Suggestions

We love the Smoky Mountains, but have done Pigion Forge and Gatlinburg to death. We’re planning a trip to Ashville for next year. We are in western Kentucky, knowing that Pigion Forge is about 5-5 1/2 hr drive where else do y’all suggest we go? We like full hook ups , no boondocking. Thanks in advance for y’all’s knowledge and experience.
  • Not knowing where in western Kentucky you are, but thats ok. You should try Branson MO, its full of things to do and plenty of FHU RV parks. The reason I said Branson is to me you did not really say which way you wanted to go.
  • I stay at Pride Resort in Waynesville, NC. Actually near Maggie Valley. Also, day trip to Ashville.
  • Maggie Valley. Beautiful. Plenty of park choices. Convenient to many attractions. It's a short drive to Asheville. I hope the Biltmore is on your list to see. If anyone golfs then bring your clubs. Great courses in the area. You have Waynesville nearby for restaurants and some quaint stores. You have Cherokee nearby for restaurants and attractions. Go see the Museum of the Cherokee Indian and for lunch do Native brewing restaurant.
  • Check out Mama Gertie’s, or Campfire Lodgings and Campground. The latter being a nice, a smallish , cg with a good view.
