Camp Margaritaville RV Resort - Pigeon Forge!

[@andreaandiwilliams9232]

I would not be one that would enjoy this type of camping. I am a county girl and love the woods, rivers and cooking over a fire etc. love the idea of this kind of campground for those that have kids and a waterpark would be nice in the summer .Thanks for sharing and Mike you always make a nice campfire!! Very cute pants with the pugs on them, they looked comfy!

[@FridaysForever]

Sounds great! Thanks so much.

[@mariannelee899]

Haha..snacking on a cherry pop tart while watching this. Will have to keep an eye out for the grape.

[@FridaysForever]

Awesome Marianne!

[@martowe9689]

Hello Mike and Karen thanks for taking us along . Thanks for sharing Mr T with us he's so cute .

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure!

[@jaymejohnson2375]

Grape poptarts!!!!! No way!! You just made my day! Lol it's the little things sometimes

[@ameliaedge5253]

Margaritaville and Smokies are an unusual combo. That's like if Dollywood opened on the Gulf coast.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing!

[@marycaskey9211]

So nice to see you enjoying your camper . We love it that you take all of us along ! Be safe

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Mary!

[@Knowfere]

I like how spread out the sites are and the roads are wide, would be easy to park anything!

[@poshbyjodygreeneisen5147]

Great singing! Your furbaby is too cute! Love your pj pants! My husband has always wanted a pug! ❤️

[@kitkatv333]

That's a great place for folks that want to be in the heart of all the tourist things there. At least y'all got a night to just relax with no cleanup. Looked like Big T enjoyed their doggy park 😊. I'm like y'all I'd rather be out in nature but it's neat to see different things! Thanks for taking us along. God bless!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for the comment Kathy! Our pleasure and God bless.

[@karenk2831]

Big T is such a sweet boy! Love the pug sleep pants Karen! We got an old boy too, Pokey our Shih Tzu. He loves traveling. We take him to the Smokeys. Love your camper van it is sooo nice. Buffet looks pretty nice. Very clean looking dining area/buffett and resort all around. 👍 Thank you Mike and Karen for doing this review.

[@adventureswithrae7053]

We stayed there at the Lodge in November and loved it. The room was huge and the kids enjoyed the tent bed.

[@FridaysForever]

Bet that was nice - thanks so much for the comment.

[@nancywood8705]

Really like Margaritaville, lots to do. Love Big T. He,s having fun too.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for the comment Nancy - Big T says Hi!!

[@nanasue9987]

Thanks for letting me travel along with y’all. Some day I hope to visit East Tennessee. I would rather watch your videos any time over a Hallmark movie . Y’all are much more interesting . You two are so blessed to have each other . I don’t know how y’all stay so slim with all that rich food . I bet you don’t eat like that everyday. I really enjoy the camping videos .

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure Nana Sue and we appreciate you watching and leaving us a comment. We don't eat like this most of the time!

[@danthompson1467]

I got to tell you . your both are so blessed to be able to travel and enjoy all you do and able to eat the food you do . My wife and I can’t travel because of so many sensitive issues and we can’t eat anything like you with out causing a major thyroid issue . So we really enjoy watching and feeling like we are along and normal keep up the great videos and enjoy every moment because you never know when you just may not to be able to anymore 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@FridaysForever]

We understand Dan and will be praying for your health. Thank you for the comment.

[@judyparker8283]

Oh my goodness! Each to his own, but Margaritaville would definitely not be what I consider camping. With no trees, no river and lots of noise, It definitely doesn't have that mountain feel to it. Still, I always enjoy seeing ya'll embark on another adventure!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing.

[@4EverTrippin]

New subscriber here! We are headed to Camp.Margaritaville Pigeon Forge in April 2023! Great video 📹 👍

[@jeffdickens7019]

Hey Mike and Karen guys I thought the campground Margaritaville was just okay nothing better than being on the River camping and a good fire going glad to see that y'all continue to enjoy life God bless and take care

[@FridaysForever]

We agree with you Jeff - thanks for the comment. God bless.

[@topadventures2.0]

I like your pijamas, we have two pugs, and they are amazing company.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you - they have the best personality!!

