Little Arrow Outdoor Resort

Little Arrow is a great family resort. My family decided to give our try at tent camping. Being that it was a first for us, we decided on Little Arrow due to the many activities for the children; playground, basketball, pickle ball, gaga ball, pool and hot tub. We had a blast! As an added bonus, their bath houses are the nicest and cleanest I have ever seen at a campground. And the location is excellent. It was less than 10 minute drive from Tremont where we hiked to Spruce Flat Falls. We will definitely come back again, however, next time we will stay in a cabin. While we had a great time and did well in our tent, they only have 3 tent sites which, unfortunately, back up to a street within the resort. So, at night, you are hearing trucks and golf carts instead of nature. My only recommendation would be to move the tent sites to either by the river or in the back of the resort. None-the-less it was still an excellent time with lots of great memories! I recommend to anyone!

My wife and I stayed in PC9. It was gorgeous and super clean and comfortable.Little Arrow will always have a special place in our heart. When we arrived on 12/15, we were engaged. When we left on 12/19, we left as man wife.My wife and I, and our friends and family that attended the wedding are all from Texas. My wife and I wanted to find a cute place everyone could stay together, but still allow everyone there own personal space at the end of the day. Little Arrow was absolutely perfect for that. Not only was it super clean, but staff was very friendly and offered great customer service. Everyone from our wedding is already talking about another trip to the Smokies and staying with y’all again.Thank you for helping make our wedding even more special!

I have been coming here for 10 years, since before it was even Little Arrow. We are a group of around 30 people and always stay over thanksgiving, primarily because they offer a community thanksgiving meal. It’s a lovely location but it seems like the prices are starting to outpace the amenities. The thanksgiving meal this year was very disappointing, the campground handles the Turkey/ham and the guests all bring a side dish. The Turkey this year was shredded and tasted overwhelmingly of vinegar, nobody I spoke to enjoyed that. My husband had ham and it was tiny and rubbery. In years past the meal was wonderful. My parents stayed in a tiny house and had issues with mold and the fee for bringing dogs along is ridiculous, we started coming here in part because it is fun to bring the pups along.As for suggestions, reasonable pet fee, traditional Turkey, improved WiFi and extended hot tub hours would be nice. The free coffee during certain hours is appreciated and I don’t mind paying but $3 for a tiny cup is a little much. This campground has been a family tradition for so many years and we’ve made many happy memories, however, with their rising costs and over the top pet fees, we are considering alternative options

One of the most beautiful places I have ever camped. Facilities were superb. The staff was kind. I ran into a bit of a situation checking and they were very kind and helpful. They didn’t make me fell uncomfortable or any more embarrassed than I already was. Although it was a phenomenal stay, my suggestions for improvement would be better directional signs and more reasonable check-out times. Unfortunately, I had to drop them to a four as they promised me a military discount on the phone and changed the rules at check out.

We have visited this park twice. Previously we had been up here in the dead of winter for the Christmas parade in Gatlinburg, so my exploration of the park was minimal. Most recently we visited in the Spring, and the weather was more cooperative for experiencing the resort. It is well maintained, the staff is friendly, and it has many amenities.

The positives: The property is in a great location, and very close to the National Park! We stayed in a tiny home and it was plenty of room for our family of 5. There is a nice trail that leaves right from the campground that we enjoyed and there are fun things for the kids to do: basketball court, pickleball, a playground. There was also a really helpful staff member working/cleaning in the coffee bar area. She was friendly and went out of her way to help me.What we didn't like so much was the cleanliness of the house. There was a lot of dust, lots of dead bugs in all of the lights, mold in the shower, and there were spots of blood on the blanket on one of the beds. Also, compared to the many other vacation rentals we've stayed in over the years, the kitchen was not well equipped. When a water main broke, which I understand is no fault of the resort, the person I communicated with was neither polite nor helpful. We know those things happen, but would have appreciated a more professional interaction.

By far the best RV resort in the Smokies!! Clean sites, spotless bathhouse and beautiful grounds! Walking trail to grocery/coffee shops! It's our 2nd NYE holiday here and we will book again before we leave! The clubhouse/pavilion hosts an early NYE family friendly event where you bring an appetizer to share. Leeann puts on Trivia Pursuit, Bingo and Family Feud for everyone's enjoyment with prizes; ringing in the new year early at 10 am. A must stay place for sure!!

I stayed at Little Arrow last week and it was perfect. The location is great! You can be in Pigeon Forge in 30 minutes, yet there are fantastic places to eat (including a creamery) within 5 minutes of the park.It is a very relaxed atmosphere. The pool is great, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. They keep the place in great shape.

