Stopped here unplanned when we had a water issue with our RV. Hadn't planned on staying but…read morethankfully Dumplin Valley had vacancy and was able to recommend a mobile Rv repair service too. We stayed one night and they were SO accommodating with a last minute reservation! We pulled in after dark so I was surprised to see the farm like beautiful setting when waking up the next morning. It was a great stay and I was surprised to see the place so empty! We decided maybe we should stay a second night it was so enjoyable. By the time we went down to the office to pay our site was already reserved for the night, so we would have to move spots. Slightly obnoxious since there were only a handful of sites occupied, but we were late to decide so that's our fault. Ultimately we decided that if we had to pack up to move sites then we might as well get back on the road- and so we did. It was still a beautiful, picturesque and farm setting that was peaceful and quiet plus accommodating! They don't have any 'resort' type amenities but power was water are plenty amenities for us!!

Beautiful campground! Quiet. I had business to conduct in East Knoxville and this place was PERFECT!read more

We stayed there for 3 nights in the summer. The hosts were welcoming and friendly. The spot we…read morehad was nice, secluded, and had a small creek about 30 feet away. I love the somewhat dense canopy of trees to offer shade and help reduce wind when its windy, even if the Starlink doesn't like it. We will be back and look forward to future stays here.

This RV park was very conveniently located, tucked away on a gorgeous rolling hills property that…read moremet all our needs. The pavilion location was an added bonus.

We rented a cabin here for my birthday. 2 bedrooms and a small kitchen. Place was clean and we felt…read morevery comfortable. While this is mainly an RV resort with long term tenants with permanent trailer living residents, it is a good place to stay for a weekend. There's not much around as far as restaurants and such but within a short driving distance you have Harrahs casino, hiking and water activities. Campsite overall was clean and people were respectful and quite during quite hours. We enjoyed our time and would definitely consider staying here again if we're in the area to do some hiking and sightseeing.

Clean park with easy sites to access and a few cute little cabins if you need to rent one.read more

Staying here for 1.5 weeks and love it. The park has trees and grass that are just lovely (from…read moreAZ). They had rented us #27 when we booked and called a day ahead and said that person wanted a couple extra nights and would we take #30, we said ok. I think #30 was perfect. It was at the top of the road and an easy pull through. The park is quiet and friendly. It's under newer management and they seem to be very interested in doing things well. Met both the new owner and manager, both very nice people.

It's very convenient to Auntie Ruth's Donuts & Pretzels and Troyer's Market which is a must have if you're in this area.

Buddy Bear is no "Buddy" to smaller-sized travel trailers…read more I recently stayed 3 nights (Dec 27 - Dec 30) at Buddy Bear RV Campground and was very disappointed with what transpired. I booked my stay from their webpage and received a confirmation email on December 15th for Site #4 which is the one I reserved. Site #4 is a premium site according to the website and it costs a bit more than a regular site. My fiancée and I wanted to stay along the river and at the time that was the only site available along the river. The day I arrived for my stay, Dec 27th, I received an email at 12:37 PM, So around check-in time, stating I was moved to site #21 which is a regular site and not along the river. It is also not large enough for a travel trailer and the towing vehicle to park in. I asked the manager lady why I was moved to a different site and was met with the following responses: "We try to put smaller campers in the smaller sites and save the bigger ones for potential larger campers to rent out." "It's a very common thing, we've been doing this for 30 years and you guys are new campers you'll see." "Park your vehicle over behind the dumpsters if it won't fit at your new smaller site." "The river is still close by as it's just across the street." "You should lock in the site if you want it that bad but it will cost extra." (There isn't an option on the website to Lock-In a site) Someone was already residing in site #4 upon my arrival, I can only conclude they extended their stay and the managers or owners didn't want to move them and figured it would be easier to move me. When we asked for a refund of the difference between the premium site and the regular site I was informed there were no refunds. I also asked to be moved to a different site along the river as there were 5 available at the time of my arrival. The site's 5/7/9/10/11 were all available still and along the river. I was informed that they were all booked up for the holidays and there was nowhere else to put me. Once we kept asking for the refund difference, ONLY THEN, did a premium site magically become available for use. Site #18 is not by the river but at least a large spot for my travel camper and tow vehicle. They had to inform the tenant on site #17 to move his extra vehicles from the site so I could use it. To be clear, they were going to put me in a smaller site, and not give me a refund of the difference before telling someone else to move their extra vehicles from a site they weren't paying for. At the end of the day, I stayed in a "premium site" although it wasn't near the river like I wanted. But we are at least even financially. The morning I was packing up my travel trailer to depart, DEC 30, I took another lap around and wouldn't you know, Premium Site #9 along the river was never booked or used from the moment I showed up until the moment I left. This means they lied about being "completely booked up for the Holidays" We will never be staying here again. My Mother and her Husband won't be, my fiancée and her family won't be either, nor will some of my Army buddies when we take group trips in our campers. From now on we will be staying at Ripplin Waters, it's $57.50 a night there or $60 during holidays so also more budget-friendly! They have over 150 sites with more than 40 along the river. Best of all THEY WON'T MOVE YOU TO ANOTHER SITE OR DISCRIMINATE BASED ON THE SIZE OF YOUR CAMPER.

I think the name has changed to Buddy Bear and currently they are short staffed so everything like…read morecheck in is done virtual and with a code for the gate. I enjoyed this campground because it's by the river, small, quiet, and away from all the chaos of pigeon forge. However it's close enough to get to amenities and tourist areas if desired.
