A GREAT PLACE TO RV/CAMP in Upper East Tennessee - Our Relaxing Getaway at KOA Cherokee Jonesborough

[@meltcmelinda4012]

Favorite part of the video, sitting around the fire and just talking about the day and sharing our faith in God. Of course it is all wonderful, driving to the camp ground, setting up and of course supper and breakfast. Cereal toppings, just plain, but the strawberries just with some whole milk, yum. On the Word of God, One has to be taught in the Lords word and life each day and grow. In the Psalms 105 the words, Call, Sing, Talk, Rejoice stir the Spirit, Holy Spirit. He lives within us, Sending my Love, Hug for Big T . waving from NC

WOWWW !!! So far, it's my favorite 🏕 camp site. Went down the Nolychucky River in '81..great memories.. thanks for taking us along....

[@brianstaggs8707]

Thank you for doing what you do! A medicine destroyed my kidneys. Your videos help tremendously to get me thru dialysis.

[@FridaysForever]

Praying for you Brian.

[@MajesticMe429]

My favorite part of the video was Mike dropping his Marshmallows, & Retrieving them. LOL 😆😂

[@gsantos8911]

blessed Sunday Friday’s forever 🙏🙏

[@davidbrcoverland7469]

Don't you just love those Solo Stoves, little campfire pits. I took a metal clay pot stand and slid it around the little fire pit. The stand is slightly higher than the pit and can hold a small skillet or sauce pan. Bon appetit.

[@reneebarrow4697]

Great video. That campsite was nice and big. Enjoyed the fireside chat. Turn your eyes upon Jesus is one of my favorite songs. Loved the shirts. No fruit in my cereal. Mike, cut you a small limb and sharpen the end next time to put your marshmallows. You could have gotten burned. 🔥 Hey to my man. Big T. Hugs 🤗 and kisses 😘. He is so relaxed by the fire whether it is a big fire or a little fire. Thanks for sharing. Be safe, have fun, and God Bless. ❤

[@michelb.8953]

I loved the campsite and just that area in general. It seems so peaceful and out of the crazy crowds. Getting a pizza at the campground is a great thing for them to offer. I can't travel anymore, but I feel like I get to see places by watching you guys. I have my eyes on our Savior every day. I believe He is coming very soon for some of us. We are watching the scriptures play out in front of our eyes. These days, I'm always looking up.

[@troyheaton3235]

Thanks for reminding us the importance of keeping focused on our Lord and Savior. This keeps me going each day since the loss of my darling wife this past February. Keep up the great work and your words of encouragement. God bless

[@bettybarnett6994]

One of my favorite places to camp!

[@Godsnumber1princess]

Hello friends this is Ronda Fisk the Manager here at the Jonesborough KOA. I’m so happy y’all loved your pizza! Next time you’re here we will provide you with some pokers 🤣. I LOVE that you talk about our father! I tell people when they come here it’s like God pulls the curtain back to give you just a small glimpse of heaven! We know that God is here with us! Thank you for doing this video. Next time you’re here let me know and I’ll show you the inside of our cabins!!

[@Godsnumber1princess]

As far as the history, Mike Walker the owner could tell you all the wonders of Jonesborough KOA.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for sharing with us. We look forward to staying with you again.

[@carolyncooper2535]

I’ve always say we need to have Kingdom eyes. Love watching your channel

[@Newt3700]

Awesome.. We used to go there (Chuckies) and eat very often. Met Kenny Chesney there, my wife even got up and sang with him, he wasn’t very famous then.Thanks

[@OG-Ghost33]

When was Chesney there? I wondered why they had the Chesney life size stand up poster In there? I just never asked them

[@judyparker8283]

I was so impressed with your make do campfire and the marshmallow episode was very entertaining! Looks like a very pretty campground. Thanks for taking this along.

[@stevenkatz402]

Awesome camp ground and thanks for sharing.

[@teresacantrell7400]

We have been to that campground before with some friends and we loved it.

[@Melaniegriffith-k9z]

The marshmallow part got me!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And I love Karen’s blog talks!! ❤

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

I live about 30 min. From there. Hope you enjoy. The Farmer's Daughter is a nice restaurant. It is family style brought to your table. There is a Mennonite store beside it. It is open on weekends. It is near Greenville, Tn. Not far from you. God's blessings and safe travels.❤➕ ❤

[@howardhobgood6814]

Beautiful campground , love the video , will have to plan a trip there , thanks for the tour !

