Greenbrier Campground

We are new to glamour camping and this was our first trip. We have been testing it out at home but this was our first trip away from home. We live in central west Georgia. It was a long drive but when we saw this place we had to try it. It was everything we hoped and more! The place was well maintained like everything the smokey mountain park service is known for. The parking was simple we stayed in slot 213 “Super Premium” spot. Our 40’ Fifth Wheel glamper fit in just perfect. We went November 15-19th 2022. It was Arctic cold in the low 20’s at night. The campground sent out a message that between 10-7 the water would be shut off but bath houses were open. So if you plan a trip in the 20’s be prepared and fill your fresh water storage tank to switch to from 10pm - 7am like we did. Some mornings the air stayed in the 20’s longer and they kept the water off till 9am.

Campground Internet? - 132 down and 21 up does that sound good? It does for us!!! We have a king range extender router in our fifth wheel and it connected to their 5G signal and thats what i speed tested at. Was able to get perfect 4k streaming and no lag! I noticed they have wifi repeaters everywhere so coverage is spot on!!!

At&t internet? - 44 down and 1.2 up. Decent down but horrible upload. You definitely want to use their wifi.

We were so happy and so happy this was our first experience in our new fifth wheel!

I am attaching pictures of our internet speed.

We are here now and can’t say enough good things. The bathrooms are like the Ritz Carlton of campground bathrooms. Staff has been incredibly helpful and friendly. If you are considering making a reservation, unless you have a huge 40’-er, avoid the super premium lots in the 200’s. They are beautiful but close to the highway and away from the main campground. Sites 29-33 are amazing if you’re looking for something on the river with rapids for a view.

This was a large campground very convenient to Gatlinburg and Great Smokey Mountain National Park. It seemed to be very good for families as there were many children who seemed to be enjoying themselves. The water, electric, and sewer worked well. The standard sites were extremely tight with each person’s sewer hookup in the next person’s living area. The larger sites looked much better and would probably have given a different perspective. A good campground for families. A good campground if you spring for a larger site.

This campground feels like the perfect cross between a state park and private RV Park. With beautiful wooded sites, lots of ammentities, and sitting on the front porch of the National Park, this campground makes a great basecamp for the Gatlinburg area. This is a family-oriented campground and will have a lot of kids (and therefore noise) during the usual school breaks.

The camp store is well supplied and reasonably priced.

I worked while staying here and the wifi was hit or miss, but noticeably worse after a windstorm came through. Cell phone service is poor, even with a booster. Photo added with campground WiFi and VZ speeds. (See update below)

Update 4/11/2022
Picked a site closer to the office and got excellent t WiFi speeds with 91.9 Mbps download and 19.9 Mbps upload. Video calls on Teams were flawless.

My first visit during fall of 2021 was quiet. It was a bit noisy with kids during spring break.

This was a nice campground with recreational areas and good individual bathroom/shower suites. The river rolling through camp was a highlight, as the dogs waded around to beat the heat. The other big draw is the convenient base area to explore.

There's even a trolley to Gatlinburg, however! We were going to take the trolley into town and saw other people waiting. They told us they'd missed it the night before, so they arrived 15 minutes early this time. Long story short, the trolley was 30 minutes late. The trolley to return was full, and they only come around every 30-45 minutes. Not a complaint about the campground, but beware.

Lots of tent campers, a youth group, while we were there.

We would return here.
