We stayed here over the weekend for the first time with some family. The place was packed and…read morefestive.The chilly autumn air really set the scene. Lots of sites where decorated with lights and decorations for Halloween and Fall. There were activities for the kids and lots of play areas. We personally did not utilize these as our kids are grown, but hopefully grand kids are around the corner! The bathrooms were well above average for a busy campground. They were clean and well maintained with toilet, sink, and shower areas. Garbage pickup was taken care of each morning by friendly staff. With a busy Saturday hiking to Leconte and back we did not get to roam about and take it all in like we would like, so we will definitely consider coming back here again.

It was last minute, and as we were coming down hit a massive storm, so we were going to be late checking in. Not only was the lady on the phone extremely kind and helpful, she offered me directions and allowed us to check-in late. The tent site was HUGE. It was beautiful, and we just got the basic tent site. You can also get one on a deck by the stream or by the trout pond--I super recommend the trout pond. Next time, we're going that way. The people who work there are so kind, and the area is awesome--lots of things to do if you have kids, and if you;re just hanging about, the mountains are a hop away. Showers and bathrooms are massively nice and were always clean. I couldn't rant about this place enough--definitely worth every penny.

Located about 11 miles from the main thoroughfare in Gatlinburg, Arrow Creek is a smaller…read morecampground just off 321. As their website says (www.arrowcreekcamp.com) they are in fact a "well maintained family campground convenient to Dollywood, music theaters, the Arts and Crafts Community, antique and craft shops, factory outlet malls, hiking, horseback riding, trout fishing, churches, and Bent Creek Golf Course." While staying here we visited Dollywood, Pigeon Forge (in general), the Apple Barn Cider Miller & General Store, Cade's Cove, Greenbriar Trail, and other stops. None were far away at all. When we first found Arrow Creek online it was through a general Google search. We were attracted by the images of the pool and the playground. Because I work from home we are always concerned with WiFi options and because we have a 3-year old daughter we are always looking for easy access entertainment for her. Arrow Creek has both. In fact, the pool is quite nice and in full sun. It is always clean and doesn't seem to be overly chlorinated. The playground is divided into two sections: one for toddlers (including a small trampoline) and one for older kids. The WiFi is impressive. With a central router at the office there are no less than 3 booster antennas that carry a quick, reliable, signal to the rest of the park. As we were preparing to book we read some other reviews on Arrow Creek, which accused the park of being "old, cramped, and dirty" and "noisy and crowded." Some accused the park of being poorly maintained; having too may lots for its size, and having too many old campers that seems run down. After arriving we did notice that perhaps 55% of the campground is unavailable due to long-term residents or storage. But I understand this as having long-term stays and storage allow for year round revenue which is necessary for most mom-and-pop's to stay alive in today's economy. 3 or 4 of the units were old, yes, and 2 were what I found to be unsafe and perhaps dirtier than I would like to see (borderline sketchy, even) but at the same time, I don't check in to a campground to feel like I am staying at a Camping World showroom. Everyone has their own standards, their own budget, and their own rig. It is not for me to judge that or to say they can or can't be camping because of it. When we made our reservation our interaction (both phone and email) with the owners - Jimmy and Ginger Cooper - was exceptional. They are both generous, fun, easy-going people who ultimately showed my family remarkable hospitality. The price we were quoted for our stay was honored when we arrived with no problems and we received two emails (one just before our time to check in) from Arrow Creek to confirm our reservation. The bathroom facilities were above average. The shower stalls are travertine tile with clean curtains, changing room, good pressure, and ample hot water. The commode stalls are a bit small but are good enough. There was always toilet paper and the commodes themselves were always clean without fail. The double vanity in the men's room was a bit shabby and aging but the water was clean, the faucets worked well, and the hand dryer was sanitary. With a full bathroom in our travel trailer this added facility was all we needed. The washer specifically is a bit expensive at $2.50/load but they are large machines so we got by just fine and on budget. Dryer loads are $1 per cycle. There is also a Pepsi machine and an ice-cream vending machine available 24/7. Would we stay here again? Yes. Do we usually stay at a place more than once? Not usually. There is a lot in the nation to explore. Would we recommend it to you?

