The facility is clean with no problems handling a big rig. Highly recommended. Quiet evening and excellent satellite reception. We plan to use this place as our stopping off point when heading south.

The full hookups were well placed. 50, 30 and 20 amp electrical service. We would stay there again when passing thru.

Appeal Rating I cannot believe that this campground has this high of a rating from Good Sam! It may have been a great park at one time, but there is little appeal here. There are too many long term campers. There was so much smoke, that you could hardly breathe. The sites were so close together, it was awful. It was very hard to get around in a big rig. Very rough roads, dirt, gravel site that was difficult to level. I would not stay here again.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating This is an excellent campground for a convenient overnight stay as it is just of I81 and next to a Flying J gas station. Essentially 3 areas of the park; 1 is tree shaded, 1 is open air and the third is more overflow. The restrooms are very clean and the laundry is large and clean. Very friendly staff. We could very easily navigate with our 25 foot trailer and pull vehicle.

Appeal Rating Camped at site #7, a pull through site with a 32’ 5th Wheel. The sewer connection needs replacing as it is broken (PVC). Connections are very convenient. Cable has a lot of snow and noise (video and audio) but can still view the stations (50+ channels). The owner is very nice and filled up my propane bottle while checking in. Nice convenience store. Nice spacing for a large number of spaces...you don’t feel too close, but do have neighbors. Very nice looking RV Park and large rigs can maneuver well. Flying J truck stop nearby just off I-81 and the park is just off the interstate. We did not use the restrooms or showers.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Staying here one night only, and it is just as advertised. Beautiful, country RV Park. Several big rigs in the front, where we parked. Level site with lots of grass. The spaces are close together, but that is fine with me for an overnight stay. The pool is large; however, we didn't endulge. The bathhouse is extremely clean, as is the rest of the park. Lots of couple out walking this evening. We were greeted with a friendly young man in the office who told us everything we. Ended to know. I asked for a level pull thru site when I made my reservation, and that's what I received. 52 Cable channels, and they all work! Wifi is sketchy; good signal for a bit and then not so much. But, that's the way it usually is at an RV park, right? For an overnight stay, this place is perfect. Actually, it would be nice to say a couple nights, but we are headed to Pigeon forge in the morning. There is also a nice store at the office. Hookups all hooked up easily. We will return when in this area.

This is a nice park, the sites are level and we had a pull thru, so it was easy in and easy out. The restrooms were the cleanest I think I have ever seen, especially with some age on the building, you will sometimes see old dirt in cracks and crevices, but not here.
We really enjoyed walking our pets on the park grounds. They have a pond that have some very large koi in it that would be fun to feed, I'm not sure if they sell fish food for that or not. There are hills that surround the park with some cattle on one side, kind of relaxing to watch.
They have a nice pool area, there is also a playground area, with equipment that is dated, but still a place to swing or run around if you have kids that need to blow off some energy.
There is a nice selection of RV supplies in the store and they have a large book exchange. They have a large building with the laundry in it and a huge sectional sofa in the attached room, so you could just hang out while you do laundry if you wanted.
This is a nice park and we would stay here again.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating A great choice if you need a quick break from the interstate--literally 2 minutes from the ramps for 81 and 77. Park is laid out in straight-forward block pattern with mostly pull through sites. Very clean and well kept. However if you are planning to stay awhile and are looking for conviviality with other campers, look elsewhere. Most of the slots are filled with overnighters who are intent of getting in, getting rested and getting out in the morning. Not a lot of socializing.

We planned to stay over night and continue on but it was so relaxing we stayed an extra day. And, we returned there on our way home for another two days.

Overall Rating Facility Rating Restroom Rating Appeal Rating Although close to Interstate, the hills block all road noise. Men's Restroom might not have the newest fixtures but it's the cleanest - the floor sparkles. Sites are close together but for a short visit it was OK.
Surrounding hills are used for grazing herds so depending on the wind direction there is an "aroma" that comes from the herd.
Yes, organized & friendly staff..........and would return if in the area.

Pull through sites are fine, back-in sites (28-38) along south end of property are all gravel (no trees) and not very appealing. Cable system could use some upgrading. People very friendly, good doggie walking areas (would be better if EVERYONE picked up after their pets). Would definitely stay again.