[@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl]

We love skee ball and yep Pearl normally wins too. Antique Roadshow is so fun to watch. This reminds of the campground next Kings Island called Camp Cedar

[@DebbieBowling]

From Ky. Loved this episode!! We love camping in the "woods" but would like to camp at least one time there. LOL I'd love the amenities they have to offer there!! But summer camping for us!!

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Debbie! Thanks so much for the comment.

[@poshbyjodygreeneisen5147]

We stayed at the lodge last September and loved it! Our doggie loved the dog park too! We also enjoyed the bfast buffet! Beautiful views!

[@sheilawillis490]

We like the "up in the mountains, by the river" kind of campground....but we don't camp..lol. We always stay right down the hill at Creekstone...free breakfast there, too....💚😊💜

[@cbhgirl1224]

I heard they are stopping people videoing their vlogs in the park. I think this is sad news for all tax paying Americans. Especially the ones that are aging and can't explore the national parks much anymore.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for the comment Shelia.

[@KathyWalters-ol8mh]

Always love every one of your reviews. You are my #1 you tube favorites! God bless you.

[@FridaysForever]

You are so kind Kathy! Thank you. God bless!

[@jerlynhill4074]

Good morning, guys, I too love the mountains, and North Carolina and Tennessee are my favorite states, enjoying looking at your videos, take care, love 💕 you guys

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure! Thanks for the comment.

[@daleVk]

Thanks for the Video.Have a Great Day.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks, you too!

[@paulettebrochet2011]

Thank you for showing us this campground and hotel. Our grandson would love it and we would if we stayed in the hotel too. But as far as camping, I think its not for us. Too busy I bet once kids are out of school for summer...we like the quiet and peaceful atmosphere like the Townsend area campground y'all we're at recently. Prefer the sound of the river and looking at the stars. It is a beautiful resort and lots to do for families. Thank you for sharing.

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure!

[@kellymclellan9135]

Now that’s my kind of camping!

[@nanasbeesewing2241]

We camped there last August! Love this place!

[@meltcmelinda4012]

I couldn’t tell Big T was having a blast 😃running through the dog park. :) I’m like you, i like the woods and streams and quiet except for the sounds of nature. It is a beautiful camp ground though and has great amenities. Thanks for bringing us along, let’s break out the POPTARTS,,!

[@FridaysForever]

He did! Thanks so much for sharing with us and yes the grape poptarts are back. Appreciate your comment as always. God bless.

[@donparker4553]

Love to go there just for breakfast buffet! Nice campground!

[@tevbrannan5885]

I will definitely plan a trip here. Just got a B van and looking forward to more travel.

[@bluebutterfly841]

We’d like up in mountains or by river. Making our own breakfast, lunch probably dinner out. But really a nice campground for Families. If it’s away from traffic noise. I’m sure in summer it would be loud and crowded. Tks for info. Have a blessed weekend.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for the comment. God bless!

[@Jmerrill]

I totally agree when it comes to the camping aspect of the resort. I need to be in the Mountains when I’m camping. We absolutely love the hotel. It’s one of our spring/summer hotel. Thank you for sharing.

[@FridaysForever]

We always enjoy the hotel on the Island. Thanks for sharing Jamie!

[@DreamingOutloudRVing]

Great video guys! We hope to camp at a Margaritaville soon. Thanks for sharing

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much! We hope you can try it soon. Our pleasure.

[@bufordteejustice1119]

Thanks for sharing. The RV park is awesome we just booked our room at Margaritaville in Gatlinburg for June. Can't wait to get back. Your videos keep me going until then.

[@FridaysForever]

Sounds great!

[@kathyg1346]

Love your videos! Love the mast general tshirt too!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Kathy!!

[@JohnPaynekj4wzo]

Good video Mike & Karen, Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Just a FYI, Pick up a TV antenna or if you have one on your RV. Lots of over the air TV channels most every where you go. Just incase you don't or can't get Wifi or Cell service.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the tip!

[@virginiacook4230]

Thank you for sharing.😀 We would love to stay at this campground. Love seeing Mr. T 💙

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure Virginia! Thanks for watching and commenting. Big T says Hi!!

[@EEE.155]

Very nice video looks nice there ,Big "T" is so adorable bless his heart good to see him enjoy the park🐶

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you Angie.

