We just got back from the Gatlinburg with 3 of our Grandchildren (5,6 and 8). We were going to stay at Pine Mtn but friends convinced us to stay at the KOA right at Old Mill Square. It's a very nice CG and the location is super. You can walk across Patriot Park and pick up the trolley. From there the trolley goes anywhere. Other CG's you have to take your car. We didn't find the traffic to be outrageous but avoiding the car is good.We stayed in Site J. I think it's the best site at the KOA.
We had a list of things we wanted to do with the grandchildren:
Dollywood (didn't do)
Great Smokey Mountains National Park
Cades Cove
Roaring Fork
The Titanic Exhibit
Adventure Park at 5 Oaks (Zip lines) (didn't do)
Smokey Mountain Alpine Coaster (single or tandem) (didn't do)
Dixie Stampede Dinner Show
Ripley’s Aquarium
Knife Museum
Old Mill Square
Noah Ogle Place
The kids loved the National Park. They all got their Junior Ranger Badge and want to visit other National Parks. We saw a bear in a tree in Cades Cove, which they liked. They loved the Aquarium. And they enjoyed everything else we did.
