The park has gravel roads and pads but they are very level and nicely spaced. Park was clean and well maintained. There is some grass between each site. Very easy in and out and big rig friendly. Television reception was very good. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a fairly large park with level sites and close to Johnson City which has many good restaurants. You really should try Cootie Browns or the Peerless. For any RV supplies I would recomend Crowder RV just down the road a little distance. The staff at the park are friendly, but there are just too many seasonal campers for my taste. If you need a place to stay in the area I would recommend this park because of the ease of access.,You could park any size rig in here with no problems at all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

RV park is approximately 3 miles from Bristol Speedway. Park is very well kept. 25 and 35 ft wide sites were available. Park is located on a hill. Main road is paved and wide. Sites are gravel with lots of room to back into. Nice dog park and river across the street, which is for park guests. Very impressive facilities, clean bathrooms, showers, and laundry. Great place in the hills of Tennessee. Would recommend. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We visited family in the Tri-Cities area and camped at Lakeview RV Park in Bluff City. Lakeview is a very nice campground. The staff was friendly and helpful from our first contact on the phone. The cable TV and Wi-Fi worked well. The individual bathrooms were spacious and very clean. We found interesting things to do in the Tri-Cities area, including a tour of Bristol Motor Speedway, a visit to historic Jonesbourough, and an enjoyable visit to Carter Fold Memorial Music Center. Any time we are in the Tri Cities area we will definitely camp at Lakeview RV Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rates were Passport America and Good Sam. This is a very nice park. Very clean, close to restaurants and shopping. It says it is in Bristol but it actually is In Bluff. If you use Bristol on GPS you will get lost. Use Bluff and it will take you right there. The owners and people in the office were so friendly and helpful. We had some problems with our RV and they referred us to a repair person who was great and very reasonable. Will definitely stay here again. We stayed one week. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a pull-through site with full hookups. The site was very long, but narrow, affording no privacy from neighbors. The whole park is very clean and bright, but with no shade at all. Store, pool, bathhouses all very nice, but laundry room was much too small for a park of this size. I had to wait all day to get one available washing machine. Near the highway, which was handy for access; road noise was not a problem. Roads and sites were clean gravel with lots of room for big rigs. Wi-Fi at our site worked well. The personnel were pleasant and efficient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Top notch campground in the Bristol, TN area. Newer park, well-maintained with nice amenities. Sites are a little close together but everything else is so well-done, who cares? Passport America rate of only $21 for a full hook-up. Choice of sites was up to us, a nice perk. Restrooms/showers were spotless!! Some of the best seen to-date. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Located just off US 11E. Easy access from I-81 and I-26. Park is close to Bristol Motor Speedway, Roan Mountain, Bays Mountain Park. Campground sits on a hill side and is tiered. Roads are wide. RV spacing is open (not crowded). Park has boat dock on South Fork Holston River. No shade. We stayed 3 nights. Would we come back here? Yes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

1st - rate shown is the Passport America rate (actually it was $17.50 a night, FHU). Great deal, good for 5 nights at Lakeview. Pros: Nice location, easy in/out off major 4-lane state highway. Very nice restrooms (actually they are individual, private rooms) and a sparkling clean pool. Good steady power and cable tv with about 70 channels, wifi, and sewer hookups. Sat. dish will work from any site. Pet friendly. Has a small restaurant that serves breakfast on weekends. Close to the awesome Bristol Raceway (NASCAR site). Access to river/lake with a boat ramp and private docks. GREAT hosts and owners. [Dang, what's left?] Cons: No paved roads, gravel but level sites. No shaded sites, no trees. OK - I can live with that. 1st class operation & less than 3 minutes to the world's greatest BBQ at Ridgewood restaurant!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, friendly check-in staff. Large and clean private bathrooms. Gravel sites with grass strips separating sites, but no trees. Shared water with adjoining site, but no neighbor in that site. It appears that the campground rents pontoon boats and paddle boats in summer. We stayed overnight and would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park, very accommodating hosts. The sites are flat and level, but some make not like the fact they are dirt, not paved. All stone roads and sites. Not a lot of space between sites and no trees. Easy in/out, long pull throughs, all in all, a nice park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was a 10 for cleanliness, friendliness, and "leave you alone-ness". Really was everything I look for there. My issues was that it is a gravel parking lot (well kept but just a parking lot) with very limited grass, no real character and no trees. I struggle to give negative feedback because it is of no doing from the owners but rather not the type of camp ground I personally look for. I wish I'd had that visibility prior to booking. We did have direct access to the country roads we used for a great bike ride through the Cherokee National Forest so that again was positive for this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is immaculate and the staff is very friendly. The sites are hard crushed rock with plenty of drainage and level. Some sites are overlooking a lake and plenty of room between sites. My only problem was it was hard to see the entrance because the sign was not big enough or needs upgraded to match a wonderful park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy campground to maneuver for big rig towing. Great Wi-Fi, strong signal throughout camp. Next to river. They have a few pull through sites, but the majority are back ins.

