Cades Cove Campground, Tennesse
Howdy,
Normally I hang out in the Southwest area since Las Vegas is my home, but my wife was born in Tennesse near Knoxville and when we first married we camped at Cades Cove Campground. It is located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and about 9 miles from Townsend, TN. There are over 2 million visitors every year that come to enjoy the scenery and it's many historic buildings. Cades Cove was the first valley settled by pioneers 200 years ago or more. There are 159 camping sites. Popular activities would be hiking, bicycling the 11-mile loop road and observing wildlife.
Campsites include a 13 x 13' tent pad, a firering with cooking grill and apicnic table with a lantern pole. Reasonable generator use is allowed in B loop; generator use is prohibited altogether in C looop from May 15th- October 31st. The dump station is open year around but provids limited service in winter months. Campsites are available on a first come, first served basis from Novemebr 1-May 14th.
More info is available at the park website: http://www.nps.gov/grsm. The park mailing address is Great Smoky Mountain National Park, 107 Park Headquarters Rd, Gatlinburg, TN 37738.
