"Gatlinburg is out due to breed restrictions for my dog." I don't understand.
There are some great campgrounds in Gatlinburg as well as Pigeon Forge and Townsend
Gatlinburg has a breed restriction on rottweilers. The city itself forbids this particular breed in it's limits. Campgrounds that are based in Gatlinburg will follow with the restrictions and forbid rottweilers. One of my dogs is a rottweiler and the campgrounds in Gatlinburg will not allow us to stay there..........so we look elsewhere. I found this out when I called the Jellystone and asked. Some campgrounds completely exclude any dogs, others will only take dogs if they are under a certain weight limit, etc.
Surrounding cities do not have this restriction so it is not a problem there.