We absolutely love Little Arrow. We love the playground, the pool, the cafe with the kids' play area. We love the onsite food options for those nights when we just need a break and we love the occasional family movie night, or kid craft. We love the layout, the landscaping, the fellow campers and the river access. Townsend is amazing and has the best local events and fun restaurants and other places to explore. Little Arrow is THE campground we want our kids to remember visiting when they think back to camping as a family...it's just that special. It is that special because of the love and attention to detail that are poured into the place daily, through the staff and owner. Y'all are the best!!!

We just got home from our trip to Little Arrow Campground. We absolutely loved our stay!! We love Townsend and this campground was just beautiful. Loved the nice pad and pavilion and fire pit at our sight! Really wanted to brag on the camp hosts….I somehow managed to lock my self out of the camper. It was after hours so i call the number they provided at check in and they arrived very promptly and got us in it in no time!! They were the absolute sweetest! I owe them to saving our stay!!! Highly recommend!!!

Overall we really enjoyed our trip to the Smoky Mountains and to Little Arrow. While the experience was mostly very good there were some minor 'cons' to the experience at the RV resort.The 'Good':- Excellent service and super friendly staff- Fantastic amenities at the campground (pool, hot tub, playground, fire pit, etc)- Showers and bathrooms were always very clean- Proximity to the National Park is amazing- Dog sitting was super helpful on days when we were away from the campground for an extended period of time- REO Cheesewagon (on-site food truck) was amazing!The 'Could Be Better':- The sites are VERY close to each other. Thankfully we had zero issues with any of the neighbors during our stay. In fact, patrons in our loop were super friendly.- We stayed in site B20. Great spot in terms of proximity to the river, bath house, etc. However, the campground has a make-shift parking area directly in front of the site, which makes backing into that spot very tricky. We have a smaller pop up trailer so we made it work but if we had a larger 5th wheel trailer it would have been darn near impossible.Again, minor complaints (if you want to call it that) but I'd definitely recommend Little Arrow to anyone wanting to set up a base camp to explore the Smokies or just get away for a while. Just do a little reserach into the site placement before booking. I'd recommend Loop B over Loop A (personal opinion) and would 100% suggest a spot on the river.

We brought our fifth wheel in for a stay. It's a beautiful campground, though where we were situated was on the lower, transient sites. Talk about tight! Crowded. But you know something? Everyone was helpful, kind and very sweet.The laundry room was clean and cozy.I wish I had brought my water shoes. I didn't have proper footwear for the river. How perfect! To watch folks go by in tubes, lazily enjoying the cool water. But be careful! Rocks are slippery. Witnessed a few folks get banged up. Just from falling.WiFi is decent. One device gets coupons. Pay as you go for other devices.The pool is good, clean. Get in early. On hot days .........oooweee, it's crowded and lots of kids!A great campground with beautiful cabins, glamping sites and tiny homes.A perfect getaway, for sure!

We booked their clubhouse for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding 7 months before our wedding date, which was fully paid. Catering for the event had been organized and invitations with all the details had been sent to all our guests. We also booked a tiny house and airstream for ourselves (again fully paid months prior) and several of our wedding guests booked cabins. Inside of 30 days of our wedding, they called and told us the clubhouse would not be available due to renovations and we could now host our wedding at the pool. As my now husband stepped in and patiently tried to work things out with Faith, she was extremely un-empathetic and not at all concerned that she was affecting a bride inside of 30 days prior to the wedding day and all the planning, details, and expense that goes into that special day. We asked if she would close the pool down for 1-2 hours while our guests ate dinner, so they did not have the experience of a neighborhood pool scene at our rehearsal dinner. Faith would only do it if we agreed to pay an additional cost! They were inconveniencing us so close to our wedding and asking us to pay more money?? At this point, it was not about the money but the principal. When my husband asked to speak to her manager, Faith said the only one above her was the owner, which we later found to be untrue. We decided to cut our losses and move the rehearsal dinner to our wedding venue for an additional cost to us. When we asked Faith to credit us for the clubhouse, she in turn canceled our room reservations!! We live out of state so this was a huge stressor. They were reinstated the following day by another employee. Upon our arrival, the "clubhouse" was now a restaurant NOT under renovations like we were told. While the concept of Little Arrow is unique, we were disappointed at their lack of consideration for conflict resolution, which was very impactful and stressful to a bride living out of state all inside of 30 days of her dream wedding.