[@birdieking33]

Love ya'lls channel and loved this video. We'll be @Camp Margaritaville in the fall and can't wait.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you so much and we hope you enjoy your stay!

[@terryscrogham7729]

As always another great video, we have not seen that camp ground. Do they have tent camping available there. I kinda agree with you Mike we enjoy more of the wooded area camping.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Terry! We didn't see any tent camping but please check their website.

[@samanthasims1282]

Love seeing Big T!!!! He enjoyed the dog park!!!!!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Samantha - he did!!

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Great to see you exploring a wide variety of options for your RV travels. Thank you for sharing. - Tennessee Smoky

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the comment Tennessee Smoky!

[@johns.6183]

Mike, I agree, we also prefer that “smoky mountain feel” similar to what you’ll find at KOA in Townsend or Greenbrier off 321. Either way, looks like you guys had a blast!! Thanks for the excellent review!!

[@FridaysForever]

Well said! Our pleasure John and thanks for watching.

[@rocketlauncher1504]

Glad to see you both are doing well. Thanks for taking us along. God Bless!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much! God bless.

[@skippyjones4195]

Hey guys thanks for sharing 👍✌️❤️

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Skippy! Our pleasure.

[@sandrawyrick]

I think this is my second vlog watched. I have been subscribed though for awhile. The other vlog, you cooked hotdogs outside at a campfire. I think it was a KOA. I enjoyed it. So far, what I really like about your channel is the simplicity and calmness. You two are very relaxing to watch. : )

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Sandra and thanks so much for watching our adventures. We appreciate your comment so much.

[@MsSusie1959]

Mike n Karen, You two have a good time no matter where you two go, Yes Camp Margaritaville it would be a little loud for me just saying, If you had kids that would be the place to go with them, Kids would love that place, Beside that it's a very nice place , I want to thank you both for taking us there for a night, Yes Mr.T. he was worn out bless his heart, He so cute, Hugs n Love to you both, and God Bless you three.

[@FridaysForever]

You are so sweet! We always look forward to your comments MsSusie. God bless!

[@michelb.8953]

I enjoyed seeing it. Kids would love it. If I was able to go camping, I'd want more woods and stream too, but I did like all the roads and pads being paved/concrete. I remember the grape pop-tarts, they were my favorite...without the frosting. And, I'm glad Karen got her pug lounge pants.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for the comment and for watching.

[@doristaylor9386]

Glad y’all are camping in a campground!!! Love these Rv campground videos! Good job!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for watching Doris.

[@delanomiller]

We've camped in that spot!! We love it especially that breakfast buffet!!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the comment Delano.

[@living4himga]

Awe Big T! I love him.

[@FridaysForever]

He's awesome and thanks for the comment!

[@armandoyourpersonaljeweler7558]

I prefer dry camping or boon-docking myself, but going to a spot that has full hookups from time to time is pretty nice. We have talked about taking the travel trailer there when we move to Kentucky in the future. Definitely loved visiting pigeon forge. 😊

[@timmoore3666]

Hey Guys Happy Almost Friday to you. Just wanted to say Thanks for sharing your Great Smoky adventures with us. Our prayers for Mike on his recovery. Thanks Again

[@teresacantrell7400]

I would love for you to do a camping video from the Pigeon Forge “Sun Outdoors” campground. It’s right in Pigeon Forge on the left before you get to Walmart. We drove thrift and it was really nice. Thanks for sharing your camping trips with us! God Bless and safe travels!

[@FridaysForever]

It's on our list Teresa! Thanks so much for the comment we appreciate it. God bless.

[@George-py9bt]

It's definitely a different type of camping. You should compare the one on veterans parkway. Still enjoyed the video

[@jefft7915]

Hey guys is this the old Boyd’s bears location? Thanks again for sharing your videos.

[@sheilawillis490]

Yes

[@sandradummer4726]

Hi Guys, love and enjoy your style of camping, and places y’all go to and eat at, we all don’t know any of it unless we try it.

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you Sandra! We are trying to provide this information for others like you said.

[@tonylinkous7940]

I picked up the negative vibe about the campground. We have been through it a few times , but have not stayed there. It felt to busy for us. In warmer weather it's a mad house there. We like Pine Mountain, Its a couple of blocks off of the parkway at red light 6. You make camping look relaxing. We always seem to be has crazy and busy as if we were still at home. I have a hard time relaxing and not doing anything. Love your video's

[@FridaysForever]

Hey Tony! Thanks so much for sharing with us. Hope to see you camping sometime!

