Crossville
Subject: Re:
I camped in Crossville this past back in Sept at the
Park
search for Tn State Parks and you should find the
State run site that
tells all about it. It is a very nice and well run facility.
Hope this helps,

Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge /
Note: Trolleys are
mentioned in write-up for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, TN. Campgrounds. To the best of my knowledge, they are not the
same trolley lines nor is there a trolley line between the two towns.
Camping in the Smokies
Campground
We stayed in this CG with a MH about 22 years ago when it was
known as "Trout Creek Campground" We enjoyed it and it borders on the
Smokies Natl. Park. At that time there was a hiking trail from the CG into
the park. We enjoyed it then and there is a review of it on the review section
of this site.
Part of that review is posted below.: John of

Smokey Bear Campground
We have stayed at Smokey Bear Campground and liked it a lot. The
new owners had a egg breakfast for us on Sunday too.
They have a nice area with a bunch of pullthrus and
other back ins too. They have a pool and hot tub and
meeting room too. The owners are very attentive too. John S.
Adventure
Bound
Our rv club has stayed at several
campgrounds in this area. If you don't mind driving out of town a little try
"Adventure Bound". It is located out of Gatlinburg on hwy 321 south.
They have sites on a stream and lots of things for the kids. This campground
used to be called Crazy Horse.
Pigeon Forge, TN:
Creekside & Clayboughs & KOA
We stayed at the Creekside last year. The front desk people are very friendly
and have a clean park. There are two things that we found bad, they have gravel
drives that may be uneven, depending on where you camp, we were on the creek
side and also the sights are very close to one another, not much room in
between each other. Oops, no trees either. If you can handle those things I
think you will be very pleased. The trolley drives all the way through the park
and the next stop for the trolley is Claybough's campgrounds, a lot of shade and creek as well.
We told some of our friends about this CG and they said it was really nice, but
they still like staying at the KOA due to young grandchildren due to being
close to Dollywood.
Have a great time. (review

We go to Pigeon
Forge/Gatlinburg quite a bit...
Pigeon Forge...
The KOA(Pigeon
Forge) on
Pigeon Forge...
Normally we stay at Clabough's RV Park..It is off the Parkway on
Inside the store is a small restaurant that has great sandwiches. Very Friendly staff.
If you never been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon
Forge expect heavy traffic...We never been up there when it was not
busy....We have never stayed in Gatlinburg because of the traffic. Pigeon Forge
is just easy to get in and out of.... (review by owner

Little
We have camped in Townsend Tn. it is several
miles away from Gatlinburg but is much quieter
and the campground we stayed at was a great campground, on the river with very
clean facilities and just a short way from
Check out Little River Village Campground in Townsend, but over
the "hill" from Gatlinburg. Creekside for rafting, pool, playgrounds, but quiet. Bike trail goes
both sides of road all the way to Townsend. We are repeaters there in the Fall. Nice website. (