We came back to Lakeview RV Park on our trip home from FL. Once again, we had a great stay. There are three things that really impress up about the campground. The Wi-Fi works great. They have Wi-Fi access points all over the campground. The bathrooms are always clean. The best things about Lakeview is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We will return any time we travel I-81 thru Upper East TN. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is by-far the best we have found in the Tri-Cities area. If just passing through for the night, it is only a few miles from the interstate and well worth the drive. The campground is very open, with wide and spacious spaces. You will have no problem getting a signal on a dish. It is very clean and well maintained. The staff is great! The only negative is that the hookups are located at the back of the spaces, so with a 38ft I needed a sewer extension and long waterhose. We stay in this area several times a year and have parked in others nearer the interstate, but this will be where we will stay from here on out. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our first time to Bristol. We are huge nascar fans. We decided to come with our buddies to the night race. We have enjoyed several races but not truly experienced Bristol. We were lucky to get a spot at this campground for the race. It's a week stay for nascar races. The staff was really great and the snack bar. They had great amenities definitely the salt water pool. This was easy for us to back into because of the wide sites that accommodate big rigs. Great experience and met several friends. We are coming back in a few weeks when we plan on returning home to Canada. We have met several friends at this campground and we will be back next year for both races. This campground was really clean and we personally thank the owner for giving the boat tour even if we were the only couple. There are many interesting things about Bluff City. Loved it here and would recommend it to anyone! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I just got home after a week's stay at Lakeview and it was wonderful. I have been camping here twice a year for the past four years and they just get better and better. The roads are wide for easy access, the baths and showers are the cleanest I have ever seen. The view of the lake is beautiful. While all of this is nice, their biggest asset is the staff. They always go out of the way to make the park actually feel like your home away from home. I'm already looking forward to my next stay! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We just camped for a week at our favorite campground in the Tri-Cities: Lakeview RV Park. We love how the tiers of the campground overlook scenic Boone Lake. The weather was hot this year, so we enjoyed the swimming pool and renting a pontoon boat. Lakeview has all the amenities, but the best thing about it is the friendliness of the staff. We look forward to coming back next year. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our first thoughts as we pulled in was "Lakeview Gravel Pit." While an okay campground, with everything clean and well-kept, there was very little of trees or grass, except on the outer fringes of the campground. In fact we found it difficult to find a place to walk the dogs, except on 1 far corner of the park. We had asked for a pull-through site, but the only way they actually can do that is to give you 2 back-to-back sites. Sites were also much smaller than what they stated: the site for our rig was barely 17' x 40'. Most of the sites are actually monthly rentals. This would be an okay stop for an overnight only, wouldn't want to spend an extended time here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a nice pool and pavilion. The staff is very friendly. However, the sites are just like a gravel parking lot and for the most part the lake view is just a narrow passage. Some of the sites were junky with stuff piled everywhere. It worked for us just staying one night but I would want more ambiance at the site for a longer stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a great experience here. We really enjoyed this park. The sites and roads are gravel and very wide. The pool was clean and the kids had a great time playing. They have a small restaurant that serves breakfast and small meals. The snow cones for the girls was a big hit. They have a great boat ride around Boone Lake that was beautiful and gave us some of the history of the area. The ride was 1 1/2 hrs, a relaxing way to spend an evening. The playground is away from the roads and gave the children a safe area to run. The owner was on site, and extremely hospitable. He really is a class act and made a great stay very enjoyable for our whole family. The Wi-Fi signal was very strong. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall not a bad campground, not a family campground though. It's pretty much three tiers of camping on a slight hill all gravel roads and sites. There's no shade, so it gets a little warm even with the AC running. The pool is a salt water pool and is one of the nicer pools I've seen in a campground. There are 3 washers and dryers which is nice when you need it. It's about 3 miles Bristol Motor Speedway and has plenty of shopping in the area. One thing we appreciated about the campground was the papers they gave us upon check-in telling us where the shopping was, with directions and what side of the road the stores were on. Very helpful! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at this park several years ago when it had just opened. Today, it is even better. Extremely well maintained and staff is friendly and helpful. We used the PA rate for one night, and we were able to book one of the two pull thru sites over a week in advance. Our site was so level we didn't even put our jacks down. Everything worked well, the only negative was that the restrooms had signs on the doors that said closed for the season. They had one on each side that was unisex (found by trial and error). We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was an excellent find. We only stayed one night but we will definitely return. The staff couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful. Even though we paid the Passport discount rate, they gave us a site right above the lake. All utilities worked very well except the WiFi signal was quite weak. Verizon broadband once again saved the day. The sites and interior roads were gravel. Our site was perfectly level. They also offer lake tours in one of their pontoon boats. If you're passing through or planning to stay awhile, I highly recommend Lakeview. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

