## Overview

TN PRIVATE, SINGLE RV SPOT ON 8 ACRES: OFF-THE-GRID single private self-contained RV; (additional tent is OK), primitive camping, not a "camping" subdivision with neighbors within 10 feet, your private mountainside and Hummingbird Valley to enjoy. 

 In Pigeon Forge but ABOVE the city hustle and bustle, adjoins Dollywood so you will at times hear the train whistle and roller coaster excitement (Dollywood hours are not too early or too late); less than 5 minutes to Old Mill, Dollywood, le Conte Center, grocery stores, shopping and many attractions, short drive to Gatlinburg, white water rafting, zip lines, hiking, horseback riding, Smoky Mtn Natl Park

 Off-the-Grid, - NO water, sewer or electric access to propane grill and picnic table 3 minute walk up the road at barrier gate. Only 1 site on private gravel road on mountainside acreage with no thru traffic; you will unlock/lock gate for entry/exit to your private mountain-side wooded retreat with view of valley through the trees and mountains in the distance. This RV site is on the mountain side not in the valley or mountain top.

 Access road is blacktop to the barrier gate and then 2 minute drive on a 1 lane gravel road to the campsite (see pictures). There is a 50 foot circular area to turn around so if you are too big to turn around in 50 foot area--you are too big for this site.

There is wildlife in the area so be sure food and trash are inside your RV or vehicle. Do not leave food or trash out as that will attract wildlife. Trash should be deposited in the garbage cans in the metal cage by the barrier gate. SO OBVIOUSLY - AS ALWAYS/EVERYWHERE -- DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE; AS THAT CAN ENDANGER YOU AND FUTURE CAMPERS. These are wild animals even if they are within the city limits of Pigeon Forge.

> Great spot tucked away in the middle of it all. The site is perfect for anyone wanting seclusion with the option to be in town within minutes. You can faintly hear the roars of Dollywood coasters. It rained every day we were there and the terrain didn't hold water. Big plus. We will return.

> It was a good spot to park for a week and enjoy the numerous activities in the area. We really liked how it was in a very convenient location just far enough off the main strip that you dont have to deal with to much traffic. If you really wanted to you could easily ride a E scooter or bike to dollywood. Brain's directions were very easy to follow. He was very responsive and friendly. At the end of long hot days walking in the sun it was enjoyable to take a dip in the pool.

> Had a wonderful weekend at the campsite. Enjoyed the pool and the peaceful surroundings. Only took about three minutes to drive to Dollywood and near to all local attractions. I can't recommend enough how much of a treasure this place is.

> I enjoyed my 3 night stay at this primitive campsite. I arrived late in the evening and GPS took me almost to the right road to turn on. Unfortunately for me, there is another road 75 ft before the actual road where one is to turn. I mistakenly took that road and ended up having to do a near impossible turn around given my truck length and short 12 foot trailer) near some dumpsters and the exit from another campground/trailer park. The host's directions are very good, it was just darkness and unfamiliar area that led to my challenge. The entrance gate was at the end of a condo complex and kind…
