I made a fairly last minute decision to camp here on my way back to Nashville since:…read more-it's conveniently close to I-40 -had availability -I had a coupon -familiarity with the area -somewhat close to the AT This seasonal campground offers RV sites, camping cabins, and tent sites for rent, and amenities include a camp store, a nice bathhouse, laundry facilities, an in-ground pool, sand volleyball court, playground, pavilion, river access, free WiFi, and is dog friendly. (There's also a rafting company on site on the other side of the property.) On the day of my reservation, I received a call from one of staff advising they were closing the office/store a little early, and gave instructions on the self check-in process which was seamless. Since I didn't have the full catalogue of camping gear in tow, I reserved a camping cabin. These cabins face the Pigeon River, have two windows, electricity, four bunk beds (three twin, one double -- but bring your own bedding since it's not provided), a table and bar stool, a heat/air unit, a mini fridge, a microwave, and a broom and dustpan. On the porch outside I found two chairs and a small table. Directly in front of the cabin (which is the side that faces the river) are a grill and fire ring. I was able to park my vehicle next to the steps leading up into the cabin. Just a short walk away in the bathhouse, each of the bathrooms requires a code for entry. I counted six of them, three of which I had access to via my code, but there may be more elsewhere. Each of three I saw were equipped with a flushing toilet, toilet paper, a sink, mirror, hand soap, hand towels, a bench, and a tiled shower. It's your own private, fully functional bathroom (when you're using it, that is). Bring your own towels and toiletries, and you're set! Oh yeah! This is glamping for sure! The one immediate drawback I noted was the interstate noise. 40 is right there, and loud. Inside the cabin with the air unit fan running, I couldn't hear it very much, but outside...ugh. The second thing I was surprised about was the office/store. I read they're open everyday from 0800-1700. I totally get closing early in the afternoon, but the office/store literally was not opened at all during my entire visit. I was disappointed. Fortunately, there's another store nearby where I was able to procure firewood. I like this place a lot aside from the two above-mentioned items, and I would consider camping here again despite them...especially for the right price.

Several campers had repeatedly called KOA Corporate and they absolutely do not care at all, and would only tell people to talk to the campground manager. The County won't do anything either.

As well, the woman at the check in was an absolute gem. True southern hospitality. The cons: This campground is nothing like I thought it would be. I was parked between a row of fifth wheel trailers in what felt like a parking lot with no shade to be found in the middle of the day. There was a "creek" behind us but not at all anything you could fish in or do anything with. Very underwhelming. I felt like I was camping in a parking lot. I was told I had a different campsite than the one I was given and by the time I had everything set up I did not have the energy to take it all down and move sites. The noise from the surrounding roads diminished any relaxation that was to be had. It was in a beautiful part of Tennessee and not too far off of I-40 which is why we chose it, but the noise from the traffic made it a destination that I don't think I'll return to.
