There is a couple of nice camp grounds just outside the entrance to the Natl Park in TOWNSEND..
If you want closer to the bigger town stay at the RIVEREDGE RESORT two lights away from DOLLYWOOD entrance in PIGEON FORGE. Has TROLLY CAR stop at the camp ground...
Not sure how big your motorhome is but keep in mind the roads inside the NATL PARK are narror and have alot of cut back curves... Just be careful abound the rock overhang areas. Everyone likes going to the CADEs COVE area at dusk to watch all the animals come out... Might even see a black bear... Driving around Gatlinburg streets will be fun also in a motorhome. Most folks park and walk the main street to visit all the shops. Pigeon Forge is best to drive to all of the shops and park close by to go inside.
