This campground has a selection of accommodation types to choose from. If you want to try a primitive life, you can book its tent site that has no on-site water and electricity. For a more comfortable stay, you can book from various cabin types or RV sites. All sites are equipped with free wireless internet access, basic cable, sewer, water, fire rings, and picnic tables for relaxation.

Premiere and Signature RV sites are offered by The Ridge Outdoor Resort. Both upscale sites feature free wireless internet access and cable. The Signature sites go a step further by providing an outdoor television for entertainment, a grill, an individual hot tub for you to relax your muscles in, and an outdoor wood-burning fireplace to keep you cozy during colder months.
If you are not driving an RV, you can book a glamping tent or a tiny home cabin. These accommodations are equipped with bedrooms, modern bathrooms, and kitchens, among other amenities.
What guests are saying about their RV resort experience:
“The Ridge Outdoor Resort is a beautiful, luxurious full hook-up campground with all the amenities and beautiful views. The kids enjoyed the pool and the covered basketball court. The on-site deli had a wide variety of choices, was very reasonably priced, and delicious. My husband took advantage of the indoor golf simulator and golfed Pebble Beach. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. We had a pet emergency the morning we were scheduled to check-out that resulted in us having to put down our dog, and the staff was so gracious and gave us all the time we needed to do that and then pack up. They genuinely care about their patrons and made our very difficult situation less stressful. I would highly recommend The Ridge to anyone looking for a place to camp that’s near Dollywood and the surrounding areas.” - by Google reviewer, Monica Totman

Best for: Families
You can find this picturesque RV resort along the banks of the French Broad River. The resort also is close to Pigeon Forge and Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Enjoy the beauty of the lush landscape throughout your stay.

There is also a swimming pool where you can have a refreshing swim. Children can have fun in the playground area. If I were planning a family vacation, this would be one of my top choices!
What guests are saying about their RV resort experience:
“Beautiful park. We stayed in a fifth wheel for three nights and it was so pretty. The sites are a bit narrow but it’s concrete and the side for RVs have a little grassy yard behind your rig. Each site is divided by lovely hedges and a Crepe Myrtle tree which makes it more private. The side with the river is for Coaches but I think I liked our side better. Extremely clean laundry room. Very very nice park, the only draw back is how crowded it is outside the park. Traffic is rough because you are right in the middle of everything. Staff was super nice and would definitely stay here again.” - by Google reviewer, Sherri Atchison

“This is a great rv resort! We stayed in our trailer on property for a week and had so much fun! The lazy river was great, also they have a swimming pool and hot tub all heated. We were there the last week in April and the weather was perfect! Resort employees were all so friendly and helpful! They have a breakfast buffet every morning that is all you can eat and it’s quite good. Bar and grill restaurant with plenty of food options and yummy drinks, the Strawberry margarita is the best! Also 5 minute drive to Dollywood, we got a 2 day pass to visit twice only $120 per person, far less than Disney and way less busy! Would stay here again!” - by Google reviewer, Cheryl Beak
