Cherokee,NC

I don't believe you can go through the park,Gatlinburg to Cherokee, with your 5er because of the tunnels. I've been over that road many times and would not attempt it with my rig even if it was legal. I have only seen 1 small TT on that road. Gatlinburg north to I-40 then east to Jonathan Creek Road Exit then south to Maggie Valley then south to Cherokee is how I go now. About 2-3 hrs. We like Smokemont CG in the park near Cherokee (no hookups) if your set-up for that. Several commercial cgs near Cherokee but I am not familiar with them. Bryson City 5-10 miles from Cherokee and Waynesville approx. 25-30 miles are interesting and Nantahala Gorge and river are great for kayaking or rafting. Ashville with Biltmore House is about 1 1/2 hrs from Cherokee, touring Biltmore House can take most of 1 day. "Unto to these hills" drama in Cherokee,outdoors at night in the woods is the story of the trail of tears and was very well done when we have seen it. UP THE CREEK cg in Pigeon Forge is our favorite on the TN side. Nice sites, good hook-ups,"NO"other amenities except the creeks, more like camping used to be.
