Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Can anyone make a recommendation for a campground on the Tennessee side of Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park? I don't think that I can stay in the park because of the length restrictions. What town is the best area for access to the park? We'd like to stay for ~week and am mostly interested in the park and park activities so I'd like to be close to park entry points.
Any recommendations for activities / places to go in the park?
It all depends if you want to be on the busy side or the quieter side. If you want to be in the traffic stay in Galtinburg/Pigeon Forge. If you want to be in less traffic stay in Townsend. We stayed in Pigeon Forge a couple of weeks ago. We stayed at Pine Mountain RV Park. It has been open approx 2 yrs. A bit on the high side but we liked it alot. It took us 1 1/2 hrs to go 15 miles on a Saturday coming from I-40 to the campground. We have never camped in Townsend but in looking at RV Review website Mountaineer Campground looks very nice. I was told site 12 is the most popular. We tried to stay there but were full the week we went.
