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.

When I explained who the bones were for, he generously donated a very big box of high-quality bones to assist in our friend's recovery. The broth was the tastiest I've ever made-super velvety and rich. I've never shopped Walnut Hollow but I will be sure to make it a regular habit in the future. Very happy to know that this business and it's kind proprietor are in my community.

I have NEVER stayed at a KOA that I liked. They always look like treeless, overpriced parking lots. This place is like home. It is quiet and full of huge mature trees and wildlife. This is why I drive 630 miles one way to stay here.

It is small, quiet, loads of old growth trees that gives every site some shade. The staff are amazing. They are helpful and funny and can't do enough for you. I would come back here multiple times a year if it were not 640 miles away from me......

Joyce the owner is VERY rude. The park is extremely outdated and not worth the money.read more
