent.

    Our 1 n8ght stay was very pleasant. We were there prior to listed checkin time, and Larry was very accommodating so we could unhook our 5th wheel and get to Silverwood. The site and property was very clean and well planned out as far as trailer / tent camping. We would highly recommend this camp and will certainly stay again.

    It was exactly as described. Spot #1 had the best shade of the RV spots, and it only got warm from about 5-7. I have a 20 ft trailer and fit just perfect. Larry was a pleasure to get to know and helpful, too! He takes good care of his property, and the bathroom was clean also. I saw deer including fawns and hawks from my site. It’s close to Silverwood and Farragut State park.

    We enjoyed our stay at Cardwell Spur! It was quite, peaceful and very close to silverwood theme park. The owner Larry, came by to greet us and ask us if there was anything needed. My daughter enjoyed riding her bike down the gravel road and their was plenty of open space for the boys to throw a football and run around. It was perfect for our needs.
