If you are going to enjoy the mountains, and not for shopping, Townsend is the place for you. We have been going there almost every year since 1972. For a suggestion, drive the loop at Cades Cove, then start around for a second trip. This time turn right on Rich Mountain Road. This is a beautiful drive back to Townsend. We have seen bear on this drive many times.
I second this. Tremont is a nice campground but since I have inlaws in their nineties and may have to cancel due to their health. I won't reserve a site there as they bill you for the entire stay and have a no refund policy.
The KOA in Townsend is on of the best KOA's I've ever visited. They will take your reservation with only 1 night deposit which works much better for me.
If you are into hiking you can PM me and I will give you some great trail suggestions in the Townsend area.
