Like RoyB, we almost always stay at Elkmont and occasionally Smokemnont. Townsend is the choice if you want full hookups without the crowds. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge may not be bad crowd wise prior to Memorial Day if your going in May. Have stayed at Twin Creeks in Gatlinburg once, very close to town and easy access to park.
