Ride Royal Blue

spriddle · 05-14-2007, 08:10 AM

The wife and I checked this place out this weekend. Very very NICE!!! This place is new: September 2006 is when it opened and it is still under construction. Plenty of cabins, camp sites, and parking now. They are adding all kinds of things, even a kids area and place for them to ride 4 wheelers (50cc). The cabins are simple but very nice as well as the bath house. The cabins back up to the trails for easy access. Be sure to check out the website. We definitely plan on going to this place again very soon. We had a great time and everyone there was really friendly and nice!!

What were the trails like? Are they cart friendly, or more for ATV's? Any pics?

Trails were great!! They were very cart friendly. The worst one was at the beginning going up but after that, it's mostly smooth sailing for carts. They do have plenty that are 4x4 only but most were fine in my opinion for a lifted cart. We road for about 7 hrs and only road over the same trail once for about 30 min's. We had a map but it was very hard to read so I made my own as we road which turned out great. We even used it to show some others how to get back to the campground. They were really wanting a copy of it. I gave them our website and told them I would try to post it this week sometime. I actually handed out our website here to everyone I ran across. I talked to everyone I saw there and everyone was really friendly and amazed that a golf cart was trail riding. :)

Royal Blue:
nice cabins (starting at $65 a night), bath houses, and camping
trails right outside your doorstep ($12.50 a cart/vehicle to ride all day: TN resident)
helmets required for 18 and under only
nice lodge with breakfast and supper
small general store if you need anything
gas and deisel pumps on site (if I remember correctly at the general store)
still under construction
nice trails that are'nt worn out and impassable
very cart friendly trails
not crowded at all (this place is new though and not many people know about it)
4 wheeler rental in local area, they will deliver and pickup ($125 a day)

Compared to Coal Creek, I really liked this place better due to all the above. Trails were much nicer/cleaner/cart friendly in my opinion but consider this place has not been tore all to pieces with multitudes of visitors. Which in turn makes me wonder how it will be later. I'm thinking they are going to have to come up with some type of trail maintenance in the future like Coal Creek. I still like Coal Creek and plan on visiting there again also. I just have two places to visit now.
