We always stay on the Townsend side of the Natl Park. My first choice is ELKMONT CAMP inside the Natl Park but sometimes have to go with the wife likes - Then I go to the hookup sites in Townsend. If that doesn't work for the wife then we finally go to Riveredge RV Park and Log Cabin Rentals that is located just as you enter Pigeon Forge coming from the Gatlinburg side. Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is just way to crowded for me to enjoy any of it...
I like to go do the Galtlinburg/Pigeon Forge shopping thing and great places to eat out but don't like the idea of staying in the middle of all of that. My real camping love is staying in the woods somewhere next to a creek bed haha...
