Just know that some of the areas of the BRP and inside GSMNP the roads are NOT RV friendly. If you are not used to traveling 2-lane roads that are curvy and mountainous, you do not need to pull your RV through them. Use some of the major highways, find the campground, drop the RV and take the pickup along some of the narrower roads.
Start here with planning
This should get you started and then you can determine where to get on/off the BRP and then you can start planning what/where/when in the GSMNP.
We usually stay in Pigeon Forge and drive into the park during the day. (We like to have amenities like power, water, AC, etc.) We stay at Pine Mountain RV Park if we are on that side. We also will stay at Smoky Bear RV Resort in Cosby, TN. There are many, many campgrounds, so use RV Park Reviews to determine which ones are recommended wherever you decide to enter GSMNP.
