We Stayed at This BRAND NEW RV RESORT near the Smoky Mountains! FULL TOUR Forest Grove RV Resort!

[@noahgene7415]

Hey I’m one of the guards there! I’m glad you enjoyed the park, thanks so much for coming! We hope to see you all again!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@noahgene7415 Thanks so much! We’ll be back! Looking forward to seeing it all done!

[@tennesseesawmillguy1590]

My place is right around the corner. We have a few long term rentals on large lots. Those guys have worked hard on that place. The rain made it nearly impossible to get it done. I hope it does well. Great video.

[@rowenaboone7740]

Thank you for being so very pleasant. Great times. 😊

[@sapphirelady9217]

Nice review! Always good to see another upscale RV resort in the mountains. Thanks for showing!

[@missouritravelers]

I paid 16 dollars at a COE park Boat launch marina store with resurant slips for rent and boats for rent nice shower house Nice new playground Electric 50anp and 30 amd sites with water dump station.

[@larrylofton1959]

This RV Resort just quoted me $107 per night for basic back in!

[@f150bft]

It looks nice. That 89.00 per night is for campers maximum 25' The next level is $106. per night. Seems a bit high. There is a new CG on Watts Bar lake in Rockwood Tn. "Rockwood Marina and RV Resort" that is a little cheaper and is literally on the lake. Good review.

[@Sunny-kn6th]

On the high side but it’s in a popular area..

[@f150bft]

@@Sunny-kn6th Dandridge isn't really that popular. There are much cheaper places closer to popular areas like Pigeon Forge. Granted it is nice but not really that nice cost wise. I would think a newly opened place would lower the prices to draw in more customers. But it's okay I still may go there to experience it.

[@tonylinkous7940]

Good Job as always, You were about 30 minutes from our home. We drove through the campground, but have not stayed there yet. Don't forget to check out Appalachia Ridge. It's next to the Museum of Appalachia and opens the 30th of this month. The same folks that own the Ridge in Pigeon Forge, own this one also.

[@longstep4530]

Right now sitting on Centerhill lake at COE campground. With the Senior pass it only costs $15 per night. Water, 30 and 50 amp service. Dump station on site. Plenty of space and shade. Was at Anchor Down a few weeks back. Y'all enjoy!

[@albertoparra8870]

YOu GUYS DID IT AGAIN Great I want to go. I am glad you did the tubes ( so we dont have to ) I love the meat market, fresh bread, turnovers, you have sold us. Damn You folks knocked it out of the park this time. Thanks. You just gave me another reason to get out of Fl. thanks

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@laurakilmer8652 Haha yeah, the landing with the chairs is for the adults, the tubes are for the kiddos!! 😂

[@deebutler4217]

Great video! Thank you for such an in-depth review. Cannot wait to stay there!

[@TealOxAdv]

Nice review. Not crazy about the lack of privacy between the sites and no shade. Even though it’s in the mountains, it can get warm up there. The cafe looks really nice.

[@souettequinn4663]

Mercy! They stripped that area of all the greenery all the way down below the topsoil. Even a few trees would have made this much more inviting but instead, they are cramming as many sites as they can get. Not even allowing for any pull-thrus. And $109/night. Without shade, this region can be blistering in the summertime. :( Nice amenities though.

[@janicecrockett1400]

To be honest they probably sold the topsoil which is the reason for all the rock. I look for grassy area in a campsite.

[@tennesseesawmillguy1590]

They didn’t sell any topsoil. The place required a lot of grading to make something of it. Same for the top of the mountain where they are building cabins. It hadn’t been farmed or mowed in 35 years.

[@rvtastic2021]

Good looking park! It will be great when it grows in for sure and the upper level gets done🤩

[@toddramsay977]

Sprint is gone. They were bought by T-mobile 3 years or so ago. I work for ATT so I am glad to hear there is good service there. Great review! We stay in Creek Side RV Park off Hwy 321 to Townsend, in Pigeon Forge. It it about a 1/2 Mile off the main strip and about 1/4 mile off Hwy 321. So it is very quiet. We saw the park but it wasn’t open yet to drive thru this past spring. We went to the Bush’s Baked Bean visitor center, there in Dandridge, TN.

[@LoriFoster]

Looks like a nice place it seems this play may have been planned before the Pickleball craze?! Looks like you all are having fun. Nice video done very well! ✌️

[@gravleytrain7202]

Cool new park! Thanks for the tour. We were looking for new places in that area and definitely have to visit... we just subscribed to your channel!

