Ellis Cove

Enjoyed our stay at site 0009. The site was level and facing the field that lead to the relaxing river. You can't see the river but can hear it from the site. The river is a slight walk across the field which the grass was a little high due to recent rain. We watched birds in late afternoon and June bugs fly above the grass in the early morning. There was a nice group fire pit. It was so peaceful except for the occasionally loud vehicle going up the hill on the road on the other side of the river (trees block the majority of the road.) I have already recommended to a friend and hope to come back one day. Two days wasn't enough time.

Awesome family getaway

7 m travel trailer · With kids ·

Ellis Cove provided the perfect backdrop for our family getaway! We were so impressed with the spaciousness of the campsites, which made our stay feel comfortable and uncrowded. What truly made this trip special for our children was the proximity to the Little Pigeon River. They were in their element, from the simple joy of skipping rocks to excitedly splashing and even trying out some fun tubing. Beyond the campground, we also appreciated the easy drives to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Sugarlands Visitor Center in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It made exploring the area incredibly convenient. If you're looking for a campground where kids can truly connect with nature, enjoy river fun, and still have easy access to all the local attractions, this is it!

Misleading but it worked

7 m travel trailer ·

Private, easy access to the stream, well maintained, easy hook-ups, difficult to find. Wish there was signage for “RV spots this way” or something other than the parent company’s ads. I had no idea it was owned by a vacation company rather than a small company.

Great campground

10 m fifth wheel · With pets ·

This was a beautiful site. It was very quiet and private. We had a wonderful stay. The river was lovely. It was 20 to 30 minutes away from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Seiverville. The only downside was the narrow windy road leading to the campground, but it was that way in multiple areas and was not a deterrent. After driving past the extremely crowded larger campgrounds, we were glad that we stayed here.

We had a fantastic view. It's nice to have a river in the back, and it's a great place to walk the dogs. It's pleasant and relaxing.

Loved the place. The Little pigeon River was beautiful! The kids and dogs had a great time, playing in the pasture.. The roads getting there were a little tedious. I guess there’s a lot of roads like that, it is the mountains.

Wonderful location

13 m Class C · With kids ·

The location was perfect! Not too far from the heart of Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. We stayed at campsite 5. It was quite a bit un-level, so I do recommend bringing plenty of blocks to level your camper. We have a 36ft Class A RV and pulling an 18 foot carhauler trailer behind it. We had trouble getting up the hill over the bridge once you first turn onto Sam Ellis Way RD. We bottomed out our trailer & messed up our jack on the trailer. It was worse going back out when we left. So if you have a longer rig, take that into consideration. The campsite itself was lovely. The spot was peaceful & plenty of room for kiddos to roam & play. The river was a lovely view out of the windows of our RV. The location was perfect. I can't say that enough. The host was quick to respond with any questions we had. When we got to the campsite, the 50 amp plug was not working, only the 30 amp was. I messaged Andrew and he came to see what was wrong very quickly. It was something an electrician would have to look at, so it didn't get resolved while we were there. We didn't think it would be an issue, bc it was cold and we weren't running both AC's, but being hooked up to 30 amps for as long as we where there did melt our camper plug & adapter a little. But the place overall was wonderful and we would stay there again for sure. I would recommend anyone wanting a more peaceful place to stay and not having campers stacked side by side like a typical RV Park, choose here. You won't be disappointed 🙂

The campground is clean, unkept, quiet and has all hookups. It’s off the main roads and secluded. Perfect for our 20 ft travel trailer.

This little campground had beautiful views of the river. The sites were well kept. They have bear proof trash cans which I’m sure is needed out there. The road to the site is very curvy and drops off right beside the road in many places.

10/10 would recommend staying here. The property is stunning and in close proximity to local attractions. The dogs loved the freedom of running down the hills and dipping their toes into the gorgeous river. We did not want to leave!

Lovely small private campground

Lovely private campground, super clean, everyone was friendly, great WiFi, and the location just a few miles (maybe 15 minutes) to Gatlinburg. The tiny homes looked adorable too so we definitely plan to come back and book one. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality!!

This place is great. Everything is clean and well kept. Andrew is very responsive and helps in all ways. The only thing that could be tweaked is garbage space and pick up. May not even be in the owners control but trash could get crowded quick if all spaces were occupied. Otherwise, it’s perfect. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful property! Only feedback would be trash removal. The trash cans quickly filled up with only half of the cabins and sites full, with no removal over our 3 days. Otherwise, great spot!

Beautiful, quiet getaway spot

10 m travel trailer · With pets ·

Phenomenal location— private, quiet, beautiful creek/river area, still reasonably close to attractions and activities. Communal fire pit, friendly tiny-house guests. WiFi was pretty good too, which is helpful because we didn’t get good phone service (AT&T/Cricket). I also recommend nearby Foxfire Mountain as a fun place for families (our kids are too little for zip line but loved the playground).

What a Beautiful place to camp!! We thank Andrew and Mariah for their help in coordinating 2 sites for us and our family member to camp. The fire pit, shelter and the river, along with the view of the mountains made our visit complete! We will most definitely stay there again when we visit our family in Sevierville!! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful spot!

Andrews land was not what we expected, it exceeded all our expectations. Quite, clean and beautiful views. It was close to everything and had absolutely no problem get to this location. We had 4 dogs and they loved it as well with plenty of space. We stayed an extra night and Andrew was prompt in answering questions and accommodating us one extra night! Stayed Sept 24-28 2024

This was a beautiful spot to camp. It was very quiet and clean with pretty surroundings. Everything was laid out nicely and was a little cheaper than other places nearby. Having trash available on site would have been a nice bonus! The bridge coming onto the property did not have a weight limit - we are a 43' fifth wheel (truck weighs about 8k and trailer 20k). We made it across :). The roads nearby are pretty, country Tennessee roads, but do feel a little narrow/bumpy with a large rig (our 5th wheel and bed of the truck almost hit on one hill which has happened occasionally in our 3 years of full-timing). Overall, a great stay & we would recommend to others!

We stayed in RV site 5, we chose the site to be a little further from the tiny homes but also for the views. It was the least level site but we were able to get situated and loved the area. We played in the river every day of the trip and loved it! The grass was a little long as it rained most afternoons. The gnats were wild but can you ask for out in the country!

I had a great experience with this small, quiet campground. The river access is the best part. Large grassy area for dog to play in. The host is responsive, friendly, and helpful. Good Wi-Fi with Starlink.

We didn’t realize the site was as unlevel as it was when we first pulled in and had to readjust. Once we readjusted and settled we loved the area. We choose site number 5 for the best views and easy access to the creek. We spent a lot of time in the water and walking the banks with our kids and pup! Be aware the roads to the site are narrow and the trees on Ellis Way are low and touched the top of our RV going in and out. The grass is long in areas and there are tons of gnats but if want seclusion with access to the sites, this is the site for you! We would visit again if in the area!

We had an amazing stay. This place is incredible. The private little stretch of river was the highlight of our trip to Pigeon Forge. Great for short tubing trips for the kids. It has two small beaches......one always in the sun and one always shaded. It was super clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back in the near future. My wife wants to rent one of the tiny houses next time and bring her mother. An incredible, secluded spot but still a short drive from all the attractions.
