TN PRIVATE, SINGLE RV OR TENT SPOT ON 7 ACRES: OFF-THE-GRID single private RV or tent site, primative camping so bring your own camp-toilet or be self contained, not a "camping" subdivision with neighbors within 10 feet, your private mountainside and Hummingbird Valley to enjoy. In Pigeon Forge but ABOVE the city hustle and bustle, adjoins Dollywood so you will hear the train whistle and roller coaster excitement (Dollywood hours are not too early or too late); less than 5 minutes to Old Mill, Dollywood, le Conte Center, grocery stores, shopping and many attractions, short drive to Gatlinburg, white water rafting, zip lines, hiking, horseback riding, Smoky Mtn Natl Park Off-the-Grid, - NO water, sewer or electric BUT 5 minute walk to indoor, heated pool (pool is closed for renovation until about mid-October) and access to propane grill and picnic table 3 minute walk up the road at barrier gate. Only 1 site on private gravel road on mountainside acreage with no thru traffic; you will unlock/lock gate for entry/exit to your private mountain-side wooded retreat with view of valley through the trees and mountains in the distance. This RV site is on the mountain side not in the valley or mountain top. Access road is blacktop to the barrier gate and then 2 minute drive on a 1 lane gravel road to the campsite (see pictures). There is a 50 foot circular area to turn around so if you are too big to turn around in 50 foot area--you are too big for this site. Maximum length for most drivers may be about 25 foot trailer unless you are very skilled at backing and turning. There s wildlife in the area so be sure food and trash are inside your RV or vehicle. Do not leave food or trash out as that will attract wildlife. Trash should be deposited in the garbage cans in the metal cage by the barrier gate. SO OBVIOUSLY - AS ALWAYS/EVERYWHERE -- DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE; AS THAT CAN ENDANGER YOU AND FUTURE CAMPERS. These are wild animals even if they are in the city of Pigeon Forge.There is black top road to the barrier gate which you will unlock to enter your private mountainside. A 2-3 minute drive down a gravel road leads to a circular area on the left with the #1 post and photo cell light that marks your campsite. You will have access to use the gas grill and picnic table at the barrier gate. Three buildings back from the gate you will have access to an indoor, heated pool. The mountainside acreage borders Dollywood. You are minutes from the activity of Pigeon Forge but you will be above it all and have PRIVACY! You will see into the valley below (fire flies in season) and more mountains in the distance.

This is a perfect “dispersed” or rustic camp site with a lot of privacy, yet it’s so close to the heart of Pigeon Forge. If we needed something from the grocery store, there is one a little over a mile from the campsite. Brian, the host was very friendly and helpful in helping us have our best stay possible. We will definitely be back!

Tent

One word, WOW! This site is super private with a thick forest on one side and a wood embankment on the other. There was ample space for two vehicles and our tents and camping equipment. The campsite was clean and easy to find based off the hosts directions. A private locking gate separates you from the rest of the world! I ABSOLUTELY loved being next to Dollywood hearing the rollercoasters going by and the train choo chooing along! I would think a medium sized RV would have no problem navigating the road to the campsite and turning around! I had access to the pool which was a great way to cool down after a day in the national park! Garbage cans and a grill were available for use near the locked gate. I couldn't have had a better private campsite so near to Dollywood and all the local attractions. Thank you Brian for allowing campers in your private retreat!!!

When we arrived at this campsite it was locked behind a gate. Although the owner gave us a code to unlock the gate, after multiple attempts we could not access the site. We tried calling and messaging numerous times before abandoning the site and staying at a nearby Walmart. When we finally got in contact with the owner the next day he said this had never been an issue but would not come and assist us, even after we sent a video of us trying to unlock it the way he explained. I would be very wary of anyone booking here.
