You have many choices. We like River Plantation in Sevierville and Pine Mountain in Pigeon Forge. Both have sections that back up to creeks or small rivers. Both are very clean and close to all that is the tourist scene. Campgrounds in the park are very nice as well, but have no hookups and are hard to get into. If you want a little different experience for a few days, drive over to Townsend, TN on the quiet side of the Smokies. A good choice there is Tremont Resort. Very quiet compared to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and very near the Cades Cove area of the Park. Get yourself ready for some serious traffic along the Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg main corridor. I know you will enjoy your stay. We always do.
