Last year, I stayed at The Lodge at Camp Margaritaville Pigeon Forge in Tennessee with my mom for two nights. Having stayed at and written about the resort in Gatlinburg as well as the Inn in Pigeon Forge previously, I thought we might enjoy this one as well. Plus, with it being newer, it had some great rates!
Camp Margaritaville Pigeon Forge
Camp Margaritaville Pigeon Forge is technically an RV Resort with a Lodge! I don’t own an RV, so I can’t speak to those aspects of the place. However, it did look like a nice and calm place while I was there. It also appeared that there was lots to do, particularly during warmer months! From outdoor games to a lazy river, there’s lots to keep you entertained here.
The location of this resort is ideal for going to either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. In fact, it would be perfect to head one direction one day and the other direction another day. It’s actually at the very end of Pigeon Forge, before you head into the woods towards Gatlinburg. It can be a little difficult to find in the dark the first time though as it’s off the main road.
The Lodge
As I said in my previous Margaritaville property reviews, my mom grew up at the beach and loves that vibe. So, we enjoy visiting these places when we can. Personally, I really like that each one features a soothing turquoise in their color palettes. I think that this new Camp Margaritaville theme makes it an even better fit for this area as it makes it more outdoorsy. I think it would be great to return for a summer stay here.
The Standard Room
We found our room to be more than adequate in terms of size. In fact, it felt huge with lots of extra room! The beds were comfortable enough and I loved the decor. I liked the shower, but was disappointed to discover that there wasn’t a shower shelf! I also would have like more towel hooks to hang our towels on. In that sense, it seemed like it had just opened and was missing a few touches.
Another thing that I was disappointed with was the loud music. I know they are trying to set a relaxing/party mood here. However, I don’t need to hear the hallway or outdoor music from my bed. When the air wasn’t on, I could hear the music being played while trying to sleep. It wasn’t obnoxiously loud, but it could be heard. Perhaps, it was the location of our room that allowed me to hear the music as we were at the end of the hallway near the elevator.
Overall
In conclusion, we had a nice stay at The Lodge at Camp Margaritaville Pigeon Forge. I loved the theme and decor. It’s also in a great location for exploring the area. So, have you stayed here before? What did you think?
