Crossville Tn Camping

I camped in Crossville this past back in Sept at the
Cumberland State
Park
and it was very nice.  All the info is on the Web, just do a
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 / Great Smoky Mountains National Park …………….

 

Note: Trolley’s 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 & Claybough’s & 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 by owner of 31’ TT)……………………………………

 

We go to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg quite a bit...

Pigeon Forge...
The KOA(Pigeon Forge) on
Middle Creek Road(road behind main Parkway) is nice and close to everything. It is right beside Patriot Park where the Trolley Office is located...But it's a little pricey..Easy to get in and out of...

Pigeon Forge...
Normally we stay at Clabough's RV Park..It is off the Parkway on
Wears Valley Road about 2 miles, very clean. It has a Trolley stop inside the park. Kroger's is about a mile from the park and they also have a gas station/store on site...
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 of 35’ MH)

 

Little River Village

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 Smokey mountain National Park. The campground we were at was Little River Village, there web site is www.littlerivervillage.com . (unk)

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. ( B. T. )
