This place is very relaxing to stay in. We are not packed in like most RV places we have stayed in. Two pools, one climate controlled for big kids and a small lazy river for the smaller ones. Also a variety of pull through or back in spots are available. Well thought out lay out with all spots on concrete slabs. Also two dog parks for those of us who have fur buddies. A gym and a small arcade. If you stay here I am sure you will enjoy a quiet restful stay, we have the last two stays!! read more

Do not stay here in the winter!!! We stayed at The Ridge Outdoor RV Resort and unfortunately, for the price, this was a huge disappointment. I'll start with the only positive: the pads are nice and level, and our fifth wheel parked easily. That's about where the positives end. What they don't tell you when you book--and pay well over $100 per night--is that the hot tub closes every single day at 6:00 PM during the winter. There are no signs anywhere stating this. We showed up night after night thinking something was wrong before finally asking, only to be told, "Oh yeah, it closes at 6 in the winter." That makes absolutely no sense. Most adults use a hot tub at night, after a full day of activities--especially when visiting the mountains. If I wanted to sit in a hot tub during the day, I wouldn't have traveled to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge in the first place. This felt like false advertising, as we always choose campgrounds specifically because they have a hot tub--and we were unable to enjoy it when it actually matters. Next issue: the laundry facilities. We intentionally booked a site close to one of the two laundromats. Unfortunately, the card-only washers and dryers do not work. Staff is well aware of this and said it's been an ongoing issue, yet it hasn't been resolved. At one point, we were told another guest was charged $90 while machines repeatedly said "declined." There is one washer and one dryer that you can use--but they're double the price, and you'd have to wash everything together (colors, whites, towels, jeans--all in one load). Completely unacceptable. We also expected at least some activities in the clubhouse, especially for kids, as many resorts with large clubhouses offer. There were no activities at all. Bottom line: this resort charges premium pricing but offers very few conveniences. If I want no amenities and no nighttime hot tub, I can stay somewhere else for $50 a night. This stay felt like a complete waste of money. Needless to say, when we return to the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge area, we will not be staying at The Ridge again. read more

I had the pleasure of spending 2 nights in one of their tiny homes! The comfort and amenities were top notch! The home was spacious and private! The amount of storage was unbelievable! It has all the modern comforts of home; a stove, fridge, microwave, toaster and a coffee maker. Plus dishes and pots and pans! I loved the large shower and the fact that they provide towels and all you have to bring is your clothes and some food! Sit out on the front patio and warm up to the fire pit and enjoy the Smokey mountains as your backdrop! Nothing could be better! read more

Stayed two nights here. One evening there was a youth meeting in the building, this is great. I am wondering if this RV resort is part of the church then does this mean the monies from sites are tax exempt? I want my money going to facilities that pay taxes. read more

We stayed 2 nights on site 20, then decided to extend for 3 more nights, so we moved to site 15. Both were fantastic. We did love them both but did enjoy the gas fireplace option on site 15. This resort is so clean and well kept! We loved the upper pool area and hot tub and used it several times between October 27 and 31st! We wished we had gotten down to relax by the other pool area with the lazy river. The space is beautiful! Thanks so much for keeping them open with the great weather we had that week (while most other resorts had closed theirs.) We have definitely told friends about your resort and will definitely come again!! The cabins look amazing too! read more

Very nice new campground. The pad are huge. Great hookups. Amenities are very nice. The pool is very large and well maintained. The grounds are emaculate and maintained. Our only complaint is no shade trees. I suggest bringing an ez up for extra shade. I have to update as we had a bad experience the last morning. I will still give 5 stars but the last morning heavy equipment came in near our site at 7am. It was very loud and woke us from trying to sleep in on VACATION. I think they should have warned us or at least said that new din going to have construction and can be noisy. Personally I would discount that end of campground for customer service. Just my thoughts. read more

The Ridge Outdoor Resort - Site 62 - Resorts Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

The Ridge Outdoor Resort campground in Sevierville Tennessee. This Campground/Resort is just outside of the Smokey Mountains & Pigeon Forage so you don't have all the traffic congestion.

