Time of year for Gatlinburg?
We are planning on heading to Gatlinburg next year. Our time frame would be from mid-June until late August, as we still have 1 in high school. Is there a better time of year to visit the area, or ...

We are a couple hours from there, so we go quite often. It is normally crowded, no matter what time of year, but the summer months are pretty busy, as is the fall during "leafing season".
There are many, many camping choices to choose from and they cover about a 60 mile radius of Gatlinburg/PF. If you want rustic, Elkmont is the place to stay, but it is dry camping and usually can be very humid and hot. In town, there are so many campgrounds to choose from, most with FHU. If the campground is in town, the trolley stops there, so that shouldn't be a contributing factor of staying there.
Our favorite is Pine Mountain RV Park for it's convenient location, FHUs, 3 pools and hot tub (one of which is indoor) and great for the fall and winter months.
