Great smokey np
From what I read Gatlingburg and Pigeon Forge are more of town visit than the mountains We are not there for shopping but for site seeing, should we escape these places so to have more time site see...

Like Ken56 says the park doesn't have a lot to see but there are some nice hikes and the visitor centers are very nice. Pigeon Forge is the nicer of the two towns and has some nice things to see and do. Townsend is nice to go thru, the Indian museum is very interesting. Don't forget Pine Mountain RV Park, nice quiet place to stay and easy to get to the NP via the Gatlinburg bypass. Have fun.
