Lack of RV Parks... Jimmy Buffet to the rescue!

My apologies for waking up an old post.

Has anyone stayed at the Jimmy Buffet park in Pigeon Forge? I am considering it as back-up to another park in the area. The rates are competitive-ish considering all of those parks are charging near $100 /night. It appears to be further off the road than most and the amenities seem plenty to keep my pre-teens occupied. Being new isn't bad so long as it isn't unfinished. Nothing worse than seeing all of the things that WILL be fun in the future while the kiddos track the mud in from where the grass should be. The lack of pictures on their website leaves me a bit concerned to its current state of completion.

Thanks.

I live in the area and have not driven through as yet. My curiosity is piqued and I may just go drive through it to see for myself. There are so many choices in campgrounds here it's hard to pick one that suits your needs. Obviously you want things for the kids to do and not have to go too far for them to do it when you at the site. Last I heard the arcade is open as is the adult lounge. When are you coming down? I'll see if I can check it out soon. I moved from Mich 9 years ago and love it here.

Hello Ken56,

Thanks for the update. We're looking towards the end of August. We're trying to hit a :sweet spot" (if one exists) between the end of summer wind down and the start of school. It is a last minute trip replacing a longer trip out west spoiled by business travel and a juror summons. If you happen to cruise through the park I'd be glad to hear what you see!

I sometimes dream of the day when we move from Michigan, but then summer comes and I forget all about it... until February comes again... Nonetheless, glad you love it there, it certainly is a beautiful place.
