Great Smoky Mountain Hippie Camp
We had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this private, wooded campsite. The fire-pit setup is cute, but we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it since we were busy hiking and exploring Pigeon Forge, which is just 15-20 minutes away.
The site is tucked away off the beaten path, offering plenty of peace and quiet. However, it’s a tight spot for turning around, making it best suited for tent campers or small campers. Since this was our first experience with a private campsite, we learned we needed longer hoses and extension cords. The water, electricity, and sewage hookups are spaced farther apart than what you’d typically find at state or RV parks. In the picture, you can see the water hookup (circled), with electricity to the bottom right and sewage to the bottom left.
We had to move our camper back and forth a few times to find the sweet spot where both our water hose and electric cord would reach the hookups, but once we got set up, the rest of the trip was smooth and enjoyable!

Private, Gorgeous Retreat
We loved how private the site felt! The fire pit with the stringed lights, they even left us a little wood and some yard games! Perfect open area for our dogs to play. The only issue is when we how small the turn around is if you have an RV. We have a smaller one at 21 feet with a van. Very tight to turn around, put a bit of a damper at first trying to figure that out, but once we did everything else went smoothly. We heard some russling in the woods each night, which I’m sure was a bear. We’re local and used to it, but if you’re a tourist, just be aware and stay away from them. Loved the spot and would camp here again! We’d maybe just pull our camper with our smaller vehicle or tent camp. VERY tight roads to get to the spot. Thanks again!

If You're looking for somewhere to get away from everything quiet roomy and if you have pets is a great place to stay. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

The private mountainside spot was a spacious, peaceful camp site. Olivia has gone the extra mile to create a welcoming space with the cool fire pit area, some games and full hookups! She was quick to respond to questions. We were towing a 23’ Airstream, and have years of experience. The steep gravel lane leading to the site, and the way the RV site was laid out was a bit of a challenge for maneuvering a rig that size. The site is more suitable for travel trailers under 20’ or small Class B rv’s

Peaceful Mountain Camping
We enjoyed the spacious, private mountainside retreat. The site was well-maintained, and having full hookups was a plus. Olivia was very quick to respond to questions. We were towing a 23’ Airstream, and the steep gravel lane leading up to the site was a bit challenging. Getting turned around to go back down was even more difficult because of the electric pole, the sewage site and the steep uphill and downhill slopes. It would be fine for small motor homes and towables under 20’, but I don’t recommend anything larger.
