Yogi in the Smokies

"Always loved camping here! Had been a loyal camper the 3rd weekend of October for 17 years, and Memorial Day weekend for 4. The last 2 years we've stayed at KOA instead. I just logged on to check if things had changed back to normal, and to my disappointment it had not. I wonder why 3 years ago you couldn't get a cabin in the month of October unless you booked a year in advance. Today when I looked there were 12 with bathrooms left and about 5 without. Guess that says it all! I'll keep checking and WILL for sure be back as soon as things change!"

"My husbands family has been tenting here for generations. His family as kids grew up going here, him and his siblings as kids going here. We have carried this tradition onto our kids lives as well. We absolutely love tenting here. We choose October because there is something about the fall season here. The Halloween activities are super fun for all ages of children, even teens get excited. We like to tent the riverside sites. Fishing is available and we take advantage of that too. I have seen reviews about being crowded. Yes there are others here, but for us it brightens the experience. (Not too crowded to us) Everyone is friendly and talks. You make new friends and so do your kids. Also I am happy the WiFi isn’t super strong at our site because we go for an internet disconnect anyway and family time. If you prefer WiFi it still works very strong at the front desk/office and they even have coffee there. We have seen others check their phone while grabbing a cup of coffee there. Thank you!"

"We stayed here this past weekend, me, and my daughter, and my son for two nights on campsite, 124 Riverside and it was absolutely wonderful tons of campsites cabins to rent some of the best bathroom and shower houses I have seen to date very clean. The employees were absolutely outstanding in their job and personalities with greeting and meeting people and helping in anyway possible, my daughter had a broke foot and was on a scooter. They went above and beyond to make sure that she could experience the haunted house, the hayrides and everything I cannot say enough about the employees 10 out of 10 for them. We had a campsite on Riverside and it was absolutely wonderful Park employees always came by every 15 to 30 minutes. Check to make sure everyone was OK great activities and Halloween themed for the kids with trick-or-treating best camping trip this year so far will definitely be back in the future."

"This place is overcrowded and all the tents and RVs are super close to each other. I visited with my family on a labor day weekend and they make me pay for 3 nights instead of 2 nights that I asked. They said “its a holiday weekend and we book for 3 night only, no less”. So I paid for 1 more night even though I didn’t stay there. In the tent area people would walk right in front of your tent, no respect to your privacy even at night. They asked me not to charge my Tesla even though i had a regular 120v charger. I said I understand and I will not but they brought a paper and made me sign it that I wont charge the car. They were coming and checking every night if Im charging the car which was very annoying. Overall I wont recommend this place to anyone. There are lot better places with more respect to privacy and quiet."

"My family really enjoyed our stay. It was my grandkids 1st ever vacation. The DJ by the pool was a great idea! I got a good laugh from the yeti monster or Darrell as I like to call him! The wagon rides wet cool for all ages. The honor system for fire wood was great as well. I hope no one abuses that! River access was good! So many smiles, I hate it went by too fast. My wife wants to go again next year!"
