Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground

My wife and I recently stayed at Uncle Jim’s River Cove Campground and had an excellent experience. This was our second visit, and it certainly won’t be our last. The overall impression was that the site is clean, accessible, and incredibly welcoming, with friendly and accommodating staff that made check-in smooth and easy. We stayed near the river, which provided a peaceful, relaxing backdrop, and the Riverside site offered a serene escape perfect for unwinding. The grounds were well-maintained and clean throughout, and accessibility was straightforward, making navigation around the campground simple.

The people were extremely nice and helpful, going above and beyond to assist guests. This stay reaffirmed our fondness for the campground and we’re already looking forward to future visits. In short, it’s a calm, friendly campground experience that we highly recommend.

Our stay at River Cove Campground was absolutely amazing! We went camping with eight families, and everyone had a fantastic time. The campground is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to relax and create unforgettable memories.

The supervisors and all the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. The facilities were excellent, including 24-hour electricity, clean water, spotless restrooms, hot showers, and everything needed for a comfortable camping experience. The river was beautiful and added even more fun and relaxation to our trip.

If you’re looking for a clean, family-friendly campground with outstanding service and great amenities, River Cove Campground is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it and can’t wait to come back again!

Stayed here 2 weeks ago and was so relaxing out in the country away from the city near by. The sites and landscape along the river was great for outdoor activites. Fishing, snorkling, swimming, or just laying in the rapids. Lots of amentities for children to burn off energy. Dog friendly. Shower and laundry facilities outstanding. Layout of lots and landscape very nice. Ramps available to launch small craft or tubes. Wi-Fi and cable available. Staff and Ryan were very acccommodating. Make your reservations sometime; you won't be disapointed.

What a beautiful hidden gem! Just a short 15 minute ride to Dollywood, it's the perfect spot to enjoy nature and the peaceful river after a long day of riding rides and walking the park. We camped on the river in our family's rv but will definitely be returning to enjoy a rental rv for Labor Day! The area is quiet and peaceful. The facilities are very well thought out. Excellent bath house - clean, well-stocked, and temp controlled. The common areas are full of fun things to do - cornhole, bounce house, playground, and more. The sites are well spaced so as not to feel crowded by neighbors. I can't think of anything that would have made this a better stay! The river access is so nice and easy to get to. Great area for tubing, kayaking, fishing, or swimming. We cannot wait to visit again! Thanks Tanner for taking such pride in the property!

Uncle Jim’s did not disappoint. The campsites were spacious and equipped with full hookups. The bathrooms were exceptionally nice, featuring granite countertops and kept spotless. The laundry center was excellent as well, with beautiful Maytag stack units and convenient payment options through phone wallet or credit card.

The setting was wonderful — cattle grazing in a nearby pasture and a beautifully flowing river perfect for fishing or swimming. I highly recommend it. Also, to add, it is centrally located to access all points to Smoky mountain national Park.
