    Thank you so much. We work hard to provide outstanding service and it's good to hear that it shows. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    This is a small campground, beautifully shaded. Many "regulars" that return year after year. However, it is not made for large rigs. We had our 38' Class A on the largest site they had. We would not have fit on any other site.

    Response from Mountaineer Campground · May 2026

    We're so glad you enjoyed the shade and had a chance to experience the community we've built here. You're right that Mountaineer is a cozy, tree-filled campground, and our sites are best suited for smaller rigs and travel trailers. We appreciate you sharing that heads-up for fellow large-rig travelers. We hope the location, staff, and value made the trip worthwhile, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime you're rolling through the peaceful side of the Smokies!

  • Rated5.0out of 5Fantastic!

    When we checked in the hosts were concerned we would not fit in the site we had reserved so they provided a bigger site. The host also helped us get the cable set up for our TV. The campground was clean and the hosts were great. The campground is not far from Cades Cove and the Smoky Mountains National Park as well to other sites. Their wi-fi allowed for streaming for the TV's so we switched to that with our firestick and it worked with no speed slowness at all. The only thing I wish were different was that you didn't have to reconnect to the wi-fi every 24 hours. It didn't take long but it was inconvenient if you were watching something. All in all I say this is a great campground and we will definitely be going back for our next stay in Townsend TN

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share this. We're glad the team caught the site fit at check-in and got you into something roomier, and that they could help you get the TV squared away. It's great to hear the Wi-Fi held up for streaming too, and the 24-hour reconnect is good feedback to pass along. We'd love to have you back the next time you're heading to Townsend.

  • Rated4.0out of 5Great!

    The campground and facilities were clean and there was a peaceful atmosphere. The staff was welcoming and attentive when engaged. It ,"is what it is",an older property with compact sites best suited for trailers/motor homes. Nice tent sites are limited, glad to have selected one! The location provides good access to the community and served as a convenient launch for activities in the Smoky's!

    The river site that we had was beautiful! A little snug with the campers beside us but not terrible. The bathrooms were very clean and comfortable and the laundry area was too. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. When we needed something they were right there to help.

    Cute campground right on the water. The bathroom was clean and showers were nice and hot. But, the best part was definitely the Customer service, which was amazing!

    This was a great place to throw a tent! There’s not much room between camp spots and it is very over crowded for the price. There’s staff was very friendly and the grounds were quiet, until… The loud drunk party of bikers and RV gang showed up! Cops drove through about 11 Saturday night, and they quieted down, but quickly started getting loud and fighting all over again. The sound and sight of the river close by is heavenly, but the unkept path down to the river is unkept. It’s really close to the highway and constantly hearing the “whoop whoop” of the cops pulling speeders over was annoying.

    Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the river and our team. We’re sorry your stay was disrupted by noise; that’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’re working on better managing quiet hours. We also appreciate your notes on site spacing and river access, as we continue making improvements. We hope you’ll give us another try.

    We had a very nice stay, Marco and Stacey and Randy were all great. Our river side campsite had a great view of the river, looked like there had been some clearing done to improve the view! We will be back this summer!
