Blountville, TN - 2010 - Rocky Top Campground #35
RATING: 1 – Yuck, 2 – Poor, 3 – Fair, 4 – Good, 5 - Excellent
OVERALL RATING: 3
Would you stay here again: Maybe
Dates: March 28 – 29, 2010 (2 nites at $31.15/nite)
Quality of Facilities; Layout and Visual Appeal: 3
This is a very small RV park that is in the hills and forest and away from the highway. The park has about 33 sites and is in a sloppy layout with sites here and there, some short, some long, at odd angles. Paved interior roads with gravel sites, paved patio pad with picnic table and lots of grass. Fire ring on site. There were a lot of trees on the property. Some sites had trees, some were out in the open. The environment felt comfortable and pleasant.
Location: 4
The park is located close to the areas we wanted to visit. It’s close to the town of Bristol where we spent some time visiting.
Noise/Quiet: 3
There is a main road running the length of the park that must be on a steep hill because you can hear the cars gunning it to make the ascent and trucks using their loud air breaks coming down the hill. There is a lot of truck traffic. There is also a train nearby. You can hear the train horns, but not the train. It is fairly quiet at night.
Staff: 4 Owner on site. Very friendly and personable.
Amenities: 4 Full hook-ups with Cable TV (about 80 channels!) and free WiFi. Easy logon with a good connection.
Recreation: 0 No pool or other areas for activities.
Laundry Room: 3
This room was really strange. It’s a closet with doors opening up on small, deep space with some almost new, modern washer/dryers. The area is very small, but very nice.
Comfort Station: 4
Small but nice and clean and attractive. The show was all in tile and very spacious with a nice dressing area. Shower had a glass door and a solid wood outer door. Stall had a bench and plenty of hooks.
Assigned RV Site: 3
We got to choose a site, but took the one assigned to us. It was a nice site that was long and very spacious on one side, but too close to the site on the other side. Fortunately it was empty for our whole stay. In fact the RV park was almost empty. There were a few overnighters and a few permanent trailers which were not near us. There was a garage with some vehicles behind a gate close to our site that was unattractive and one of the days the gates were open and a vehicle was being used, but did not impact us.

Nashville, TN - 2010 - Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park, #413
RATING: 1 – Yuck, 2 – Poor, 3 – Fair, 4 – Good, 5 - Excellent
OVERALL RATING: 4
Would you stay here again: Yes
Dates: March 25 – 27, 2010 (3 nights at 41.29/nite)
Quality of Facilities; Layout and Visual Appeal: 4
This is a large park with around 200 sites. It’s a nice layout with even rows. All the sites are pull-thrus. Interior roads are dirt and gravel as well as the sites. The areas on either side of the sites are grassy with some trees. Some sites are shady, others are out in the open. The sites are long and spacious that offer lots of privacy. You are not too close to your neighbor. There are two comfort stations in the middle of the layout, same row but about 10 sites apart. This park has a comfortable feel to it. Our stay here was very pleasant.
Location: 4
Located outside of the city, right next door to Gaylords Opry Land (big resort and the new Opry Land performance hall). Next to that is a big shopping mall. We were fairly close to all the sights we wanted to visit. However, we were near the highway. It’s a fairly large park with about 200 sites. They are all pull-thrus and are in even rows. Not all are level, and some are low to where it would flood when it rains. Gravel and dirt interior roads and sites. Site has picnic table, but no fire pit. The sites are long and very spacious. You are not too close to neighbors. There are lots of pine trees and grass on the sites. The park has a good first impression and feels comfortable.
Noise/Quiet: 3
There is some highway noise, but fairly quiet at night. We could also hear train horns, but it was in the distance.
Staff: 3Employed young people, but very friendly and accommodating.
Amenities: 3
Full hookups. No cable TV, but could get about 8 local channels with the TV antenna. Free WiFi with easy log on and strong signal.
Recreation: n/a
No organized activities, but there is probably a lot going on during the summer. There are two playgrounds and a large pool and a game room.
Laundry Room: 4
Small with 4 washers/ 4 dryers. Room was clean and neat (no junk). Machines were in good shape. We did not use on this trip.
Comfort Station: 3.5
There are two comfort stations in the park. Clean and in good shape. 4 shower stalls with private door and small dressing area with shower curtain for shower. Shower was tile instead of that cheap vinyl stuff. Showers were and good shape. Lots of hot water with good pressure.
Assigned RV Site: 3
We got to pick out our site. We were in between both the comfort stations, and far from the other guests. In fact the park was almost empty and we had no neighbors around us during our stay. Our site was long with lots of space on both sides. However, the site was on a hill and therefore not level. Did not realize this until after we moved into the site (I picked out the site, so did not look for that problem). But we jacked up the trailer and all was well.
