Just wondering if anyone has been to Orchard Grove or Cove (not sure which it is) horse camp in Townsend TN and if I could get any comments on your experience there I would like to ride in the Smokies and this looks like a nice place. Thanks in advance for all your help.

My group is going there too in September. Some of us have been and loved it. I have been to the area many times and stayed at Gilbertsons. By the way $50 a night for electric camping and 2 stalls is cheaper than a lot of places I go. Orchard Cove looks to be one of the nicer places too. The Smokies are GREAT. I would recommend the area to anyone.

I have been going to the Smokies for the last 15 years and Orchard Cove is the best place in Townsend. If you want to look at the cost, first look at the facilities and then compare. Ms. Webb does not have shoddy pipe gate stalls. They have custom stalls on concrete with rubber mats. You can go in to town and not have to worry about the safety of your horse. They also have a 100x200 covered riding arena, up to date bath house and trail access from the camp. Also, trailers for rent if you want to haul to other trailheads, where else can you find this in this area? So call Ms. Webb and tell them Harvey sent you, you won't be disappointed!! Look for their ride review in the May edition of Trail Rider magazine. If anyone needs any additional info or pictures, pm me and I will be happy to help.
