Pigeon Forge RV Resort

General: Huge RV park located just on the outskirts of kitschy Pigeon Forge. There are back-in sites, pull-thru sites, and cabins. As is typical in RV parks, there is little to no privacy between sites.

Site Quality: Some have concrete pads while others have gravel pads. All are level. All are FHU. We had reserved a “premium” riverfront access site plus we paid an extra fee to “secure” our site (as opposed to having them assign a site upon arrival). We did have riverfront access, however, what we did not know when we reserved was that on the other side of the river directly behind our site was an asphalt plant and we listened to heavy trucks rumbling back and forth all day long. Site 17 was like a pie slice, however, so we did have a bit more space between us and neighboring sites than other sites. 

Bath/Shower house: Code entry and clean. Two of the three stalls in the one closest to our site did not have working latches. However, because everyone else in the campground had large RVs (with bathrooms), I never saw anyone else in the bathroom. The shower had nice hot water but in the women’s, the flow was a little wimpy. Hubby said his shower had a nice strong flow. 

Amenities/Activities: There are many including two pools, a lazy river, a hot tub, a bounce pad, pickle ball, gaga ball, basketball, an arcade, a fitness center, an RV wash, a dog park, and laundry. You pay a resort fee for these amenities. The laundry room was clean and reasonably priced at $2 wash and $2/dry. 

With our camper van, we had the smallest by far rig in the entire campground. We typically do not stay in RV parks but we needed to empty our gray water, fill our fresh water, and do laundry. It was a splurge to stay here so we only stay in RV parks when we need to. For the price, three stars; 4 for the amount of amenities.

I like this place because it’s in a great location to get to Gatlinburg, enjoy Pigeon Forge and see Cades Cove. If you prefer secluded quiet campsites this place is not for you. We expected families with kids and lots of neighbors at this location. We stayed 3-nights and two days. Love that sites have sewer hookups. Was able to stream tv using their Wi-Fi and I was able to work, but there is very little Verizon service here and as the weekenders arrived my phone fell off Wi-Fi repeatedly making it difficult to even send a pic via text. The community center has an adorable fireplace with rocking chairs you can enjoy. My main complaint is a few peoples lack of camp ground etiquette. A family of 8-10 kept walking through our site to get to the pool. It happened at least 25 times on a Thursday. The reason it bothered me is as I was on a meeting a child, walking with her mother decided to yell to someone else as they were near my RV and window. When they left the traffic reduced greatly. Unfortunately they were not the only people as a lady walking her dog did the same. Some of the sites have RVs rear to rear and our neighbors site rear was empty, but they still walked between he and I.
All in all, I’d consider staying here again for the location and amenities, but hope for better considerate neighbors.