First class resort. Very clean and neat. No dirt. No mud. All paved with manicured lawns. 2 beautiful pools. Easy to access your site. We had the premium site. It has a gas grill. Out door TV. Fire place and our own hot tub that was amazing. 155 channels on my tv to top it off. Best place hands down in the state. read more

This Camping spot is top notch! I really don't think there is a bad spot in the entire property. It's convenient to everything and in a area of the city away from the traffic! read more

We have stayed here several times. Cannot say anything bad about the facilities or location. However, had a death in my immediate family and had to cancel with 2 days notice. Was hoping to at least be able to carry a credit forward for booking a future stay. No flexibility here at all. Out a 4 night stay with no options from The Ridge. Wished they were better than that read more

The tent was nice, but I felt it could have been cleaner and better maintained. The view from the tent was of the parking lot and there was very little grass anywhere. When I think of "luxury" tent camping, this is not what comes to mind. The map on the website shows what the location will look like after phase 3, which is not how it looks today which I felt was a little misleading. The pool area was nice, although when I called to inquire about measure they are taking to keep guests safe from Coronavirus I was advised that the pool was only allowing half capacity. If that is true then I would hate to see what full capacity looks like as lounge chairs were lined up with only inches between them and all of them full. There was also no one at the pool enforcing any distancing measures. I didn't factor this into the rating, but the speed limit through the parking lot is 7 mph, which would be fine if that wasn't selectively enforced. My husband got screamed at and threatened with being kicked out for riding his bicycle to fast, yet there were children everywhere on bicycles and electric scooters that were probably going over 7mph. But really how would you know without a speedometer or a radar gun? Politely educating that the speed limit applies to everything, not just cars/carts would have been sufficient. Threats are not necessary. read more

Great place! Has an amazing kids play place so family friendly. Amazing pools. The lazy river is newer then the deeper pool so it might make you toes raw. Otherwise this place was better than ever!!! read more

Heard great things about staying here but after two night couldn't wait to leave. The park itself is ok. Lots of up and downs with no really great views unless you are looking at other people's coach. No trees but at least the spots are paved. Water pressure isn't great depending on the time of day and if you are anywhere near the power lines, your Starlink and cell service won't work well. Our biggest problem was with speeders, other campers and their kids and garbage pick up. Even though speed limit signs are posted, cars fly through the rows. It is supposed to be an upscale resort but it really isn't. We believe in campground respect and rules but they are not followed here. The family across from us, looked like they dumped everything they could from inside their rv to outside. Tied up their dog outside that barked for hours and then their kids (who also ran wild) started throwing their basketball at our RV at 10:30 at night. Not a happy camper at this point! Figured they would have security driving around to help us out but found no one. Then once we finally took care of that issue, 5 am was garbage truck pick up which was unbelievable loud! I hate to write a bad review but we have since left and moved to another park where a number of others RV's here, left for the same reasons we did. read more

Stopped here one night. Brand new business great staff, decent width sites lengths are ample we are 45 plus a tow no need to disconnect. About 3 miles from Dollywood. Super cute tents n tiny homes to rent as well. Cable n WiFi were good. The clubhouse is great 2 stories. The sites are stamped concrete with a fire pit on each. Well manicured. And still building. The driveway in is steep but if can do it you can too :) Will return and spend a few days for sure. read more

This is an excellent RV resort in the heart of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg TN. The sites are level and paved. Very spacious. The campground and facilities (pool, bathhouse, laundry, etc.) are very clean. The people are super nice. Finally the location is excellent. The Smoky Mountains, attractions (Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, etc.) are an easy car ride away. Best of all, the campground is about a 10 minute drive up the road to Dollywood. I highly recommend this location and would definitely stay here again. read more

The Ridge Outdoor Resort - Spacious RV sites - Resorts Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Fantastic place to stay. It is truly an RV resort. Two heated pools - one with a lazy river - one with a hot tub. Grounds are clean. Two dog parks and plenty for the non-furry kids to do too. REALLY CLEAN - the grounds, amenities and facilities. The staff is GREAT and very friendly. If you bring your furry kids they will enjoy the open spaces to walk and stop by the office for the "dog" cookie jar - staff loves to visit with them. This place may only be a few years old but the owners clearly have a vision as they expand and the staff will make you feel welcome. read more

The Ridge Outdoor Resort - Resorts Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Very new and very nice! They do a lot with the kiddos as well! We stayed over Labor Day weekend and they made a shrimp boil for everyone who was camping with them for free! They also hired a DJ to do a glow in the dark pool party for the kids. We are excited to come back! read more

