      Elkmont Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park

      Beautiful spot in the smoky mountains. State park style amenities, no showers. No hookups. Very busy very open campground. Nice that some trails are walking distance from campground. I would not camp here again as I prefer more separation and privacy. No cell service. STARLINK is usable but obstructed with tree canopy

      Candy Mountain Goat Farm

      Welcoming, well-maintained, and peaceful campsite

      I camped here with a friend last weekend and absolutely loved this place! It's a cute little site with a great host, clean bathrooms, free firewood, and super friendly dogs, goats, and people. I would for sure stay here again and recommend.

      Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA Campground

      Busy but Nice

      This worked well for us while we were visiting Dollywood in our trailer, but we wouldn't stay here if we had been in a different type of site. Cons: Unless you have a site up against the river or on patriot park, you are packed in VERY TIGHT with other people, sometimes with your sliders only a foot or two away from your neighbor's sliders. We were in a site that was "on patriot park", but the few first sites of that type are really just behind the trolley parking lot and pick up with a path behind you (including ours). People are on the other side of the fence walking about two feet behind you all day and pretty late in to the night. Pros: There are lot of trees and campground is very pretty. Super close to Dollywood and other Pigeon Forge points of interest.

      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      4th Time Here

      This is our number one favorite place to camp. We are from Knoxville, TN and if we are wanting to camp for the weekend but avoid the drive, this is where we come! Area 1 site 25 is our favorite and we are super excited to stay at 108 and 109 in the future. The campground is beautiful. Area 1 is shaded with plenty of trees around making it feel like you're in a little forest, and of course fall is wonderful. Some sites have sewer. I have T-mobile cell phone and I have 3 bars at 5g and my husband has xfinity and has 2 bars at 4G.

      Love this campground!

      Gateway RV Campground - Tennessee

      A Great Place to Stay

      We really enjoyed our stay at Gateway RV Campground! After spending plenty of time on the road, it’s always nice to find somewhere you can park up, relax, and feel at home.

      The campground has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and was a great place to unwind.

      One of the real bonuses is the trolley that stops right outside the campground office. What a fantastic convenience! It makes getting out and exploring the local area so much easier without having to pack everything up and take the RV. Such a simple touch, but one that makes a big difference when you’re traveling.

      We’ve stayed at plenty of RV parks during our travels, and it’s often the little things that make a place stand out.

      All in all, a very enjoyable stay, and we’d happily return if we’re passing through the area again. Definitely worth a stop!

      Sun Outdoors Sevierville Pigeon Forge

      Quick drop in

      I had a brain fart and screwed up our dates and needed just one night last minute. Their online booking won’t take reservations less than 24 hours in advance. Quick call and they had us a spot and even offered early check in if we wanted it.

      I appreciated a table and chairs instead of a picnic table. We had a little shade. Hookups were middle of the pad… super easy.

      Lots to do right in the park. Well maintained and good location. We will try to stay longer next time.

      Davy Crockett Campground

      Too expensive for a night

      This looks like a nice campground, but I just needed to sleep. I asked for the least expensive site and was told $70. The WiFi didn't even work. Under new ownership and was told it would be getting better. They claim to be the friendliest dog RV Park in America, but they don't even have a dog park so I don't know why they think they're the best.

      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      Nice campground.

      Level paved spot, partial shade (site 140), quiet, sites not too close together, cooler evenings than LA (lower AL). Nice staff. Not crowded.

    Cabins near Loudon, Tennessee range from basic structures to premium accommodations in natural settings. Located in the eastern part of Tennessee at elevations between 800-1200 feet, Loudon sits within an hour's drive of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

    What to do

    River tubing access: At Townsend-Great Smokies KOA, cabins offer convenient proximity to water recreation. "The Little River runs behind it. Go tubing!!! So much fun. We booked for next year," notes one visitor at Townsend-Great Smokies KOA.

    Historic ghost town exploration: Within a short drive of many Loudon cabins, the Daisy Town ghost town at Elkmont provides unique historical interest. A camper at Elkmont Campground mentions, "The campground has a wonderful area and the history of the place is amazing."

    Bicycle rentals: Many cabin guests enjoy cycling opportunities, especially at Cades Cove where vehicle traffic is restricted on certain days. "On certain days they close off the loop of Cades Cove for bicycles to be able to ride. At the store near the campground they rent bikes for a reasonable rate," shares one visitor.

    What campers like

    Convenient lake access: Cabin rentals near Toqua Beach Campground feature direct water views and boating amenities. According to one visitor at Toqua Beach Campground, "This is a very clean, gated campground located right on the lake with available boat slips to rent during your stay."

    Clean bathroom facilities: Many cabin renters appreciate access to well-maintained bathhouses. A guest at Hidden Lake Campground and Resort reports, "The bath house was one of the best we have ever used. It was spotless with plenty of hot water and pressure!"

    Weekend events: Several cabin rental locations coordinate special activities. A Sweetwater KOA visitor mentions, "This is a very lively, well traveled RV Park and Campground...

    Environmental considerations: Some cabin areas experience environmental factors. A Sweetwater visitor noted, "There was a downside that we noticed the first night. It was an unpleasant odor that circulated in the air all around the area. I assume its due to the farmland and paper plant nearby."
