1) Bring a small charcoal grill, and cook on it. Tastes better.
2) Marshmallow, chocolate bars, graham crackers. Kids love s'mores.
3) Hikes from the campground. Smokies should have trails from every campground, I imagine. They don't need to be long hikes, but let the kids play on fallen logs, or whatever.
4) Take tasty snacks for the trial. Cheese and crackers, summer sausage, trail mix, dried fruit. Something different than what they eat for lunch at home.
5) Lay out at night and watch for shooting stars and satellites.
6) Lots of bug repellant.
7) Find out where the wildlife is visible, and go look (okay, go and hope to see the wildlife). Bears, deer, moose. Wait, you don't have moose back east, do you? How about coyotes? If you have them, sit around the campfire and listen for them.
8) Speaking of campfires, bring chairs to sit around the campfire. Tell ghost stories.
Have a great trip! It's not all about the trailer, although the trailer can make or break it.