[@adriannurse1502]

What an awesome resort. We hate spending that kind of money per night, but the amenities were definitely there.

[@christomczak3387]

Looks like the typical RV Park no trees around no shade stacked on top of each other

[@annekruszka8441]

I wish I knew this place existed in September. Traffic through Knoxville was horrible and we kept on to Bristol. This would have been a welcome stop. Planning a few day trip there for next year. Love your campground reviews.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@annekruszka8441 Glad it could be helpful for next time! Hope you enjoy your stay!

[@susanstevens3664]

Awesome video, y'all! I live in Dandridge an didn't even know about this rv park! 😮 I am shopping for my first camper and was just watching rv videos and yours popped up! I am going to run over there to check it out this week! Maybe I will rent a camper until I can get my own. I have subbed and I hope I will see y'all here or on the road soon! Blessings from Dandridge!

[@genewatkins149]

nice video! Great review good to see options available in that area!!

[@SandraKennedy-zh2ms]

Thank you for the review! We prefer trees and shade, though. We're not really "resort" campers. Looks nice for what it is and where it is.

[@bobdrawbaugh4207]

Looks like a giant RV parking lot. No mature trees. The kiddos will like the water features.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@bobdrawbaugh4207 Great place to stay if touring around the Smokies though! A lot of folks will pack it in just to stay somewhere nice close by all the tourist attractions and Smoky MNP while getting to be a little further away from the crowd and have a nice restaurant on site 😀 We would! And definitely will again! Sometimes we don’t like all the dripping from trees hanging over our sites. Getting on the slides, dripping on us after a rain…we don’t always want the trees. Depends on the trip.

[@Veetribe.]

We have a sport track..too..,love it

[@tandyderreberry]

Thank you for taking your time to show us your all adventures. I appreciate your all’s hard work on your videos. Love yaaaaaaaaa mean it. But Jesus Christ loves you more than I do.

Great video ...im going to show my wife this video and probably look in to heading that way . We live just north of Knoxville. My wife use to live in Williamsburg ky. . Still have family there . Looking foward to your nect video . Saft travels .

[@dwoodygura]

Maybe in 20 years there will be some SHADE. It's too hot in the summer.

[@angeladean3206]

My first thoughts as well - I've done a campground with no shade in the summer and it's unbearable

[@janicecrockett1400]

I would think that having concrete, rock and pavement that place would be very hot and uncomfortable in the summer months. And, the cost is too rich for my pocketbook for a place with sites so close together.

[@shanester8712]

Thos was probably geared towards bass fisherman. They have huge bass tournaments in Dandridge on Douglas Lake

[@bobswislosky3096]

I wish I knew you were in town. Would have been great to meet you all.

[@kristingrounds4163]

Ok I like trees at my campsite but that one looked great!!! I will definitely go there. I can't wait to see the upgraded sites with the outdoor kitchen. Do you know when those are supposed to be done? Also thanks for that tip on the marshmallow and baileys yummy. Gonna have to try that with some tequila rose. Also we just upgraded our travel trailer to a 2022 Jayco Jay Flight 34RSBS so it should be nice and clean LOL unlike our current one

[@braddenton7673]

Good share! 8K subscribers right around the corner

[@rrrrkoop2776]

we will check this out for a fall visit this year. btw the sites look level. flat and level is our number one like. we have stayed at the Margaretteville rv resort in Pigeon Forge which is great, but can you believe a brand new resort and almost no level sites. brand new concrete pads where your front tires are 8" off the pavement. I went checking all the open sites and found one I could move to but it was only a little better. unbelievable design.

[@wheelepicadventures]

Just discovered this resort but you got there before we could. Good job! Nice "resort" and the price will reflect that. More grassy spaces for our pets would be nice and of course, being in the direct sun, that will be a negative.

[@CG-vf9he]

Awesome video!

[@melanieyeager]

Looks like a Camp Sheraton style place! I only wish I had an RV to camp in!

[@4wamiadga4]

We just had a mower break a window on our RV. I think I would like pea gravel.

[@johnsanford4569]

$100+ per night. I don't think so.

[@kcwerv]

No Pickle Ball Courts?

