Camp Margaritaville in Pigeon Forge Unveils All-new Features

There are two main types of vacationers.

First, there’s the outdoorsy vacationer. These folks enjoy being one with nature. They don’t mind roughing it a bit or occasionally going without indoor plumbing or internet.

They don’t need the luxuries of housekeeping or continental breakfast. These folks like to unplug and enjoy simpler times.

And then, there are the “indoorsy” vacationers. These folks enjoy fluffy white towels, having a private indoor toilet nearby at all times and generally have to drench themselves in bug spray and sunscreen dare they step foot outside.

But luckily, now there is a way to get the best of both worlds. A compromise, if you will, for those who enjoy the outdoors but also appreciate the conveniences of modern amenities.

Introducing Camp Margaritaville RV Resort in Pigeon Forge.

And this summer, Camp Margaritaville has shown that they are willing to take this unique experience up a notch with their all-new lazy river, activity lawn and Fin City, a family entertainment center.

What is Camp Margaritaville?

Camp Margaritaville is a resort in Pigeon Forge that utilizes the comfort, freedom and affordability of RV life while combining it with the upscale amenities and established name of Margaritaville Resorts. It offers traditional RV camping as well as a more traditional hotel experience at the same location.

Best of all, it’s just a short drive away from several attractions in Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg.

So, catch dinner and show at Dolly Parton’s Stampede Dinner attraction or better yet, visit the Dollywood theme park for the day and return to a home that has it all.

The possibilities are seemingly endless when you stay at Camp Margaritaville RV Resort, which is now open in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains.
