Simple -- to get the best recommendation you have to give a little more info. G'burg/PF/Townsend has CG's galore and to some degree or the other they try to appeal to a targeted audience. Do you have young kids that need a playground/pool? Do you like to have a little room around you or do you prefer to know your neighbor? Traffic bother you? Do you spend most of your time on the trails and scenic drives or do you spend most of your time in town shopping and walking around?
With kids and slightly off the beaten path - Clabough's has some decent sites and 2 different pools and is easy in and out. With kids and in the middle is River Plantation. Without kids, but still want a pool - Camping in the Smokies is a quiet, out-of-the-way CG. My DW and I found a wonderful little CG that has no pool or bathhouse but nice sites and in a great out-of-the-way area called Up The Creek. Some of the CG's in Townsend are older but are nice because they are so close to Cades Cove and great hiking and great fishing.
Describe what you want in a CG and the folks here will steer you in the right direction.
