We had a great warm welcome from Abbey and the other animals! We only stayed a short while but we had a blast!

Good Camp Base Fit For The Pricing
We enjoyed our time here, and found it to be both as advertised and priced accordingly.
We weren’t looking for an isolated, wildlife immersive experience though - and if you’re looking for that, you should try another spot, as this location is very close to a residential area..
What we got was a safe, clean place to pitch a tent, surrounded by fence, complete with a covered area, fire pit, beautiful Mountain View’s, and coincidentally a star- filled sky. Running water, and a bathroom/ shower are nearby, outside the gate, and we found the location to be 25 minutes from our key weekend destination, Dollywood. The farm animals (very social) and serval were a bonus for us, and a nice touch if you have kids. (Bring apples for Abby the donkey, and horses Cherokee and Pet)
Kimber was pleasant, accommodating, and honestly exceeded my expectations as a host. We’ll definitely recommend this place to others.

Critter Camp was perfect for us! I loved being around the 2 horses and donkey. They would graze around the campfire and loved getting pets. Kimber was kind, helpful, and easy to get along with. There are other houses around, but I still felt like we had some privacy. Being in the valley, we had a big sky with good views of the stars and mountains. The location is so close to the National Park and Pigeon Forge, making exploring the region super easy.

Great host and wonderful pets!
Kimber was super friendly and helpful, my girlfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at her camping spot. Her horses and donkey were both very friendly and we had a lot of fun interacting with them. The lynx encounter was also very cool and I'm glad I got to cross that off my bucket list. The views and anemities are top notch and the location was very central to all of the things we wanted to do.
The only thing I would say is that you have a high likelihood of being within 50 feet of another camper and may end up sharing a fire pit. We did have the option to love into a larger field to get away if we wanted to but most of the camping amenities are in one area so we chose to stay there.
We had a great time getting to meet another couple but if you're looking for true isolation, this might not be the perfect spot for you.

Corkey's Critter Camp
Wonderful Experience
We came in on a very rainy night and despite being park in an area that we wouldn't have gotten out of on our own we were pulled out by a tractor (which my kids were ecstatic to watch). The animals were sweet and Ms. Kimber was a wonderful and patient host, even with my small horde of tiny humans, introducing each animal to the kids. Will definitely come back again.

Nothing fancy, but nice, quiet. Love the animals and the view of the stars! Easy to get to. Fairly centrally located. Owner is very nice!