[@kendrasmith6637]

Really nice campground. Loved your site. Perfect! Liked the small Mesa stove too. God bless 😊

[@PastorDanWhite]

Fresh strawberries when in season

[@pammiedoodle8693]

A very nice-looking campground👍🏼 I enjoy all your videos so much. They are so relaxing and informative. I also enjoy your devotionals. It’s always a nice reminder of what is most important in our life. And now, more than ever, we need to stay focused on Jesus! This world is spinning off it’s axis and if my family wasn’t already grounded in the Lord, we would be spinning with it! Hallelujah and Glory to God🙌🙏❤️

[@ritarolen7066]

Love the video and poor Mike says he has rocks in his mouth! I almost spit out my coffee!!! The Mesa looks like fun too. We have the Bonfire size that we carry in our travel trailer. It’s really nice. Praying for safe travels and thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s awesome to show others that being a Christian is not boring! We have fun too!!!

[@vickieengland7947]

Thank you so much for sharing the fireside talk. U2 are just amazing. I’m so happy to find your videos and that you love the lord and share things with us.

[@johns.6183]

We loved everything about this video. The retro shirts are cool as well!! No better place to camp than east TN and the smokies. Hope to see you guys out there. God bless!!

[@danthompson1467]

You guys are great

[@RMc-Nannie]

We love how you tell the internet connection. We like to hear you tell cell coverage and internet speeds and your different locations because we work from home/camper. That’s valuable info to us. We really enjoy all of your videos and how you honor God!

[@nataliewehner2283]

My favorite part was your persistence with the marsh mellows....I had bananas with my cereal.

[@deborahclaypool2349]

You two are the sweetest !

[@anthonyfleenor3642]

We love.that campground. Peaceful and relaxing AMD the hosts are so friendly and helpful. You have to try the Farmers Daughter restaurant.

[@airstreamhvac]

Hey y’all love your channel. My wife and I watch y’all often. We’re big fans of East Tn. BTW from what I could tell on the video it looks like the solo stove the tapered ring on top was inverted. It should be up

[@GreasyCreek12345]

We love that campground, especially when you stay right on the river. But if you fish the you’ll catch more in the pond than the river.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the tips!

[@sandiriggs6300]

Really enjoyed the video especially the spiritual advice.

[@sharisquatch8838]

I enjoy your videos and fireside chats. I give my worries/problems to God but I take them back. I really need help with that. It would be hard to beat that spot by the water. Amazing!

[@sharonsimplysouthern]

Oh my,!!!! My hometown!!!🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@cathyhennessee583]

Enjoyed your fire side chat. Any size fire is a good fire. It looks so peaceful by the river.

[@bobtedford7620]

you two live in such a beautiful area , its great you can travel around so we can see it

[@CindyYr11]

I thought those strawberries were be gone before breakfast today! Enjoy who you both are and your love for the Lord. Peace be with you all ❤

[@Justascrapin]

Loved your video and fireside chat. Thanks for encouraging us.

[@movinngroovin2104]

We live in Jonesborough now but, we camped their 2 years ago before we bought our home we would camp their when we visited our daughter. Before it became a campground it was a club Kenny Chesney played their. We camped right where you are parked we live about 15 min from their now. 😊

[@pamcamp1396]

Looks like a great place to chill! Love the river noise! I love putting Angel food cake torn up and put cool whip and top with strawberries!! Yummy!

[@George-py9bt]

Another great place out of the way to camp. Thanks for info on the Mesa solo. Would like one for outdoor home use. Bless you two for the videos.

[@pateberly1595]

Awesome word with the chat!

[@andreaandiwilliams9232]

Very nice campground and love that it is so close to the river! The fruit pies looked so yummy plus the fresh strawberries. The smaller campgrounds are the best to stay in. The t shirts looked nice with the design that you made. Thanks for sharing your adventure and always look forward to seeing your camping trips!!

[@KevinFryAdventures]

This is probably one of my favorite campgrounds that I have watched you camp at. That view is beautiful. Very good video.

[@wandawilliams3707]

As always, another enjoyable experience. Y’all keep praying for us. Much love and appreciation

[@sheilawillis490]

Would have loved to see the inside of the caboose....💚😊💜

[@koalabear6722]

Nice! Beautiful campsite. Definitely a neat little camping stove. Every day I get see the Creators beauty my eyes are wide open, spiritually also. 😊 Happy Camping 😊...hugs for Big T

[@melissacomer8404]

We have a second trip back there at the end of July. We'll be at the other end on the river. Hearing the sound puts me right to sleep at night. Such nice people there.

