From Interstate 40: We are located 8 miles away from I40. Take exit 386B and stay on US 129 (Alcoa highway) until US 168 on your left (John Sevier Highway). Take a right at the conviemce store (Weigels) and then another right at the stop sign. You will now be on Hwy 33 (Maryville Pike). Travel 1 mile and we are on your left across from the marina. From US 140 (Pellissippi Hwy) Follow US 140 until it dead ends at Hwy 33 (Maryville Pike). Take a left and travel until you see the campground on your right (4.8 miles)
The Christmas decorations were amazing. The dried out lake was sad. I hope the lake recovers for future visits. I can imagine this place rocks during the busy season when all the regulars are there.
Nice campground with some new sites going in. It has improved over the years and was much impressed since the last time I visited there
We stayed here during a recent trip to Knoxville. They were very accommodating when we called on short notice. However, the roads are very rough and full of potholes and the sites are not level. I was able to back in ok but the sites are narrow and tight. Probably 80% of the spots are "seasonal" (aka permanent) so it resembles a trailer park more than an RV park. The power went out while we were there, but it was not their fault. A tree had fallen on the power lines in a nearby neighborhood. When I walked to the office to inquire, she lady was a bit rude and just said, "They're working in the line over there. We're all out just like you" like I was supposed to know. There was a nice view of the lake behind our spot and some decent walking trails. Also, you have to pay extra for the wifi service from a 3rd party service. I can't recommend this place and probably will not stay again.
We are leaving the campgrounds today. We were here for the weekend. It was the most peaceful place I have been to. We have a 10 year old son and a 14 year old daughter and they did not complain one bit. They staff was very friendly and interactive with my son. It was just a great place with friendly people. If you are looking for a quiet getaway I recommend this campground.
We are traveling for 5 months in our camper, found this on Google, while its an older rv park and spots are close, its clean, quiet, bathroom is stocked, my dog is welcome. Shower is clean and the water hot, pressure is lacking, but reasonable. Nice laundry. Lack of picnic table and fire rings but again, we have our own.