First let me say this is a very nice, very well kept park. Good sized, level sites with easy access to hook-ups for electric, cable TV, water and sewer. Staff was very nice and helpful. I would have given a 10 except for(1) weak WiFi connection (but great cable!) and (2) the dog park was not easy to walk to. There is a public road to cross and the walk is a bit steep. (Hard to tell that from the site map.) We were hoping to be able to use the boat dock for kayak access, but that is not really possible either. We will go again and take the kayaks to the very nice public park that is only a 5 to 10 minute drive and has boat launch ramps. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park had a pet playground and our dog loved it. There are wide roads, WiFi, full hookups, and cable TV. I was so thankful we had cable TV because of the kids. We stayed on the top tier, near the kids playground. We played horseshoes while the kids played on the playground. The bathrooms were really clean! We will definitely come back during the summer.

Outstanding! This was PPA rate for full hook-ups, and included TV and WiFi. Large sites, heavy gravel, paved streets where steep grade would allow wheel-spin if only gravel. Well maintained overall. Plenty of room for backing in - nose-to-nose, sites were about 70' apart. Didn't have chance to see rest of park, as weather went bad, and staff came around to collect everyone after tornado warning - sent us to showers and laundry room (concrete block building). Excellent staff and facilities. Couldn't ask for better. Will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great central location to access lots of different hiking/biking/outdoor activities. Easy access to big-rig-friendly roads. We stayed for a month and were quite comfortable.

We did an internet search to find a campground close to East TN State University where our daughter will attend. We found a new campground, Lakeview RV Park. This campground was a delightful surprise. It has every amenity - fishing, pontoon boat rental, great WiFi, cable TV, a playground for the younger kids, a pet playground for the dogs, a store and a laundry. We had trouble with our cable TV and the owner d fixed it. The staff at Lakeview is friendly and very helpful. Lakeview is a Passport America park, which made the site fees very reasonable. We would highly recommend this campground to anyone visiting the Tri-Cities area. We will be back many times. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My family stayed here during the summer. The kids loved the new pool. They spent most of their time at the pool. They did visit the playground and horseshoes which were really nice. It was great because it was close by to the Bristol Motor Speedway. It was only 3 miles away. We came here because of my son racing in the junior drags. We enjoyed the pontoon boat rental which was really nice. The restrooms were really clean. My wife liked them because they are private. You can do laundry which is open 24 hrs like the bathrooms. The sites were really wide and we enjoyed the pet playground for our lab who loves to run. It was a great park! We have camped here 3 times since the summer. Great Staff!