[@brendawhitt1964]

Love y’all ❤

[@reginacelia8966]

[@sarageorge7631]

Love the little stove! Are you able to attend church on the road? Love your videos and you sharing your adventures especially the area you have covered. We live in NC and think it is one of the most beautiful states! You to a great campsite; nicer and more private than I have envisioned KOA’s.

[@FridaysForever]

Our church offers several different times. If we can't make it we have our own little church service.

[@carlavision6143]

Mike and Karen, what a beautiful campground! Big T always brightens my dats. Really enjoyed your video and that pizza looked so good and your friend pies looked so yummy and delicious! I used to eat banana in my cereal and that was decades ago. Love y'all and God Bless!❤️

[@jimfowler1514]

🫶 You all! Another great video! Be Safe&Godbless!

[@andic1586]

Ok guys, a true camper would have whittled the end of a stick for those marshmallows. I can remember my dad doing that. Such good memories. When that marshmallow fell off I actually gasped 😂

[@MrBoejoone]

Wish I could get away. So jealous of the weather up there. I am in Florida south. 94 degrees today and your are wearing sweaters and jackets. I’ll be there in Nov this year. Hope to run into you guys then.

[@tonylinkous7940]

You guys seem so relaxed when your camping, Jeannie tells me, I don't know how to relax. Love watching your video's. We will definitely check this campground out.

[@shinybrightsouth1585]

Great video! Looked very relaxing!

[@cammybarrs7114]

Enjoyed very much 😀❣️ Love your Vlogs ❣️Thanks Fridays Forever❣️

[@amberbryant8141]

Beautiful camping ⛺️ trip. Oh look good pizza 🍕 and marshmallow too. Hi Big T, Mike and Karen. 🫶🏻❤️

[@vlewis399]

Always enjoy your videos. 😊 Especially your road trips & camping. Love the shirts. Was wondering if you’re planning on putting the “E” in Smoky… I know sometimes there is controversy concerning the spelling. Tennessee side spells Smoky whereas North Carolina side is known for using Smokey. Just curious if someone orders if they will have a choice. 👕 🤔 Keep those videos coming. Y’all are truly an inspiration to so many! Blessings 🥰

[@Kandy77788]

So nice!! Can you rent fishing gear at the KOAs? Thanks guys!💛🌞💛

[@FridaysForever]

We are not sure Kandy - sorry.

[@ted70281]

Love you guys

[@sandradummer4726]

Mike you need a paper plate, even just a small one for your marshmallow.

[@davidandjenniferhammond6203]

Love the t-shirt yall! Est 1937? Is that in reference to Mikes Mom? Don't eat them rocks!! Lol

It's in between mom and dads birth.

[@Momtocam1997]

Beautiful camp ground indeed…and as you stated, a perfect location to explore so many other places. We hope to do some day trips this summer/Fall. We haven’t camped since 2010, so it’s long over due. That caboose cabin looks inviting. We will definitely check it out. Thank y’all so much. God Bless. Hugs to Big T😊

[@williamsmith4528]

I like special K. The flavor hits different.

MY story: Was looking at Jones Borough a couple years ago planning moving to NE TN Right before Covid hit . We ended up in Pahrump NV, staying at Mother inlaws house , and still here. Had our Class C in the shop RV MASTERS one NIGHTMARE ,after nightmare, charged me nearly $10.000 a nine month ordeal, only to have to pay some one else to redo their mistakes another 10.0000 replacing the floor counter etc. the RV MASTERS jacked up. Now that's all done now addressing Our ck engine light that came on now been in the shop nearly four weeks only to drive off and they didn't fix the problem. One nightmare after another, and we just want to get to TN. The only thing I can say good came out of this is, Iv been writing alot music all Christian based best writing I have done thus far here in the desert , I plan on ministering along the country road heading to our new Home where ever that may be. But our trials just keep growing, to be honest the wind in our sails are diminishing. Please keep us in your prayers for a fresh wind so desperately needed,God Bless Most sincerely Dan

[@KaireLou]

I can’t believe I seem to have missed strawberry season in TN. I was in Michigan before moving last fall and the season there is at the beginning of June. I completely didn’t think it would be earlier here. 😂😂. If anyone knows of some near Newport TN please let me know!

[@locodriver3936]

Mike,man you need to start loading up some fishing gear

[@JandBBoldt]

Those tongs do not make good marshmallow holders do they Mike? Lol

Horrible

[@mrtimhawk1]

Do you ever do any fishing on your travels?

[@FridaysForever]

Not yet Tim.

[@peggiewindham4819]

When you don't have your firesticks for your marshmallows you can use a metal folk
