Smokey Mountains: Cades Cove vs Smokemont
Hi All, We are planning a trip to the Smokies for next year and would like to stay in the park. Which campground would be better for large travel trailers? Ours is 35 feet long. Both say trailer...

Up The Creek campground toward the north end of Wears Valley is the closest thing to a park campground with full hookups that I know of. There is no store, no bathrooms, no pool, away from most of the traffic, and most of the creekfront sites are large and shaded. Near to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville and a pretty 25-30 minute drive to Townsend, Cades Cove area of the Natl Park. Kids that have never had the fun of playing in a creek love it. It is a private cg not a Natl Park cg. Greenbrier cg up 321 north of Gatlinburg a few miles also is more like a park cg but has the store, creek,playground, bathrooms,etc. of a more developed commercial cg. I like Smokemont in October (cooler weather) but I'm spoiled to needing AC in the hot times.