This place is nice. As with many of the places we have stayed in our RV, the pool area is too small to accommodate the amount of people staying with them. Not much seating around pool. The playground is really cute and the kids did love it! They also loved the sno cone truck! As for our site it was clean and nice! Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful location for extended family to meet up from different parts of the country and create awesome memories. Cabins and tiny homes were so clean, accomadating, and stylish. Beds were so comfortable. Many activities for the kids to do, friendly and caring environment that fostered making friends and safe place for "kids to be kids". Pool is beautiful! Will be looking forward to another visit

Little Arrow Outdoor Resort is a beautiful campground located just a few minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, surrounded by wilderness. This place is absolutely breathtaking! From tiny homes, camping, to glamping. Very clean and well maintained. Family atmosphere and lots of activities around the resort. If you like nature you will love this resort. A fun place to stay/visit.

Spent a great weekend fly fishing with a group of anglers and @RandRFlyFishing. The Glamping tents were cozy and perfect for our group. We loved being near the Little River. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful campground and we hope to return. We loved our site, but you will need an Anderson leveler or other solution. The pool is gorgeous but it was so loud and crowded, that it was completely undesirable and there were no available chairs and no place to set our stuff. There were plenty of other things to do. It's a lovely place, no surprise that it is popular. We really enjoyed the nearby bike trails and biking through Cades Cove. This was one of our favorite camping trips in spite of the fact that it rained 50% of the time and we got completely drenched trying to hitch up on departure day. The other 50% of the time made up for it!We did not use their wifi, but our King extender gave us 3-4 bars on Verizon and we were able to work and stream movies, etc with no hiccups.

Stayed in a Premiere Cabin and it was great.This is our second time staying there. Cabin was super clean and the entire facility was.would definitely stay there again.Staff was great.They have finally fixed their WIFI problems also. But charge $3/day now for it. (1 free with reservation)Rooms: We stayed in Premier cabin. The pics on the website cover it well.Nearby activities: Townsend is a "sleepy town".There is not much to do like Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. But the quietness is what makes it great. The main lure is the mountains and GSMNP right next door.Walkability: You can walk down to the creek and play or it borders the park. Much of the town has a bike path but that ends before the resort, but it's only 1/4 mile down the road to the bike path.Walk from creek to cabins is about a 200ft elevation change. It might be hard on some people.They do rent golf carts nowFood & drinks: They have a food truck that comes on site and a shaved ice truck. They do have a coffee bar, but the cups we had were not that great and threw them out.They have a small restaurant this year also (did not use)Beer is $25 a 12 pack of Miller Lite in the Camp store. (go buy at IGA Grocery down road). Ice is $3.50 a 7 pound bag and Firewood is $7 for 5 stick bundle. (that cost everywhere in town)

We stayed here with our whole family and grandkids and this MeadowView vacation house is just unbelievable! It is beautifully decorated but beyond that, they have high quality furniture and appliances .. the gas stove was very high end for a rental, and all the possible dishware, glasses, utensils, pots pans, etc that you would need for a vacation! Just pack your bags! The beds are incredibly comfortable and all the rooms have sizable closets and storage. The hot tub was much larger than we expected and could fit 6 if us comfortably. The sizable flat yard, cozy firepit area and location to Townsend activities was so much fun and perfect for our family games! It's just a short walk to the river and the guys were fishing with their sons every morning. On top of all this, we had access to the boujie and beautifully landscaped pool at the resort! Even the bathrooms there were boujie, using cloth hand towels for each guest! We absolutely love this place and we do plan on coming back again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

WOW! This resort is hands down one of the best places to stay in the Smokies! The price is super affordable for what you get when staying - there’s an onsite restaurant and spa, dog park (everywhere here is dog friendly!), heated pool and adults only hot tub, river access, hiking trails, and more! The detail in the accommodations and RV sites are top notch and thought through. The staff is all local and very kind, willing to go the extra mile for whatever you need. You’ve got to stay here!

One of our favorite campgrounds close to home. We always bring our fifth wheel, but there are other options such as tiny homes, glamping tents, and a few larger homes for bigger groups. They have recently redone their pool area, and now have a splash area for the kids. If you are Rv’ing a riverfront site is super nice!!!!Nearby activities: This campground is near the entrance to the GSMNP in Townsend. Lots of hiking, biking, nice drives, and a few restaurants close by.

Had a good stay. Little Arrow is a big place but it's spaced out well. We did not have any problems with neighbor-noise at night. Right on the border of Great Smokey Mountain National Park and its beautiful! Easy to get to tons of hiking, fishing, and camping spots (the park is massive, so check which part you want to be near)Grounds were well maintained, everything was clean. People were really nice.We had some phone service most of the time, and driving into town for food/beers/service was just a few minutes down the road.