[@steelpix]

It looks like an RV desert. Maybe in 25 years there will be shade. Looks like a big Walmart parking lot.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@steelpix Yeah we get it, a lot of comments are saying that also. In our opinion, it’s no different than any other brand new multi-million dollar Resort development. They gotta recoup it with packing em in. And infrastructure is incredibly difficult if you don’t remove some stuff. No different than how housing developers are putting them in! New subdivisions are awful about tearing out every tree and packing in specs on tiny little lots. It is what it is. But we don’t mind when it comes to camping in a popular tourist area. Many people will still love to come here and explore all the fun nature that’s around! Doesn’t necessarily have to be on the actual campground sometimes because they’re coming there to park the camper and explore, not necessarily need all the nature right at their own site. There’s campgrounds for that too! Takes all kinds…. We like them all.

[@dianeleighty2309]

Looks like a nice place for those who are OK spending $90 - $120 per night....very expensive!

[@edmorse3529]

That's cool

[@carolm8003]

Weren’t there lifeguards on the top and end of that waterslide?

[@lawdog516]

Looks like a keeper, do you know how pet friendly they are ??? Thanks

[@dutchgirl2]

For that price I would look for a hotel or airbnb. What happened in the last 3 years. Expensive then would be $55

[@AnnapolisAgent]

Deapppinted you did not show the dog park. You had a arrow pointing to it, but didn't show how large, if grass, artifical grass, etc.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@AnnapolisAgent Yeah we added the arrow after we filmed and realized we forgot to mention it. We don’t have dogs, so we don’t always remember to mention all the doggie amenities.

[@harold1316]

No trees 😢 too expensive for no shade

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

That’s understandable. We feel more that way about new subdivisions! Not too big of a deal when camping for us, but we couldn’t live on a tight lot with zero trees. So for us part-timers, we don’t mind it, especially when it has so many nice amenities and other things to do and places to go nearby!

[@toddramsay977]

IMO the only RV park worth over $100/ night is Ft. Wilderness at Disney World, and maybe the one RV park in Key West.

[@alanchu8663]

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Hey Lawrence, we have the Lectric 3.0’s. We like them pretty well, but they are kinda of heavy. If you don’t need a folding bike there are lots of options out there. Hope that helps. Safe Travels

[@mattcruz5915]

Did they happen to say when the premium sites would be available ?

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@mattcruz5915 Yeah we’re sorry, your best bet is to call them directly. I think their construction plans have fluctuated a bit, so not real sure.

[@DTRAX33]

that`s parking lot camping, should just go to walmart same thing.

[@SuperSushidog]

Wow, at over $100 a night for their cheapest site it will probably be empty for some time. That's more than I'm paying for an entire month in an RV park about an hour away from the Smokies.

[@gdt5430]

There are only six people there because everybody else found out about the ridiculous prices. They cleared the land so it looks like an RV parking lot with picnic tables while they wait for the shrubs to grow in few years. If a plain back-in is $107 a night I can only imagine what the new "Premium" spaces are going to cost. Can't anybody just build a simple campground anymore, you know, trees, grass, maybe a pool, cement pads, paved roads that's it. Do they all have to be mega resorts with mega price tags? I'll pass on this one.

[@toddramsay977]

Where are you from in KY?I live in Louisville, in J-town. Maybe we can hook up and camp together sometime. We are about 10 years your sr. I will be 58 coming up. So I feel ya’ on climbing that slide! LOL!

[@donnavineyard3375]

We live close to this RV resort, so we decided to check it out over the weekend. We will NOT be going back. The location is not convenient. You drive down a narrow two-lane (no-shoulder) road to reach the resort. If you arrive after dark, there are no streetlights. I looked on the website, and the rates were over $100 per night. It wasn't worth that for us.

[@larrylofton1959]

$107 a night!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@larrylofton1959 Yeah around that $100 range. I think we got an August special they were having. Not 100% sure what all their rates will be. Most campgrounds fluctuate throughout the year. You’ll have to check their site.

[@Littlesharky-h2s]

Where are the trees? You go camping in the mountains! If you want flat, clear land, go to the beach. That’s ridiculous. No hiking trails? What are you going to do in the fall? Take a drive and look at the trees?

Yes there are a lot of campgrounds charging well over a 100 a night and are full most of the year. As people find this location it also will fill up just because of proximity to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. People will pay 100 or more to be here. You are wrong to think 100 is to much. 10 years ago yes but not in the world we live in.
