Glad we found this place and there was availability when we wanted. Its very quiet, private but still very close to pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. Even better that the trolly transit picks up right in the campground. Going to definitely add this place to my future returns

The perfect campground close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, without the noise and congestion of a resort Campground. Big sites, not on top of your neighbors. Full hook up 30/50a, no bath house, no pool, just peace and quiet.

This is an RV park. There are no playgrounds, bathrooms, showers, or other buildings. But there is a nice little dog park. This is really just for RVs. It's very quiet here, just like I like it. It's very clean and well kept with plenty of shade trees. I didn't feel packed into a spot like some of the other places located nearby. Everyone that we have met was very nice.

It was like a state park. No shower house type of amenities but full hookups but it is a SWEEEET spot. On the Pigeon Forge Bus Loop every hour. Our first campground ever, and it will be hard to beat going forward.

Spacious and Beautiful!

If you’d like a spacious site and natural beauty, Up the Creek Campground is definitely the way to go! Unfortunately, many of the campgrounds in Pigeon Forge are packed tightly and nothing but concrete. This camp has beautiful landscaping, mature trees, the creek going all the way around the campground, and natural beauty to enjoy.

The only drawback is that there is no bathhouse or restroom available, so your unit must be self-contained. Aside from that, everything about this place was absolutely perfect.

Enchanting!

The camp is bordered by two crystal clear flowing creeks that produced a stunning view from our RV. Large lots with plenty of shade trees created the kind of privacy seldom found at most RV camps. It is quiet and clean with nice level lots, which included table and chairs, fire pit, and slab. What made this park unique was that it was only minutes from the main attractions, while still maintaining its “in the country” atmosphere. Coupled with a friendly and accommodating staff, I give this park five stars!

We had a most enjoyable vacation. Thank you very much, we cannot wait to return!

I Can’t Recommend it Enough!

We loved it here immensely and after seeing other RV parks, no one holds a candle to this place. We realize we got very lucky finding Up the Creek and have been spoiled!! When they tell you the sites are spacious, they are accurate. They have many shaded and private sites as well. This place is serene, quiet, tranquil, and we have never stopped coming back. We’ve never been able to find another campground that compares with this one, thus we have never been able to stay anywhere else!

All of our dealings with the owners have been top notch.
