Going in October, no kids, and needing advice on: Gatlinburg or pigeon forge ( Better for eats, shops, tourist stuff) No toad , so needing rental car or uber. Nice park? Big rig, 9-9-9 rating ...
You may find somewhere to camp in late October but that month is their busiest. Things tend to wind down at the end of the month. If you can't get into something in PF/Gat the try Anchor Down which is nearby and on a lake.