If I could give this campground negative stars, I absolutely would…read more Our experience here has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. The campground has a serious rat problem, and because of it, our RV was damaged. This issue should have been prevented and properly addressed by management. This is not a kid-friendly place at all. Children are constantly being reprimanded for simply acting like kids. The property manager, Jessica, is rarely ever on-site. She is quick to complain and issue notices, but almost never available when residents actually need help. In contrast, the maintenance manager Daniel and his wife Becca are always around, responsive, and willing to help whenever needed. They are the only reason many issues get addressed. Residents are charged random fees with little explanation. Then management claims payments are late in order to tack on additional charges. Eviction notices seem to be handed out every couple of weeks whenever a new charge is added. The bathhouses are extremely outdated and honestly look like something out of an old horror movie. The cabins are old, poorly maintained, and some reportedly have black mold. During our stay, someone even passed away in one of the cabins. Management claims to conduct background checks, but some of the individuals staying here make that difficult to believe. Overall, this has been a terrible experience. Between the rats, questionable fees, poor management, outdated facilities, and lack of concern for residents, I would not recommend this campground to anyone.

Greenbrier Campground is fantastic in so many ways and absolutely deserves to be enjoyed by everyone. We rented the deluxe cabin that sleeps 4, which has a wraparound porch overlooking the river, plus a fire pit and grill. There are chairs everywhere--two on the side porch, two with a table on the front porch for morning coffee with a view, and five Adirondacks around the fire pit. The cabin itself is newly built and really sturdy, more like a tiny home. Inside you'll find a couch, a dining table with bench seating, and a kitchen with a 2-stool peninsula. The kitchen is fully stocked: plates, cups, bowls, silverware, pots and pans, can opener, toaster--you name it. A skinny staircase leads up to the loft, which is about 36" at the highest point before the beams. It has an outlet, light switch, windows on each side, and two firm twin foam mattresses. Surprisingly comfy--and super fun for kids. Our 3-year-old loved it. The bathroom was spotless with great storage between the counter and medicine cabinet, and the shower was a good size. The master bedroom has a Fire TV, tons of shelving, and plenty of outlets. As for the amenities: you get river access, a game room, and a playground. It's also very dog-friendly, with poop stations and a dog run, which we appreciated. What really stands out? * Service: The staff are incredible and make you feel right at home. * Upkeep: They genuinely care about their property. Everything inside and out is immaculate, and they enforce the 5mph and noise rules so everyone stays safe and comfortable. * Pricing: Super fair--especially if you have dogs! Downsides (and I really had to reach): * Bed: I'm pretty sure the master bed is a full, not a queen. I brought flat sheets, but it definitely felt smaller than a queen. * Shower curtain: It's adorable, but it tends to cling to you while you're showering. * Pocket doors: You need to slide the door all the way and hold it while locking until it catches. They're just a little loud, especially with a toddler sleeping in the loft since sound travels. I've honestly never stayed anywhere so clean and welcoming. Next time we'll probably book the deluxe cabin that sleeps 6, and we can't wait to come back. They anticipate everything you might need and truly care about you having an enjoyable stay. I can't recommend Greenbrier Campground enough!

They also have food that you can order and have delivered to your site (we didn't use this service either because we brought our own food, but we might try a meal next time). I highly recommend this site, especially for families.

I love that they have a place where you can go grab a snack or a small little country store to grab things you forgot to pack. My wife loved that she could get a latte in the morning. That was a big bonus. Todd and Shannon were rock stars as far as hospitality. So as far as the location I gave it a one-star because there should not be tent camping spots anywhere near a busy road. I thought that it would not be a big deal but ended up being a very busy road with lots of loud traffic all hours of the night. I imagine that the other tent sites that are further away near the yurts are much better. I think they should turn the tent can't sites near the road into camper or cabin sites. I don't believe I'll be going back anytime soon because that is a very hefty price to pay for a tent site where you can't get any sleep. In fact we checked out a day early.

From the moment we started, Sam was warm, kind, and incredibly attentive. She made us feel completely at ease, welcomed every single question, and thoughtfully adjusted the pace to suit our group so everyone could fully enjoy the experience. Her depth of knowledge was amazing--we learned so much about the plants, trees, and wildlife of the Smoky Mountains, as well as fascinating insights into how the Cherokee people once lived in harmony with this beautiful land. The scenery itself was absolutely breathtaking, but what made it even more special was the way Sam brought it all to life with her stories and passion. As a lovely surprise, she even prepared a delicious snack for us along with homemade herbal tea, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch. We are so grateful we chose this tour and had Sam as our guide. It was meaningful, educational, and deeply enjoyable from start to finish. We would absolutely book another tour with her and this company and highly recommend it to anyone of any age looking for a truly special experience in the Smokies.
