Name Has Changed, Still An Amazing Place

Now known as Buddy Bear, same location on Dolly Parton Pkwy, gated entry, not on main Sevierville drag. Creek access and/or view from every site. Kayak and canoes available. Firewood for large burn pits. Grew up in the country and loved the rustic feel. Pool is open, laundry on site. Paved camper Landings with paved patio area. Mounted grills. Easily a 30 foot yard for most sites with picnic tables. Quiet and cozy.

Disappointing

Duval In The Smokies, Seiverville, TN. We are a 5th wheel, 40 ft, traveling with friends in a 28ft TT. We were in site # 15, Buffalo Bill site, $63 per night, they were in site # 14, Bonnie & Clyde site, $60 per night, we stayed 5 nights. The website describes this place well with a few important omissions or mis-leads. The concept is good, it's cute, quaint, and the western motif is charming. BUT. #1. We booked in December 2020 and a BIG reason we chose Duval was because it had a pool, one of the amenities listed on the site. When we arrived, much to our chagrin as temperatures were between 95-100 all week, there was no pool. An unfinished roughed in cemented hole in the ground. It was advertised as having a pool back in December. It didn't say 'pool coming by.." or some other indicator that it was not available. It said pool. We get that material costs have risen and contractors are struggling. But they were and are STILL advertising having a pool.

Excellent Stay!

We just got back from a 5 day stay at Duvalls. This place is amazing! We stayed on site 5 that backs up to the river. We kayaked nightly. There's an eagle's nest about 100 yards down the river. The bathouse could not be any cleaner. No matter the time of day, it was sparkling clean. We loved it so much we booked for next year! Highly recommend!

This is an awesome RV park to stay at. Very, very clean and the owners go out of there way to make your stay pleasant. Grocery store right across the street for those items you may have forgot to bring. The park is very quiet at night and have wonderful quest. Planning on many stays here in the future.

We Love Duvall In The Smokies

We camp a lot and have stayed at many campgrounds this is be far the best yet. Very friendly and clean. Not right on top of pigeon Forge but it’s only minutes away. Hope we are fortunate enough to stay here every trip.

Absolutely The Best!!

The owners, Leon and Alais Duvall, are the nicest people you will meet on your travels. They treated us like family and helped us tremendously while we were looking to buy a cabin in the area. The campground is exceptionally clean, close to everything but still nice and quiet. You can stay right on the river and go kayaking if you like. The sites are large, paved, and easy to get in and out of. Each has a grassy area, beautiful handmade picnic table and fire ring. It’s pet-friendly, which we appreciated.There are lovely cabins that are the cleanest we’ve seen. We will return soon and often, we love it here!

We’ve been to a lot of campgrounds and this one is definitely ranked at the top. Only two drawbacks, the bath house only houses a single shower and toilet. So only one person at a time. And no pool if you have lil ones, but they do have a splash area. Awesome place. Super clean

Another great weekend! If you love camping and love watching Bald Eagles, this is where you want be. Almost all day Sunday we had the most majestic Eagle watching over us we’ve ever seen. The owner are like family and the campground just keeps getting better and better. Once you stay, you will never forget it.

Finest Campground in the Rockies

Duvall in the Smokies is the cleanest sweetest campground we’ve ever stayed and the owners, Alais and Leon are such wonderful people. They offered us excellent advice regarding places to eat and places to visit.The campground is well designed with easy access to everything. If you make your reservations well in advance you might be lucky enough to land a spot along the river.Keep in mind this campground is located about 4 miles outside of the main Pigeon Forge traffic and excitement. If you’re looking to be caught up in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge, then this is not the place for you to be, but if you want quiet, quaint and very comfortable, then we recommend this campground.You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing Hidden Gem!

Right off the road but you’d never know it! So personalized and well kept that it feels like you’re in a friend’s back yard. Amazing site with a beautiful little river right behind our rig with fire pit, excellent tables and each site has a personality of its own. Found my new hiding spot!

Great Family Friendly Campground

Owners are extremely nice and helpful. They offered us exceptional advice on tourist activities to do around the area. Campground offers laundry, WiFi, wood, and many other items. Camp sites have picnic tables, grill, fire ring, and full hookups. There are games, swings, and a bucket train for children. Pet friendly. I highly recommend Duvall In The Smokys. We will be returning customers.
