Little River Campground & RV Resort en los Estados Unidos

Our initial reception by a friendly woman who provided us with ample information about the town and its attractions was great. However, everything else was a disappointment. They failed to inform us beforehand about the extra charge for using a credit card and only accepted cash to avoid this fee, with no checks accepted. It was somewhat a relief to be virtually alone during the low season, as a full camp would mean RVs cramped together with tents in close proximity. Troubles began when we received two parcels during our stay. We had informed the office about their expected arrival, but the office was always closed and the contact number led to an RV resident who rarely picked up and never returned calls. We were notified four days later that our first package was at the post office and the second one was left on their back porch without any call to inform us. We had to call to inquire about our package. The unhygienic conditions were a major concern, with open bags of garbage scattered around the remote sites and uncleaned bathrooms. The garbage from the shower/bathroom was not cleared during our stay. The campground is not prepared for winter RVing: our water connection froze at their faucet, so we had to disconnect our water and sewer and use antifreeze in our system. On our final night, their power pedestal malfunctioned, leaving us without heat during a night that recorded single-digit temperatures. We checked our power cord early in the morning and found the 20 amp was working, providing some heat but not sufficient to run all our appliances simultaneously. Despite these issues, we appreciated the quaintness of Townsend and its proximity to parks and hiking spots, which made for enjoyable day trips. This is why we gave it two stars. However, if we return, we will opt for a state park instead.

Beautiful morning view of the Smokys! Peaceful little campground (approx 50 sites) with full hook ups and several sites available along the river. Owner also owns the farm next door and you are free to walk around and check out the animals. Current bathhouse is ok and it’s heated with decent hot water. (They are in the process of finishing a new bathhouse) Only possible downside for some would be the farm noise (dogs who bark at night and a rooster who crows before dawn). It didnt bother us and thought it was kind of neat. Easy to find, the newly completed Foothills Parkway is right up the road, plus it’s only a 20 min drive to Pigeon Forge

Our stay was great! The setting is clean quiet, and convenient to the National Park and other attractions. Very clean restrooms and very friendly, helpful staff. This was our first time in the area, and we want to come back so we drove around and checked out the other parks. It confirmed that Little River is the best. The other parks were so crowded with very tight spaces.

Stayed there for two nights during the pandemic. Very quiet, nice and spacious camp ground. well leveled. Full hook up. We enjoyed the walk by the little river and the farm nearby. The only downside is wifi not stable. I know most people camping to stay away from business, but we need wifi to keep kids in remote learning. Will come again.

My wife and I travel full time in our RV for the last 2 years. We have stayed in MANY campgrounds all across the country, and this is the second worst. Very narrow road with narrow sites makes for a nightmare backing in. Workers here are overly unfriendly. Service is non-existent. When I emptied my tanks, sewer came up in site #48 all over the ground. I told the office but they never cleaned it up. Next time my tanks wouldn’t drain. Worker blamed me for blocking the pipe, then discovered their tanks were full. Although they claim to be ‘dog friendly’, there is NO PLACE to bring your dog except for a small strip of grass next to the highway with no fence. Because of this, there is dog poop EVERYWHERE! Even in the road. There are permanent RV’s here with mold so bad that I can smell it 4 campsites away. They are also in terrible states of disrepair with trash all over their sites. If you don’t pay extra for a riverside site, you do not have any access to the river. One good thing I can say is they have a great laundry room. It is open to the public but kept very clean. 9 washers ($1.50) and 10 dryers ($1.75). The area is beautiful and has many campgrounds. Stay at one of those and use this laundry room.