While the check in staff are pleasant and the camp site is ok, don't stay here. Last night on December 23, 2020, kids were up at the swing set until 1 AM. On December 30, 2020 spot 93 next to me had a party until 1230 blocking my site and I couldn't find the camp host both times. Yet at 1108 when I was walking my quiet dog, he came up to me to let me know it was quiet time and I needed to keep my non barking dog quiet. This place is a joke. Another item that unnerved me was that we had an unexpected snow storm on Christmas Eve and they didn't clean the streets until the day after Christmas. Don't stay here! The hosts suck! I will never ever go back. read more

Fantastic we stayed for five days everyone was nice and ice cream and Kona ice trucks came around dog park is very nice we are in site 59 and it has been great read more

Thank you to The Ridge Outdoor Resort, Mike and Jessica Hale for their incredsible hospitality. We had our 2020 national conference at The Ridge Outsoor Resort and it was a tremendous experience. First class all around and it was greatly appreciated. All of our consultants were thrilled with the Resort, the amazing meeting facility (and technology that works!), the caterer you chose us was awesome and we look forward to coming back again in the future. Many of our consultants are looking forward to our return for all of the above while some just want to see Mike to the macarena on the dance floor. LOL read more

This is a beautiful RV resort! We have stayed at The Ridge twice now, this stay being 10 nights. Both visits were in late fall, so I have not used the pool, but it looks very nice. There are lots of amenities, but we didn't use many due to staying so busy (we were here for a wedding and Thanksgiving this time). The sites are spacious and there is either a nice wood-burning fire pit or a gas fire pit at each site. Each site also has composite picnic tables. The bath house is large and clean and the laundry is nice with new LG commercial machines. The staff is so helpful. They also have event space you can rent. They offer cable and wi-fi and they also have a WiFi lounge upstairs that is a beautiful space to hang out in and is beautifully decorated at Christmas. Some of my family members stayed in one of the luxury tents and they are so nice, I was kind of jealous I didn't get to stay in there lol. Finally, the location of the resort is very convenient to town and all of the attractions without being right in the middle of it. Overall, I highly recommend The Ridge and we will be back! read more

This RV resort is top notch. It's as nice as they come. The sites are incredible and spacious. It's brand new and the owners are very friendly. So clean and the nicest sites you will ever stay in!! read more

Stayed here this week. An awesome fairly new campground. The sites are good size with paved level pads. We have already booked a return trip in 2 weeks. Have camped for 20+ years and this is one of the nicest campgrounds we have seen. Bath house, pool area, dog park and office are all very nice and clean. Close to Dollywood and Pigeon Forge. Love everything about the campground. read more

Stayed from March 21-25. Our annual Spring Break vacation ruined at The Ridge by heavy equipment (Excavators, Earth Movers, Wood Chippers) waking us up every morning at 8:00 am and running constantly until 6:00 pm. So loud and close to our site (155) that we couldn't even enjoy 10 minutes here during our entire stay. Jessica and Mandy at the front office seemed quite uninterested. I'm sure that when we made our reservations, it was no secret by management at The Ridge that there would be major construction and unending noise and disruption during our stay. This however, was never mentioned at all for us to take into consideration for our vacation plans. read more

We have stayed here twice. The location is great!! You are super close to everything but you are off of the main road a bit. The pool is very nice and clean and has a hot tub. There are 2 dog fenced in areas. Staff is helpful and friendly. We will return. read more

Stayed here several times and never had an issue until now. One of the maintenance staff members was quite rude to us. Wasn't going to let that ruin us from staying there again until they called saying we busted their pipe and left dog poop on the site. If you stay here be sure to take pics of your site when you get there and when you leave. Pretty sure we were targeted after the heated exchange w maintenance the day before. Save yourself the trouble and stay elsewhere. read more

