There is an arcade for the kids and you can spy on them via the cable TV. Plus you can walk to a pancake house.

I called the Hilton Garden In Pigeon Forge, I spoke with a woman at the front desk who told me they had availability. I asked if she needed a deposit to hold my room and she said no. I informed her we would arrive very late and had a 6-7 hour drive. She said she would hold my reservation. Upon arriving the man at the front desk told us the reservation had been "booted" from their system and they gave our room to someone else. So we left. We called several other hotels on the same strip. No availability. The last call brought me to Tonya at Margaritaville. From that night on our stay was amazing. We met Rusty at the front desk who took care of our stay. Tonya Craven who made sure not only we were taken care of, but every guest these two came in contact with were happy and taken care of and made sure we all felt at home!!!! This place is dog friendly. We lovedddddd this! The food at the restaurant was really good and Seth the bar tender down stairs was very personable and made sure our food was on point. The hotel was clean. The room had comfortable beds, cozy towels and was just right. The hotel is decorated beautifully for Christmas. The New Year's party with the live band was fun! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. If we didn't have to be home for scheduled meetings, we would have extended our stay a few more days!!!

Bath houses are cleaned every morning. By the end of the day, they can get pretty disgusting. The first pool closes at 8 and the second pool is open until 10. It should be the other way around to be honest. Overall great campground, I would recommend and do not read into the negative reviews. You are not going to please everyone.

There is even a trolly stop to get into town from the front entrance. The weekend we were there, it was packed. Even so, the site was easy enough to back into. Tons of campers had their TVs out to watch the game and grilling, but there was little noise and noting disturbed us inside our rig. Kids enjoyed the pool and having fun while many families rented the facilities golf carts to get around the camp. The Bad: The campground is way more packed and has smaller sites than what the photos indicate. You will find it to be congested, especially on the weekends. Also, some sites to not have a dumping capability, you will need to dump at a common site when leaving. All and all, we will certainly be coming back.

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.
