WE LEFT AFTER JUST 1 NIGHT OF OUR 7 NIGHT RESERVATION

We were suppose to spend a week at the Jellystone Campground in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee but we left after one night. Find out why we left and where we ended up in this week's video.

Wow. Your picnic table ends up right by the neighbors sewer hook-up. How lovely. 😮 Can’t blame you for leaving.

[@Bigrignohio]

Appears to be right up to the transformer serving that area as well. Their slide was right over it. Not good because A) They hum. B) They put out heat. C) If overloaded they can burn. And what is the chance that on the hottest days of the year, with ever-increasing RV sizes and loads, that the transformer sized for a decade ago is overloaded?

[@paulao7022]

YUK!!

[@kathrynude3454]

Ok. You had me with the pool time. Great decision to move.

[@tucsonjack3991]

Most RV parks were built years ago when tow vehicles RVs were shorter/smaller and there was ample room for both the rv and tow vehicle. Today with our larger tow vehicles and rvs, yeah, you’re going to have a lot of tight fits. Don’t sweat the small s5uff Folks.

[@Sushi2735]

Don’t blame you in the least. That is no bigger than a parking spot at Walmart. Second sight is so much nicer, and a fire pit! Nice having a camp store for odds and ends or even an ice cream! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is our next adventure when in Pigeon Forge thanks to you! We were at The Ridge this past Spring, and it was also very nice, but this is another wonderful place to add to our next visit. Still close to Dollywood and surrounding area so a big plus! We can't wait, thank your for filming and letting us in on the new "secret" place! Safe travels!

[@lsnoss]

Just wanted you to know we have taken the plung. Renting our first Camper and heading for Camp Margaritaville RV resort in September. You did a great review of the resort and my husband and I decided to make it our first experience! Thank you for the information.

I just got back from Margaritaville and I agree, it’s one of my favorite of all time. Although the margaritas were wonderful, my favorite drink was the Banana Breeze….sort of like a frozen banana colada. Anyway, cheers ! I love y’all’s channel !!!

Patrick, you are a master at backing up at a campsite! Wow… there wasn't any space. 😮 But the fun part was when Patty said “I like them all!” 🎉 Its refreshing to know I'm not the only campsite snob!!! 😂 What a SCORE!!!

[@charlesklaus6290]

Welcome back to East Tennessee! Sorry the Jellystone basically sucked. From the video I wouldn't stay there either. Margaritaville looks way nicer! Glad you found it. A little pricey for us but it is a resort and not just a nice campground. And we wouldn't stay at Jellystone for half of what they charge. We're from Knoxville, so very glad you're enjoying our beautiful East Tennessee!

Suggestion....you should use a cable lock on your surge protector. One of the most stolen items in campgrounds. Note that is what the metal ring is for on the top cable

[@poohnsissypooh6631]

Nice place Surprised they had last minute openings

[@dugie5246]

People have to remember that at lot of campgrounds were designed and built for smaller RVs. Some older campgrounds have revamped some of their sites to accommodate larger RVs. But campgrounds are like restaurants. Get more people in to make money. Tables smaller and closer together just like RV sites. Live and learn. Thank goodness some RV parks allow you to move or cancel without you losing money. But, it's camping, not staying in condos, motels, or houses. Enjoy

We stayed in a campsite just like this in ft Myers u walk out of ur Rv and ur cement area u can stretch your arm out and touch the slide out of the Rv next to you. It was ridiculous.

[@LilbitCT]

That is super tight. I've been to campground like that. Neighbor's picnic table was almost on top of my sewer connection. That is so gross.

[@Erin-Thor]

I hate those RV parks where you have no room to breathe. Those with trees in between and a feeling of privacy are my favorite.

[@robertdavis5714]

What a difference...........From bad to good.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

looks like it was worth the change. That is one of the beauties of RV travel, as there is something to fit every camping need it seems. We love a mix of nice 'resort rv spots', some off grid spots and of course some State/Provincial/National park type sites. A good multi week trip has some of everything. Continued safe travels....

[@territ8837]

At the first place your picnic table was right next to your neighbors sewer 😖

Two weeks ago we stayed at the KOA Oceanside in Bar Harbor Maine. We had a beautiful site with a fantastic view of the water untill a giant North point 5 th wheel parked rite on the line that divides the campsites. Needless to say the veiw was gone and the person would not move his rig up and over 5 to 6 feet so we could have some kind of view. He told me after asking him to reposition his camper so we could have a little better view to next time pick a better site.

Wow. All the bs from the last 4 years has made some people so hateful 🤦🏼‍♀️😔😢

[@TravelingWithSpecialAbilities]

Yeah, Margaritaville seems very nice and not a bad price per night. I travel in a bus conversion. Do they allow buses?

[@lightwarrior432]

I found this on their website for you 😉 RV TYPE POLICY: Camp Margaritaville is an RV resort. Approved recreational vehicles include class A, B, and C motorhomes, fifth wheels, hard-sided travel trailers, hybrid travel trailers with pop-out beds, toy haulers, hard-sided truck campers, pop-up campers and teardrop campers. All recreational vehicles must be factory manufactured only and currently registered, maintained in good condition, and in running order without leaks of any kind. In addition, all RVs must be leveled and supported with the proper equipment. (Tent camping or auto/truck camping tents are not permitted.) 15 YEAR RULE: We do love a great restored vintage camper; however, we will need to pre-approve any RV more than 15-years old to ensure that it is maintained and in good condition. Please email images of your RV within 48 hours of booking your stay to [e-mail] for approval. RVs over 15 years old that arrive without prior authorization may be denied entry.

[@marysharvey]

What an awful camp site. I would never stay one night there. They have shown how greedy they are by turning a campground into a parking lot!

[@joycejudd5109]

certainly, I would agree with the first campground being too tight. Perhaps they're under different ownership than when you were previously. I also wonder - is there a difference in the cost of the campgrounds? I suspect the 2nd is a bit more costly than the second - worth it for sure, but I just wonder.

[@lightwarrior432]

The prices are at the end of this video 😉👍🏽

Couldn’t agree more. If you’re not feeling good about a park or even a site, move on.

The first Rv park would have worked for us. We aren’t the type to hang outside. Everyone have different needs. Just so it’s clean.

We don't live far from there. PF is a popular destination for us. We drove through this campground and immediately said, "NOPE, NOPE, NOPE".