First the good: The Location is excellent for avoiding traffic from the Highway. You really don't have to go onto the main roads if you don't want to. The staff was fantastic! They are very helpful, friendly and most efficient! The units were pretty clean and well kept. They do ask you to leave your dishes clean, I wasn't going to count on the last guests so I was washing everything before I used it. Now the not so good: We stayed in one of the tents. They were generously supplied with 4 heaters. We happen to hit pretty cool weather for the end of april. The experience might have been better had it been warmer. The beds are right up agains the tent walls with roll up windows right over your head and side. The wind was blowing in on me which made it impossible to sleep two people in that bed! My head was frozen even with the heaters That was great, but the rooms were either too hot or too cold. Hard to get a happy medium. I slept in the room w/single beds and moved the bedding so my head was at the interior cabin cause those beds were also under windows. Very tiny room! There is a TV in the LR and in one bedroom, not the other. The bathroom was a good size, but the I'm 5'2" and the counter height was almost up to my neck. You needed to be a giant to wash your face. They were generous with the bathroom linens and soaps. The shower water was very hot, but really weak. The kitchen was stocked but only with the really basic stuff. No bowls for mixing, no oven and a tiny hotel room size frig. I'm sure if you have good weather and open up the entire front of the tent, it's a great entertaining area. Not sure about bugs though, our tent was right at the woods. Tents 4,5,6 are way down away from the trailer park. You can't really walk to anything from these tents. They should put some stairs so people can get to the rest of the park without driving. We had friends that were staying with their motorhome up top. The sites for the trailers and motorhomes were pretty nice. They had a fire pit, and small picnic table. They were So close together, you could definitely hear your neighbor snoring! There would be no way to have a conversation without the next unit hearing every word. Also, be careful of the site you pick, the dog walk/park is in the center and that gets a LOT of traffic. I've never seen so many dogs at any RV resort I've stayed in. Hints: If you like the quiet tent 5 is the most remote. The Tiny houses are right by the entrance and there is a lot of traffic and noise. The end spots and spots near the Reservation center are very noisy with ppl and traffic. There are a few corner spots for RV's and those were the most private and quiet. read more

Pretty nice new RV resort with large nice pads, both pull through and back-ins. Fire pits on the pads is a nice feature. Only major problem I had was that I had a reservation for site 65 but received a call when I was about 10 minutes from the park that there was a motorhome broken down and unable to move and that they needed to put me on site 72 which was fine. When we checked in and got to our site, we had a waterfront site, only there is not lake there, lol. Water was standing in the road and every time someone drove by, water would wash across our pad with mud and debris. It had rained all day but this is a drainage problem and I'm sure would take several days to dry out. I went to the office to see about getting my originally reserved site back since it has been vacant since shortly after we got here on Monday (today is Wednesday) but was told it was booked this weekend, why couldn't they call the people that had this site reserved and move them as they did me? They said they'd call maintenance and see what they could do. Maintenance showed up with a front end loader and eventually pushed the water to where it would drain so Kudos to them. I do believe that my request should have been honored as site 65 was for me from the start. Wouldn't stay here again. read more

The Ridge Outdoor Resort - Flooding. - Resorts Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

We are in love with the ridge! We arrived late and found it extremely easy to check in , our tent was perfect! The beds even had warmers! We can't wait to come back again... I think we will test out the tiny home next! read more

I've loved our past experiences at the Ridge so it actually pains me a bit to write a negative review. In fact, until a few minutes ago, we wouldn't have let the one negative experience keep us from coming back, but we are now being targeted. One of the maintenance men unhooked our water on a cold morning where it was recommended that we unhook or pay $100 if it bust. The below freezing temps weren't until morning so we decided to wait until then. We woke up to it unhooked and were never notified that they had done this. This could have burnt up our hot water heater. We didn't mind that it was unhooked, just being notified would have been helpful. It wasn't until we hooked it up again to shower and fill on board tanks that the maintenance man knocked on the door and was quite hateful in our face with the text sent out the night prior. We informed him we spoke to the front desk already, and he basically called us liars bc no one was in yet. Our unkind encounter with him wasn't enough to keep us from coming back, but we got a call on the way home that claimed the water hook up was busted and dog poop left on the site. We have always cleaned up after our animals and I checked the site before we left. The picture they sent of the water hook up, would have been spraying water when we used it this morning, which it was not. We literally used it as we were leaving to was ice off the truck, it wasn't cracked, much less busted. If I had known our incident with maintenance would have lead to this, I would have taken pictures of our site before leaving. We would have come back after dealing with one bad apple, but after being targeted, we will not. There's plenty of other nice places to stay in the area. Don't stay here. read more

As their shirts say, I'm definitely a "ridgeaholic". We've stayed at the resort three times now and will be back Feb 2020. The staff is amazing. The owners are very welcoming and showed us and another family we were camping with the tiny houses and the safari tents. Both of which friends have booked to stay in on our next visit. We stayed on the 4th of July and they had daily activities for the kids including arts/crafts and a movie night in the pool. They also had a cookout for everyone there. I'm excited to see the resort once it's completed. The campground is very clean. Quiet at night. Bathhouse is very nice and clean with tiled floors and stone countertops. All slips so far are concrete that are for the most part fairly level. If you're visiting Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg then this is the place you need to stay. I've camped at a few other places there and nothing compares to the ridge. read more
