Gatlinburg Or Pigeon Forge

Looking for a nice RV Campground in this area, at a reasonably price.

Does anyone have any suggestions.

Been there before a few times, but never in the motorhome.

Thanks

  • We like Creekside in Pigeon Forge. There is a red light to get into the busy traffic area, easy in and easy out. We travel with a TT. I saw some Class A motor homes, but it is a little hard for them to negotiate in the park.

If u want quiet, beauty, forest & wildlife than u want to go to the North west side of the park near Townsend. Several very nice Full hookup parks here. Do the loop drive (Bears) at Cades Cove. The Nat'l Pk CG at Cades Cove is very nice but no electric.


    I agree and if you want to try the NC side try Maggie Valley.
  • Pine Mountain RV Park is a very nice quiet Good Sam campground. If you want a quiet stay ask to be located away from the pool/bath house in the rear of the campground. Showers are very nice, laundry is nice and it is on the trolley line. Easy to get to the visitor center at GSMNP by taking the Gattlinburgh bypass. Have fun.

  • Pine Mountain in PF comes highly recommended. I usually prefer to stay nearer to GB due to (slightly) less traffic. Camping in the Smokies is a nice, no frills park that was reasonably priced imo. Also on the trolley route. Lots of choices, as well as opinions.