Very nice park, owner has done a lot of nice things with the place. Coming toward the park from the I-26 direction you will need to make a left into the park. If you are towing and have a long footprint make sure you stop in time to get anyone who may be following behind you notice that you will be stopping and turning . Part of your tow will still be in the highway while you wait for oncoming traffic to clear. We used our Camp USA membership to stay at half price, what a great deal. We were in the area to judge the BBQ cook-off ... we would definitely stay here again and again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Plenty of room to navigate a big-rig into any space in this park. The roads are wide, paved/gravel, and very well maintained. The new pool was open and features lounge chairs, tables and umbrellas, and snack bar that is open for breakfast and lunch. The lady in the snack bar had even baked home-made brownies that were delicious! The staff is very friendly and provide true southern hospitality. The dog park is across the street from the park and next to the marina where you can rent pontoon boats. There is also a pavillion for groups and a camp store. Fire rings are provided (and, I assume wood is, too, for a fee). During NASCAR events they provide shuttle service to Bristol Motor Speedway - well worth it! This park is close to Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport attractions and just an hour's drive north of Asheville, NC. We plan to return and stay longer next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were so surprised with this RV Park. We found it in Passport America Book. It easy access off I81 and close to everything. My children enjoyed the pool,playground, and the lake. We stayed over Mother's Day weekend. We ate at the Grill, and it was wonderful. The owner, manager, and staff were very helpful and treated us like family. We went site seeing in this sweet town and the owner took us on a boat ride up Boone Lake. I highly suggest a visit. We will be back for a longer trip. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We just spent a week at our favorite campground, Lakeview RV Park. This campground has spacious sites and beautiful views overlooking the lake. We rented a pontoon boat and had a lovely day on the lake. Our dog enjoyed the pet run. The kids enjoyed the pool, although the water was too cold for the adults to stand. This is a campground where the staff goes out of their way to help campers feel at home. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not my cup of tea. The sites are crowded, awning-to-rig style. It was noisy (next to busy roadway). The park is flat with little to no landscaping so I felt like I was in a drive in theatre, which I did not enjoy. Was glad to get up early and get back on the road the next day. Also, tried to do a load of laundry but on a 26 minute cycle which cost $1.75, it took each cycle 3.5 minutes just to fill up the machine with water so I thought that was a rip-off; load came out damp from dryer. However, the hostess was a very pleasant young woman and even though I only dealt with her for a couple of moments, I liked her and thought she was friendly. We purposely made a different choice on the return trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Really nice park. Paved main roads, with gravel side roads and sites. Would have been improved if there was less gravel, due to the noise of walking and driving on the gravel. But, other than that, it was a lovely visit. The people were *extremely* helpful! They have a fenced dog run, but it IS across a street, but it isn't a busy street, it just makes it a little hard to find, because it seems like it's out of the park. It is down by the water though, which is nice! Bathrooms are clean and lovely! Cafe wasn't open while we were there. Internet worked great. Would definitely stay again.

We have camped at Lakeview twice a year since they opened and are so glad we found this park. The roads are wide and make maneuvering your rig easy, the private bath houses are always clean, and the Lakeview Grill offers up some good eatin'. They opened a pool this past summer (2008) which was nice for our August stay. But what makes this park so special is the people. Worley, Paula, and the entire staff always go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The genuine friendship they extend to campers is what keeps us coming back. I'm already looking forward to my next stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

