Paris Mountain State Park

Nothing is level at this Campground. Some sites are extremely sloped and a trailer or motorhome would have tough times in them. We has site 31, which is one of the best, if not the best from a level point of view. We were able to very easily level our short Class C there. There are a handful of others that are fairly level as well. The campground is beautiful and quiet, and has fantastic trails for hiking and mountain biking. There is quite a bit of elevation gain in the park, so be prepared to get in a workout, especially if mountain biking. The restroom/bathhouses were well maintained and clean, though the shower I used did not drain well. Overall, a very nice campground.

We love this camp and will come back again. However it is important to know which campsite will work for you. We have a 21 foot travel trailer and it is too big for some of the camper sites. Below is a list of all of the sites to help you select one that will be successful.

Site one is the host.
Site two is sloping left to right.
Site three is in the middle of the driveway.
Sites four and five are good.
Site seven is short.
Site nine is good but sloping, long enough to level out.
Site number 10 is steeply, sloping and very short.
Site number 18 is good.
Site numbers 19 and 20 are also good.
Site number 21 is questionable.
Site number 22 is short.
Site number 26 is short.
Site number 28 is not level
Site 29 is wavy and warped which is especially bad as this is the handicapped site.
Site number 30 is bad.Site number 31 is good.
Site number 32 is not level, sloping forward to the road but might be doable.
Site number 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 are good. Never, never, rent site number 39 it is terrible. Site number 40 is good.

This is a wonderful park with great trails in a nice campground. Just be very careful which site you reserve.

Other reviews are on point about the winding access road to get to the campground and that some sites are very unlevel (front - back, mostly). Flattest sites are in the 30s on the outside of the loop. Very quiet at night, the sound of a faraway train whistle, but no cars. No camp host when I was there, but rangers come through 1-2 times a day. See my blog post for more details and photos.

Arrival to the park is easy but the road into the campground is a mile of twisting paved road. I saw two 5th wheels roughly 40 feet long in here so it is possible to get in with a long rig. We stayed in #7 which was great. Easy back in. All sites here will need leveling from front to back. Bring lots of leveling blocks. Our site was level side to side. Our neighbors were not very close at all so we really liked this site. Some were closer than others so look closely at the map when making reservations. The bath houses were very clean and easily accessible. The dump station on the way out is somewhat tight but very doable.
Our only (slight) negative is getting to the activity area and lake. You’ll pass it on the way to the campground. You have to use the main road to get back to it and it is not a walking friendly road at all!
Overall we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay here again.

We came to the Greenville area to visit my sister and niece for a few days on our way from Florida to Pigeon Forge. We like to stay in state parks whenever possible. Our site was not perfectly level, but was not to bad to level out with a few blocks under the tires. We have a 40' toy hauler and there was plenty of room for the truck and trailer in the site. There are a lot of smaller sites in the campground, and plenty of tent only sites, and it did get busy Friday to Sunday, but overall it was a wonderful place to stay for a few days. The road from the entrance to the campground is tight and curvy, but by taking it slow, and letting any cars coming towards us pass before the tight areas, we had no trouble getting into the camping area or when we left on Monday to head out. We did not use the lake, but did take a few rides around on our golf cart. The rest rooms are older, but this is to be expected for an older park, but they were kept very clean during our visit. The camp hosts were very knowledgeable and friendly.

We loved our stay at this campground. It was one that once we got settled we wished we were staying longer! The road through the park back to the campground is pretty narrow at some points - we don't know how we would have managed if we had met another RV! We have a 31' Class A and we managed fine, but I did hear some people with larger trailers having a harder time. We were in Site 31 and were able to get level with no issues. The park has a lot of trails and scenery and is a great place for riding a bike. All in all, pretty campground that is super peaceful! The staff were all very helpful and the bathrooms were clean too. I would definitely return to this great spot!

The biggest thing this park has going for it is the location. Sites are set back from the road and there's a pretty lake at the park. Small number of sites and quality is really mixed, plus the entry is very narrow and windy. Not a spot for big rigs.

Staff and hosts weren't super helpful, and there seemed to be a lot of mix ups on site reservations vs. walk up availability while we were there.
