Smokey Mountains: Cades Cove vs Smokemont

I commend you for wanting to enjoy being in the Park rather than some crowded, less natural town campground. You probably know that none of the Park campgrounds have any hook-ups(so no AC). No, 2000 ft. isn't really high enough to be cool in hot Aug. weather although a little cooler than in town. With a trailer that big I wouldn't want to commit to either of those campgrounds without looking at sites first. There would be sites that would work but many might not. It's not just the site but all the trees, curves, etc. We like both campgrounds; Cades Cove a little better. Got hung up once at Cades Cove with a 25 ft. 5th wheel. Got in the site but a heck of a time getting out. Now we have a 30 ft. MH. I would go but look carefully before parking.