[@Mawmawonthego]

Really enjoy all of the videos. Thank yall for making your videos because you love it. And NOT making this a job that shows in the videos you put out!!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Mo! We always have fun and glad it shows in the videos.

[@RestlessRVandTravel]

Thanks for a great overview of this rv resort! We are looking at going to Camp Margaritaville this summer! It looks like there is a nice variety of things to do, and the views of the mountains off in the distance makes this place seem super enticing! Thanks for the review! 😊

[@FridaysForever]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and we hope you can stay sometime.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video, the campground is a little pricey, I camp at the bottom of the hill, in Camp Riverlanding nice campground..

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks Danny! Riverlanding is a good choice.

[@james42570]

Another great video. Mike, my wife said you're going to turn into a piece of sausage. LOL What's your favorite brand of sausage so far?

[@gunlover067]

I like the quiet side of the smokies like Townsend and wears valley camp grounds like you said by the river less crowds because one thing i can't stand is a bunch of drunks being loud. Looks like a nice place but not for myself it's not secluded enough for my taste. Love the adventures guys 👍👍

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate you watching as always!

[@RhondaA]

Looks like a really nice place, all minty fresh and clean with lots of family friendly amenities. The theming is off though...I don't get the whole tropical Jimmy Buffet situation in the mountains. I mean, you don't see mountain themed campgrounds at the beach, so I don't know. It IS really nice though.

[@FridaysForever]

Good point Rhonda! Thanks so much as always for the comment.

[@nelsonlowery5864]

Hey guys just found your channel really enjoy your interactions with each other my wife and i just got a class A motor home and hope to travel a bit realky enjoy your videos and Big T is awesome.

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Nelson! Thanks so much for the comment and congratulations on your class A. We appreciate you watching! Big T says Hi!!

[@davida8164]

Great video, thanks

[@FridaysForever]

Glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching David.

[@KevinFryAdventures]

Great job as usual! It is always great to see Big T!!! It looked like a nice campground, but not my style. I need a stream or woods. Have you checked out Mile High Campground on the Cherokee side? Lots of elk!

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much! Big T had a blast. Appreciate the suggestion so much and thanks for watching.

[@olafpamela]

Like your lounge pants Karen . Mom & dad stroller please 🐾🥰 Thanks for sharing 🤗 God bless

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Pamela! Our pleasure and God bless.

[@lindasaffles4189]

Love the review and how you all evaluated everything covering it all. Great information to know. I had kinda thought the same thoughts about the environment there. It's good to know we can trust your judgements on places in the future. Safe travels.

[@FridaysForever]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jameskeys971]

Love your channel! Greetings from Western Greece.

[@FridaysForever]

Hi James - thanks so much from Western Greece!

[@vickimadsen7396]

Thank you for this video! We love the resorts like this, but I get it's not for everyone.

[@SunshineAllDaywPugs]

Love Big T! He turns his head sideways when he runs. Great lounge pants.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for the comment Victoria. Big T had a stroke several years ago which causes the head tilt.

[@SunshineAllDaywPugs]

@@FridaysForever He is so precious, glad to know he has more time with you!

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Mike and Karen is it really camping when ya go to a restaurant to eat there's no cooking on the grill or Blackstone hahaha😄joking guys it really looks nice plenty of stuff to do especially if kids are involved. The food looks good you don't have to worry about cleaning up after. I must say Karen has to be a pro at skeet ball the way it looked a great video guys I think Big T enjoyed it to stay safe🤙🇺🇸👍🇺🇸🙏

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for the comment. Karen is good!

[@druebachmann8234]

What make and model knife are you using to create smaller kindling pieces, in your "Building a fire at Camp" section of this video? I need to get one for our Fall & Winter camping. Love y'all's videos!!

[@maryfrench8100]

Hi guys, I've never been camping before, but I think I would love it. I saw a sign that said "lazy river" on the inside. Was there an actual lazy river on the inside? That would be really neat. Thanks for sharing.

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Mary - no, the lazy river was outside as we showed in the video. Our pleasure.

