Top 4 Reasons Why Hikers Love Staying At Our Smoky Mountain Campground
If you’re planning on doing some hiking during your Smoky Mountain vacation, there is no better place to stay than our campground along the Pigeon River! Our beautiful campground is a perfect home base for all of your hiking activities and offers every amenity you need to enjoy the great outdoors! Whether you want to pitch a tent, park your RV, or spend the night in a cozy camping cabin, you’ll love everything about our peaceful camping retreat in the Smokies! Here are the top 4 reasons why hikers love staying at our Smoky Mountain campground:
1. Close to Hiking Trails in the National Park and Cherokee National Forest
Our Smoky Mountain campground not only features a spectacular location with riverfront camping, but we’re close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Cherokee National Forest! This means that you’ll have easy access to hundreds of hiking trails for all skill levels, ranging from short walks through the woods to challenging day hikes! The hiking opportunities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are virtually endless, but some of the popular destinations include the Big Creek Trail, Hen Wallow Falls, Sutton’s Ridge, and many more. Just a reminder, a parking pass is now required in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for anyone who is going to be parked for more than 15 minutes.
2. Appalachian Trail is Just 5 Miles Away
We know that many hikers have the Appalachian Trail on their bucket list, but the hard part is finding the time to hike this epic trail that runs for nearly 2,200 miles from Maine to Georgia! The awesome news is that 94 of those miles are right here in Tennessee, and you’ll find that the trail cuts across Interstate 40 just 5 miles east of our campground! This is your chance to experience part of the most famous trail in the United States, and there is parking for several cars just off Waterville Road at I-40, exit 451.
