No. Tents need to be on their own tent site.
Yes. If the gazebo/tent doesn’t have a floor, you can place it anywhere on your site. If it does have a floor, then it cannot be placed on the grass. Any tent that is for sleeping will need to be on its own site.
Only on certain RV sites. Sites 43, 44, and 84-90. Tents must be placed on the gravel portion of the site and not on the grass.
Yes, if the tent isn’t considerably larger than the tent pad. Keep in mind that the tent pad is bordered by landscape timbers so you may be uncomfortable in a larger tent. If your tent is considerably larger, then you will need to reserve a tent friendly RV site.
On tent pad sites (sites 100-108) there is a maximum of 2 tents, and both must fit on the 16x16 pad. There is a maximum of 2 tents on the tent friendly RV sites.
No. We do not allow any car camping, including electric cars.
You will need to book an RV site. If your tent sits on the ground, it will need to be a tent friendly RV site. If it’s a rooftop tent, then you can stay on any RV site.
When you book a site, you are primarily booking a site “type” such as Premium On-River or Standard Off-River. However, if you want a specific site number, then you will need to lock your site. If you do not lock the site number, then it is possible that the system will change your site number. It will not change the site type, nor will it give you a site that is too small for your RV. Our staff does not make these changes, it is an algorithm within our system that makes these changes. * If you are with a group of three or more RV sites, there is no charge for locking sites so that you can be next to each other, but you will need to let the staff know so we can add a group status to your reservations. For a list of site numbers and their type, click here.
We do not, but if you or a “buddy” have a Class A, B, or C and your hookups will reach, you are welcome to pull into your site as opposed to backing in. You’ll need to have longer hookups to reach the same pedestal.

There is also a dispenser for Tide washing powders and Snuggle dryer sheets, which also takes quarters. We also have quarters in the office, but we do not offer cashback options. The laundry rooms are open 24/7 with a code. Average cost for laundry is around $5 per load.

We allow all sorts of pets! As long as they are not aggressive and they can sleep in your tent/RV, then you can bring them. We’ve had cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, lizards, snakes, and even a mini pig. If you do bring an unusual pet, we’d love to meet it!
We do not. We are surrounded by the Little Pigeon River and there are several areas around the campground that are well over 8 feet deep and perfect for swimming.

It takes you to downtown Gatlinburg and from there, there are several different trolley lines that take you throughout the city.

We do not. We sell or exchange 20 LB tanks. The closest place that refills propane is ACE Hardware and it’s about 5 miles from the campground on the way to Gatlinburg. Do keep in mind that ACE has a very small parking lot, so you will need to take your propane tanks there without your RV.

For guests who have not arrived by the time the office closes, we will automatically leave your late check-in packet on the table in front of the check-in window at the office. Office hours vary throughout the season; please do not rely on Google or Facebook for accurate office hours. Quiet time starts at 10pm, so please try to arrive prior to that time to allow for set-up without disturbing your neighbors. If you arrive after quiet hours, please do a very minimal set-up until the following morning. TENT CAMPERS: No arrivals after 10pm. Please plan to arrive and be set up by 10pm.
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 7am. You don’t have to go inside, but all music, TV noise, talking, etc. must be kept to a minimum. Please be considerate of your neighbors.

Thankfully, not often. Rarely do we have any issues with bears being a nuisance around the campground, mostly due in part to the staff keeping the dumpsters bear proof and our guests doing their part in keeping food and garbage out of their reach. To help keep bears (and other garbage loving critters) wild and away from your campsite, please observe the following:
Almost. We close for about 6 weeks between January and February. We usually close down a few days after New Years and reopen the second week of February.
