Smokey mountains and Blue Ridge Pkwy

Travelling to the Smokey mountains and then travelling to the Blue Ridge Pkwy in June.
Does one need to make reservations at campgrounds or are they pretty much open to first come, first served.

  • The area you refer to is rather large, it depends on where you want to be. Early in the month you might be ok to wing it. Later in the month, I would suggest reservations.
  • figure out what section of the parkway you are going to travel, assuming you aren't going to torture yourself by driving the entire length. you can always jump off to stop in adjacent towns also.
