We use Twin Creeks RV parkand go through Pigeon Forge we don't have to pull thru Gatlinburg which is a pain since the Twin Creeks campground is before you get to town. Good location close to shopping, restaurants and on the trolley line to the shopping loop and town and the Park entrance. Pigeon Forge is a traffic jam but if you go a couple blocks and use the secondary route it helps a lot. the turn into Twin creeks is a little tight but it is a nice well run campground, a little expensive, you might even see a black bear.
