We were there over July 4th, and it was clear they handled a situation involving disruptive troublemakers with fairness and good judgment. Even in the middle of holiday chaos, they stayed calm, respectful, and focused on protecting the families and campers who come to enjoy the outdoors. Emphasis on FAMILIES! Their communication was excellent, the campground felt well cared for, and the atmosphere was friendly and secure. If you're looking for a campground where the managers actively look out for their guests, Mountaineer is the place to be--and Markoe and Stacy deserve credit for how they manage and maintain a positive experience for everyone.

There's a rafting company right next door and it's fun to watch the people come down the river. There is a cement patio and a dog park for Freckles. She was very anxious driving through Atlanta with all the traffic and big trucks all around us. But the beauty and calmness of this campground can make anyone relax. We look forward to enjoying the Smokey Mountains and Cades Cove our favorite.

We also really enjoyed the hiking trail at the back of the campground. Our 2 interactions with camp store staff were very pleasant, and we met a lot of nice guests here too.

It's so close to the national park and other off-site adventures, but you could easily have a stay-cation here and never leave! Wi-fi is included and worked great. One tip - if you plan to cook over the fire, get plenty of firewood because their fire pits are quite deep and the cooking grate height cannot be adjusted.

We booked this KOA online for five days using the app (it doesn't get any easier), we arrived and…read morethe staff greeted us and took us to our site I requested a site change and they accommodated, after setting up camp I found my satellite didn't have a clear view of the sky due to the number of trees over hanging my satellite receiver I didn't expect them to cut down the tree so again I requested a different site and again they accommodate me (the 3rd site was better but didn't really accomplish what I hoped for). I liked the campground and listed some of the pros and cons I experienced none were deal breakers I'd camp here again but probably request the site I want before booking. It seems the reviews are a mix of reviews prior to KOA ownership so like everything else things evolve over time, we had a pleasant experience although I'm not sure when the transition from private to corporate completed. Pros: 1. A very attentive staff that patrols the property and ready to help 2. A wonderful camp store stocked with just about everything you need including gasoline and propane and a penny smashing machine. 3. Great Cable TV 4. Great WiFi 5. Close proximity to the crystal clear Little River with easy access for tubing or kayaking. 6. Close proximity to all the amenities of Townsend and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park 7. Nice pool and playground for kids and far enough away from the sites 8. Camp Staff will deliver firewood and ice (maybe more stuff if you ask) to your campsite and apply it to your account. 9. Very little light pollution once the sun sets 10. It was relatively quite after dark. 11. Great water pressure 12. Doesn't seem to be longterm residential sites Cons: 1. The campsites are very close together not much privacy here. 2. The neighbor's sewer connections are in very close proximity to your patio area instead of been on the back side of the sites where the electrical and fresh water connections are located. 3. It's likely your satellite dish won't work 4. All gravel camp sites (most have concrete patios though)

We stayed at Lazy Daze campground Oct 6-9. We were supposed to stay Oct 6-10. Our campsite was…read more#41. On the 7th, we noticed a wet spot at our campsite, which we did not think much of. Over the course of the next day, we noticed the wet spot would come and go and began to smell like sewage. The evening of the 8th, the spot became very bad and I notified staff. We then began to notice that our hookup from our camper to the campsite septic did not drain (and would overflow) and started to determine that there was a broken line and backup in the campground's system. The staff explained to us that it was because of many campers draining their tanks and that it was "normal" and would go away. Lazy Daze had their tank pumped on the 8th and the issue continued on the 9th at our site. We decided to leave as the site was unsafe - sewage was draining into our site - into our outside personal property - some of which we disposed of. I contacted the campground on the 12th to find a resolution. First, the campground said they would not provide a refund for the day that we did not stay. This is frustrating, as we left due to health concerns of the property. Secondly, they made a NEW reason as to why the issue occurred in the first place - rain early in the week, which did not happened - and can be proven looking at weather reports. In the end (10/16), I was able to obtain a refund for the site for one day (even though we had sewage issues our entire stay). Please keep in mind, they did not have any other sites open and nowhere else for us to relocate to - we were forced to stay in site 41. Lazy Dazes did not hold any responsibility for our damaged property. The sewage made it's way directly into the river, which is where many kids (including ours) were playing. Kids were riding bikes through the puddles of sewage, which did not have any signage of danger. On top of standard health concerns for humans, animals, and the environment, we have COVID which *SHOULD* add heightened concerned to any responsible business. In this case, I saw none.

The site they place us in was right beside the bath house. The sewer was backed up into our site. They tried to fix it multiple times it was still not draining. We received multiple excuses.

Staff was nice but really did not fix the problems. We love camping but felt like we really could not set up our things do to the sewer problem.
