Smoky Mountain National Park

Lose the crowds and find great day hikes and a simple lovely campground with an Appalachian feel. The campground was very lush and green in summer with lots of trees perfect for hammocking. It is kind of open and there’s not too much privacy though. They have a few ranger talks a week but otherwise there’s not a lot to do...until you hit the trails. There are trails leaving from this campground that connect to the Appalachian Trail and lots of other of varying difficulty. No showers but it’s not far from the entrance and a little town where you can pick up what you need to. Take the rangers seriously about bears, we saw prints in the morning not 1/4 mile from our RV.
