I live a few miles away from Anchor Down and can vouch that its a beautiful campground. You will want to stay there longer. It overlooks Douglas Lake and has a beautiful view of the Smokies. It would make a good base to tour the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg area some other trip.
I think the most important thing would be to be flexible and be willing to change your itinerary if needed. Otherwise just go have a great time.
That's great to hear. I was trying to decide between Anchor Down and Elkmont and decided for Anchor down because of the beach/swimming for the kids. I think they'll enjoy it more.
As far as flexibility, I'm more than ready for that. I am just trying to make sure I have a basic itinerary so that any campgrounds we need to book 6 months in advance I'm ready to do in the next few weeks. I've found that we can always find a place to stay during the week easily. But several weekends have been tough in the summer so I want to get those booked.