My Mother and I have been going to Bristol to the race twice a year for 15 years. We have stayed everywhere! This past March, we were so lucky to have found Lakeview RV Park in Bluff City. The staff, facility, and location were all first class and we can't wait to get back. I have been a camper my entire life, not only for races. I would like to say that of everywhere I have camped in the States this place was the best over all and I recommend it for all year around. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I was there for Bristol race weekend. My 17th consecutive, 3rd at Lakeview. I've stayed in many campsites in and around Bristol Motorspeedway and Lakeview is by far the best. Crushed stone driveways , no dust , large campsites.The Lakeview Grill serves the best breakfasts ( huge sausage/egg biscuits ) and the hamburgers are out of this world. They even make better coffee than I do. Paula (the manager) and Worley (the owner) are excellent people and great managers. The Lakeview Grill and the bath houses are far and away the best I've ever encountered in or around BMS. I'll be back each and every year. It's a delight to camp here. I'm so glad we found this paradise. One of my top items are the shuttle services to and from the track. Excellent service. Thanks Paula. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have spent a minimum of eight days in March and two weeks in August for the last three years at this campground. We would go more but it is over four hundred miles from our home.Having owned over six rvs and traveling the entire country , I feel qualified to tell you this place has been our top selection. Top of the line staff , ( ready and willing to provide the service beyond your expectations ) , large sites , large pool , great lakeviews , golf carts , dock with a variety of marine equipment , and management that makes a point of seeing every day if there is any thing they can do. You will never be dissapointed at this campground! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Lakeview RV Park is a special place, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Everyone is more than helpful The owner and manager are involved in every aspect to ensure Lakeview is your home away from home. Being race fans, we have the opportunity to stay at Lakeview twice a year. If you are looking for an exceptional place to stay put Lakeview at the top of your list. The Staff is easy accessible, as you can find them always on the grounds. Each Race Week there is some type of Guest Evening, this March was Bring Your Own Bun. We had a great time, with live music, karokee, and yes - a cookout. The Staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone was having a great time. While staying at Lakeview, we rented a pontoon boat last August. The rental process was very easy, the staff assisted us with loading and unloading from the dock. We plan on renting again this August. Maybe we'll rent a jet ski and make some waves. August is always hot, so the pool is always a good option. We had many volleyball tourneys last year. Can't wait to catch up with friends made last year. We continue to recommend Lakeview to friends, as this is the best campground around. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Lakeview RV Park is the greatest the staff treats you just like there own family there all great. I have been camping in Bristol for over 10 years now for every race and Lakeview will be my home away from home. The AKA Cow Bell cafe is on site for all campers to enjoy and they do have great food. Lakeview RV Park is about the campers every year I'm there they have new stuff added to make camping even greater. They always check and see if there is anything we need and they let the campers decide what they need to make things better for them I think they are doing a great job and I rate them # 1 over all of any campground I've visited.

It seems like they are trying to "look" great instead of being great. They seem to be really pushing their snack bar. They renamed it and changed their menu. The quality of the food wasn't what it was in August. They remodled the office and spent some money on other things that really don't seem to make much sense. I would have rather I had a picnic table. The staff seemed more phony than I remember. We didn't sign up for next race. We'll probably try to find something a little more camper oriented.

Lakeview RV Park in Bluff City, TN is the campground our Tri-Cities relatives recommended. We are glad they did. This new campground is a great place to camp. It is a Passport America Park. The bath house has all private bathrooms, which are very clean. The campground overlooks Boone Lake and offers pontoon boat rental in the summer. We are NASCAR fans so we were excited to find the campground runs a shuttle to and from the spring and fall NASCAR races. We plan to go back for both the spring and fall race weeks. The campground has all the amenities, but the best thing about it is the warm welcome the manager, Paula, gives campers. She says her goal is to make campers feel that Lakeview is there "Home Away From Home," and she succeeds. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Would be a good place to go in summer as it is on a lake, have boats and jet skis to rent along with there own dock. Reason for 9 is majority of park is gravel. Rate is PPA. Will return.

When Lakeview RV Park web site says, "Wide Roads for Easy Site Access," they mean it. We are on our way to FL in our 45-foot motor coach. Every site is easily accessible. That has not been the case in many of the campgrounds where we have stayed. We stayed in a pull-thru. We planned to stay overnight, but enjoyed the campground so much that we stayed three days. On our way back north we will stay longer. The manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi was available throughout the campground, and it worked! The campground even has a pet playground. This campground is new, so the 50-amp service and all utilities work. This campground was a find. It is about 10 minutes off I-81 near Bristol with four-lane roads from the Interstate to the campground. We will be back whenever we travel I-81. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What an awesome vacation we had! First of all, the entire staff was friendly. They can't do enough for you. If they don't have it, they'll get it! The grounds were immaculate: they picked up the trash every day, the restrooms were freshly cleaned, water was hot and there was always a pot of coffee for their guests! They were very accommodating!!! They were helpful in areas of interest for visiting and their items in the store were reasonably priced (they weren't looking to make a killing). They have a beautiful pavilion and boat docks and a fishing pier that just made you feel like you were in an Otis Redding song (Sitting by the dock on the bay.). They have a computer and printer available for their campers to use. Their laundry facility was clean and reasonable. We were told they will be putting in a pool and snack bar soon and we can't wait to come back here and vacation again this summer!!! Kudos to the owners and staff at Lakeview!