[@PG52765]

Hey BIG "T" 👍 Enjoyed watching.

[@FridaysForever]

Big T says hi - thanks so much for watching.

[@kengreen2260]

That seems to be a nice campground but I am like you, I would prefer a Smoky Mountain feel to a campground. We have always enjoyed Creekside RV Park on Henderson Springs Road. It would be a benefit for someone looking for a campground to visit if your review included the hookups that are available such as water, electric, sewer, or even if cable TV.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for sharing Ken - We will try to include this more in the future.

[@blneikirk]

Looks like a nice place and thanks for the review. What month of the year were you there? Thanks

[@carolday6192]

I enjoy all your experiences including restaurant reviews some are more gorgeous than others but don’t give up on new maybe baby camp spots that can stand more development because they are a place we need to see maybe visit ourselves 🤔

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much for sharing Carol.

[@donnieherring6429]

Nice video! Looks like a fun campground.

[@FridaysForever]

It was!

[@fafafohi2boss533]

They are really building up that area....My parents took my family to Gatlinburg in 1982.....it's very different now

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for the comment.

[@doristaylor9386]

Breakfast looks yummy!

[@FridaysForever]

It was pretty good.

[@ericalay9082]

big t is adorable

[@FridaysForever]

Aww thank you Erica!

[@annearmstrong14]

Good video but we would prefer the mountains and quiet too.

[@FridaysForever]

Totally understand and thanks for the comment.

[@rickl9253]

I always enjoy your videos! I was just curious about how old Big T is? He sure is a handsome guy and I can see that y'all love him very much. I'm also curious as to how you feel about the enforcement of the no videos in the national park? I have a feeling that ruling is going to be repealed in the not too distant future. Keep up your awe some work. We have a small motor home, we love the Smokies, and we look forward to your next installment of Fridays Forever!

[@FridaysForever]

Big T is 15! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. God gave us this great land! This land is your land, this land is my land. These lands are public lands that belong to us. It is all of our lands to enjoy in many different ways. We are praying for the right decision to be made and encourage you to do the same as we continue to research and talk to people who know more than us. So much is unclear at this time, even judges are still divided on this issue from months ago. So be encouraged as this is worked out.

[@sandradummer4726]

Looks like they have a little something for everyone.

[@Enjoywatchingyoutube8227]

Thanks for the video and sharing this location. To me I would need more tree covering and less wide open that everyone could see your every move. To much concrete 😉 Someone needs to talk to Jimmy Buffett and tell him you need some sand a tiki bar and 🦜🦜🦜 parrots añd maybe 🤔 a few 🦈🦈 sharks oh and maybe a cheeseburger 🍔🍔🍔🍔

[@mikeaboring]

Hi Mike and Karen, great video as always, love your channel. I encourage you to go to Indian Boundary Campground it is near Tellico Plains, TN. I truly believe you would love it.

[@FridaysForever]

Hi Mike! We will check it out in the future hopefully.

[@michaelburt1663]

The buffet reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn…. If you got the reference, your a Jimmy Buffett fan.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks so much Michael!!

I'm going to give you guys the bad news first it has been said on KZbin videos from many upstanding KZbin providers that you can no longer film in National parks...I know you do alot of different types of videos...just wanted you both to know....thanks for driving your tank and braking for the geese...take care p.s. love this video too.

I was happy to find grape pop tarts.

[@FridaysForever]

Yes!!

Looks like it would be good for a family with young children or young grandchildren.

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks for the comment.

[@koalabear6722]

Cute lounge pants. Love the camper. TY, I heard a lot of background noise Probably great for city families, ect. Probably very pricey too. Just saying

[@FridaysForever]

Thank you for the comment.

[@jeannecaldwell1248]

Glad you showed this campground. My husband and I have wondered about it. I like the idea of things for kids, which we don't need, but prefer woods or river myself. Did you like the hook ups? We have an older class b and hook ups can be a problem for us. love your channel

[@FridaysForever]

Thanks Jeanne - we hope it helps others like yourself decide about staying with them. We only used the electric but it was all available for use.

[@michaelmerck7576]

The breakfast looked good ,the eggs looked good but for 13 dollars you might could just cook that in your camp for way less but it is no cleanup at the buffet
