This was a nice campground. The hosts were very nice and courteous especially when we arrived late that evening. They showed us to our spot and since the site they put us in the hook-ups were in the wrong side of the fifth wheel. They were nice enough to offer to get us longer sewer and water hoses if we needed, but we were leaving early in the morning, so it didn't matter. We would camp here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
It was raining quite hard when we arrived and the water was a bit over the bridge, but the road was good and we arrived safely. We were given one pull-through site and got everything set-up. All utilities worked well - great cable and excellent wifi connection! The next morning we realized that space #19 was a bit snug for our 35 ft. camper with three slides. We spoke to the office folks and they gave us another site - easy to move through the park and get set-up again. This is an older park but it is well kept and the pool is beautiful! No fish in the pond, but it is nice to look at. The staff was very nice and they had a replacement tail-light bulb for the one we needed when we were leaving! We would return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Overall the CG is good for an overnight, sites mostly level, full of shade trees. Hosts were very kind and helpful. The swimming pool was one of the best we have seen for awhile. It was well taken care of and clean. Downside - gravel road leading up to office - pretty good grade so we sat at bottom of hill until another camper moved as could not tell if enough room for two units at top of hill. We did not want to get stuck in the gravel (we experienced this in the past). There is a reasonable amount of noise from I-40 but with A/C on, it was not as noticeable. Big note to tall rigs - on entry road before getting to CG, cable & telephone wires very low. Winnepeg Vectra in front of us entering got the wires entangled on the roof of unit. Blocked road until they got on top via ladder to undo the wire. We would stay here again We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
First of all, don't let the bridge scare you. This campground has very friendly staff and a attentive owner. The bridge looks narrow entering the campground, the road is behind a neighborhood and off the beaten path but close to the interstate. However, once entering the campground you will see the pride taken to care for this place. It was mowed, landscaped, and gravel was well graded. The playground was dated. The pool was clean. The bathrooms were some of the nicest we've seen. They were dated, but very well cared for and decorated with a like home feel. The showers were hot and had Delta faucets. There is a small store with 50 cent coffee (with a donation slot). Our site was pull through, fairly level. The staff closed the pool, but once they saw our kids in swim trunks, they reopened it for another hour. We had a bit of trouble with our holding tank, and they were eager to share their knowledge and assist by letting us use tools. They have been campers for years, and understand the lifestyle. We highly recommend this campground if you are looking for a friendly overnight stay. We will stay there again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were here for five nights and found the staff very helpful and friendly. The sites that we had and that our friends had could have been leveled out a bit better, but over all they were good. We were not able to have a mat out in front of our fifth wheel and this caused some problems with tracking in the dirt and mud after some rain storms came through. Also they advertise fishing, however there were no fish in the pond and the smell was very unpleasant. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
staff was friendly and helpful. restrooms were clean as were the showers. sites were very nice, owners making improvements to make park better, but was very nice now. some highway noise, campground was quiet, very convenient to on off ramps on I40. pet friendly park. stayed a week in a 5th wheel. would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice Campground, very close to highway but no noise. Well run, very friendly and helpful employees. Sites were level although area around some of the sites were not. Would definitely stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is a good overnight stop. It is close to I-40 with easy off and on access. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The lake was empty, but that was probably due to a drought in the State. The Cable TV was $3/night extra and worked good. The wifi was free and we received the signal from inside our RV. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Facilities were nice and clean, WIFI worked great for a while, then dropped us. Sites were roomy, although some were at a great incline, but we were still able to level without having to use blocks. Will return when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
As noted by others, the entrance to the park is somewhat difficult, along a winding road through a residential neighborhood and across a very narrow bridge. In addition, the noise from the nearby interstate is significant. But it is also close to I-40 and a good stop for an overnight. They offer free WI-FI, which is a bonus, and the campground is clean. The staff are very pleasant. The sites are long enough for a 40-foot motorhome plus towed vehicle, and they are of average width (not cramped). There is an extra charge for cable television, and we were able to get a satellite signal from a remote dish. Newport, TN, has grocery stores, liquor stores and a Super Walmart for supplies. This is not a good destination campground but is adequate for overnight. However, we stayed for four nights, and the traffic noise became annoying. It is about a 30-40 minutes drive to the Smokies for hiking -- beautiful views along the way. We camped here in a Motorhome.
It is a real thrill getting to this campground--winding roads, tight turns, a very narrow bridge, and a powerline hanging low right over the entry road (I ripped off my CB antenna on this line). The sites are very unlevel, I had to extend my front and side jacks all the way out on the motorhome, then put them back up and put wood, etc., under them. At $33 per night, including a ridiculous charge of $2.50 per night for cable TV, this place is a rip off. On the good side, people in the office were very friendly, they led you to your site, and good strength wi-fi is available for free. But I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nicest KOA campground we have stayed in. Well layed out pull-thru shaded sites. Owners were very pleasant. Great play area for the kids and a nice pool and pavilion. Grounds well kept. An intimate setting for quiet relaxation. Will be our only choice when in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Owners super friendly. We were only here overnight in a Kamp Kabin, and didn't really use much of the facilities, it was a very pretty little park. The restrooms and showers were very clean, well stocked. The store was small, but had the corkscrew we were looking for. If we were going to stay in the area for a few days we would definitely come back to this campground. We camped here in a .
Nice campground for overnight stays. Close to I-40 with good access. Sites are gravel,
shaded, and nice. Campground is quiet. Baths and showers are very clean. I will use this campground again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campground staff was very friendly and helpful. My site had several small tree branches that
might have interfered with opening the front awning and the staff immediately noticed this and cut the branches. The only problem with this campground was its proximity to I-40. There was quite a bit of constant traffic noise even though our site was in the middle of the facility. We couldn't sit outside due to this. We camped here in a Motorhome.