Right off interstate 81 - this family-owned & run CG is a work-in-progress, but they are trying to do it right! The office building also houses approx. 6 large family-style bathroom/showers, large individual showers, and the laundry - all SUPER clean. The CG is terraced with fairly level rocky sites and wide 'road' for easy back-ins. No trees at all and little grass. You will need your awning for shade. Computer and modem hookup available in the office in addition to the free wi-fi. Super friendly and helpful staff. Shuttle to Bristol Motor Speedway for races. During summer, nearby Elizabethtown has a Saturday evening "Car Show" featuring antique, muscle, classic, and rare cars. Beautiful one hour drive down Rt 26 to Asheville, NC and the Biltmore Mansion.

Park is new. It is 3.5 miles from the Bristol Speedway. The park is located across the street from Boone Lake. All sites have a lake view. All sites are backin but back easy to get into. The sites are gravel and level. Because it is new, the sites do not have much grass and and no trees for shade. If you have your unit's front is facing the lake, your unit will provide shade in the afternoon. Otherwise. you will have no shade at all. The management is very friendly and helpful. On race weeks, be sure to have reservations. I would stay at this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You have never seen such poorly designed showers in your life. Each shower room is entered from the outside and the potty, sink, electric hand dryer (I hope they are properly grounded), mirror and yes, the shower are out in the open. If you enter the room after someone has used the shower the entire room is soaked! In other words, there is no partition between the shower and the rest of the room! We were here for 3 night and the garbage cans were not emptied. When we left, garbage was piled up at, but not in the containers. So much for bear-proofing. The grounds are pretty and the Lake offers a lot of appeal, but between the shower facility and poor garbage collection, for the new renovation, we are not impressed! One last word: at least the long 8 mile trip from 421 is not over a dusty, gravel road. It's paved. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very quiet and secluded and beautiful National Forest Campground located on the banks of South Holston Lake in upper East Tennessee. No electric, water or sewer hookups but there is a dump station and water spickets to fill your tank. Very large shaded sites. Don't go here if you get bored easily because the lake is the only recreation. There is not a swimming area. Access to the campground is not easy. Approximately 8 miles or more of gravel road to reach the campground. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at Thunder Valley for the August night race. We arrived on Thursday morning, and left Sunday morning. We had the site by the bathroom. They really pack you in for camping during the race. We were in a 20x40 spot, but it didn't' really matter! The bathrooms, were dirty, but that's to be expected with all those NASCAR fans showering. So we used our bathroom and shower in our RV. The hosts were wonderful! Would definitely camp there next year when we go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Apparently this campground has really gone downhill in the last few years. We camped there just last week. We had a creek side site: bad idea; the creek flooded, and so did we almost. When asked they didn't know where they would move people because they were full. Our friends reserved campsites together before they left the last time. When they arrived in August they found they were split up and not at the site they had had for 5 years. The owner/mgr is pretty stuck on herself and not worried about making campers happy. They are only in it for money, and the thing is they bill months early, and then the money is all spent by the time race time rolls around. Bathrooms and showers were not clean. There are thousands, and I mean thousands of people there and 14 showers total in a bath house all the way up front. Only 5-7 of those showers worked at any one time. They have a hill in the campground that you must use to get out and most campers bottom out on it, tearing up people's RV's. On race week the drunks are up until 5am. We don't have kids, but that was ridiculous every night. And if you get an electric site they are charging $450.00 for race week. I can and am going to Bluff City. I would rather stay in a clean, well lit, calm place than somewhere as nasty as Thunder Valley. I'm sorry I gave them my $250.00 this last year; the camping was not pleasant. Heard they are in trouble with IRS about taxes also. Goodbye, Thunder Valley. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Used to stay here quite a bit but in recent years it seems like they are more interested in the condos than they are the campers. Bath houses have gone down hill and the dust will choke you. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here for the Bristol NASCAR race. Sites were VERY small (Our awning was touching the camper next to us) Overall it served its purpose. No fires allowed unless off the ground, However the site was not big enough for a fire anyway. No dump station. We would not camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
