Camping in the Smokies in Sept.

[dltang]

Well, as I have mentioned, not 100% sure about Gatlinburg yet. If we do get to go, it will not be for the whole week but just a short trip. Tentatively we would be looking at this itinerary. Leave very early Thursday morning, get down there and set up camp. Take a nice scenic ride over to Lamont's for the BBQ. Spend Friday doing some riding in the Smokies and maybe meeting some SpyderLovers that might still be around that late in the week. Leave bright and early on Sat. morning. It is about a 9.5 to 10 hour ride if we run straight thru and no lolly gagging around. Here is one campsite I found on line that seems to be part way between Gatlinburg and the BBQ, if you have any info on this site or others, I would love your input.

I LOVED the state park campground up in the Smokies. Nothing like waking up in the mountains!

As for the national campground, I believe Cosby would be the closest to both Lamont and the group activities in G'burg. It also has a great backdoor entrance which eliminates a lot of the traffic entering Sevierville/Pigeon Forge. I had forgotten about this option, Deb, when I PM'd you regarding Arrow Creek.

Cosby also takes reservations (25 anyway), the rest are on first-come, first served basis.
