My wife and I camped at Ripplin waters about 6 weeks ago and loved it so we brought our two grandsons back last weekend. It is clean, has a fun playground for the kids, nice Picnic Pavilion, and close to everything while still being reasonable. We will be back in about three weeks.
We have stayed here for years and would recommend it to anyone.The staff is great, very helpful ,welcoming and the owner was very friendly and encouraging we love to fish and he talked to us about our fishing trip. The campground is clean and well maintained and they have seasonal events for all ages. So come and enjoy
We stayed here at Ripplin Waters for a few days. It was conveniently located near the highway so we could look at the area around Knoxville. The location is close to Downtown Sevierville and Pigeon Forge for the attractions. The facility had laundry and a store. The laundry was great and very reasonable. The store was equipped with basic essentials and if you needed ice or firewood after hours you can get it on the honor system. They have a pool and playground though I didn’t use them. The park is quiet for the most part. You do hear traffic from the parkway but not to the point of not be able to talk or hearing things around you. We will make more stops in the future and stay longer.
I stay here at least twice a year. I love the area that the campground is located. I love that you are right on the river (I have caught a few small mouth from here). Staff is always friendly and making improvements in the campground. Showers might not be the hottest sometimes but the bathrooms are not bad. I have not stayed in the cabins I use a camper. The sites are level for the most part. I use a step up leveler and never had to go more than two 2x6s up. Gravel lot with concrete pad for seats (at least at the river sites).
This campground is amazing! There is so much room in between campers, the bathrooms are extremely clean , and they are even heated and cooled, which is very nice. There are lots of pretty trees, and there is a gorgeous river flowing alongside the park. the park is just far enough out of town to get away from the noise but just a short drive to everything in pigeon forge. I have been to many campgrounds in my day, and I can’t remember one. That was this nice highly recommend!
