You can tour the US with safety by keeping your distance and never having to roll the dice when choosing a motel/hotel as to its cleanliness and sanitation practices. This week we took a week-long trip only 3 hours from our home. We chose Valley RIver Resort based upon the website and Yelp reviews. Nestled in the southeastern foothills of the Smoky Mountains, it promised to be the perfect getaway location. The drive was absolutely gorgeous with the trees starting to change into their resplendent colors of fall. When we arrived, we checked in and were greeted by Beau, the campground host, who guided us to our assigned space and then guided us into the space. He was such a kind, welcoming and friendly fellow, eager to do anything to make our stay worry free. The pads all are concrete and level - no inclines here. The spaces are wide and easy to back into. There are also pull through sites. All sites have full hookups. Some of the sites back up to a hill and others back up to a small catch and release lake with no fishing license required. The main lodge is beautiful, complete with a fireplace and large TV with comfy seating. The bathhouse, game room, restrooms and pool are together in one building space and they are sparkling clean and look like they are brand new. The pool is outside and at this time of year, the lady who registered us said we were welcome to take a "refreshing" (quite chilly) dip. The resort also provides fire wood and portable fire pits for a reasonable fee. We ordered from the office and Beau was again jiffy on the spot to fulfill our requests. He delivered the fire pit to our site, set it up and then unloaded our wood and neatly stacked it for us. What service!!! If you want to roll the dice, try your luck with a one armed bandit, roulette or card games, a Harrah's Casino and hotel is across the way. Downtown Murphy is only 3 miles away. If you like to antique shop, the downtown area has many to choose from. Murphy is a small town, so most everything closes right at 5pm. So if you're looking for a quiet and sparkling clean place with super accommodating and friendly staff, you should definitely make Your way to Valley River RV Resort.

Everyone was super friendly and almost all of the campers stopped to talk to us as they went about the park walking their dogs, going for a stroll, or visiting the ponds and walking trail. We felt very welcome and our pets were very welcome, too. Every campsite had at least one pet, if not two. I highly recommend Deer Springs if you want a campground that is a quiet, relaxing spot.

We are a small park with a focus on providing large sites in a comfortable and unique setting. Several of the larger sites will accommodate four guests, but unless otherwise noted, each site is limited to two adults and a maximum of two pets. Our park has been designed for "self contained RV's", and as such, there is no separate bath house on site. Each site has sewer, water, 30/50 amp services, picnic table, fire ring and a private gazebo. Each gazebo has a refrigerator with ice maker, preparation counter and sink with running water.

They came out when we came in to help us back camper in our spot. It's very close to town like 5 min drive but felt out in country. Our spot had a picnic table and fire pit. They have a pretty good size bath house with vending machines and at as use washers and dryers which would be good for long stays! Shower stalls were individual bathrooms for privacy .. updated and very clean. We came before Halloween and it had decor for the holiday.. you could stay in camper, they had cabins, and tepees for unique stay. Most were damaged by storm but will be ready for following year. I thought that was really interesting.. i read reviews from previous years about wifi being terrible but we didn't have that issue. We didn't really spend all day at campground we came to see and spend time in the area so we were only using wifi at night and in morning with coffee. I would highly recommend this campground.. it was a great stay and I hated to leave.

She has a wheelchair and I was happy to see the paths around us were all paved, so we were able to push her along them easily.

The path was shady also which was nice. I loved seeing the waterfall by the river right by the parking lot. This was a great time and I'd definitely return to explore some more paths or take a longer trek.
