Top 5 Benefits of Camping in the Smoky Mountains

Apr. 26, 2021

There are all types of exciting lodging options in the Gatlinburg area, including several campgrounds where you can camp out under the stars! While hotels and cabins may offer modern comforts and amenities, there is nothing quite like camping among the natural surroundings of the Smokies! Here are the top 5 benefits of camping in the Smoky Mountains:

1. Immersed in Nature

You will discover plenty of local campgrounds that are situated near rivers, dense forests and other natural wonders. Wake up in the morning to the gentle sounds of a mountain stream and spend your evenings under the stars shining brightly in the night sky! There is just no better way to spend your vacation in the Smokies!

2. Affordable Campground Rates

It can be incredibly affordable to stay in a campground, especially when compared to the rates of hotels and cabin rentals! This allows you to save a significant amount of money and allocate funds to other areas of your vacation, such as attraction admissions, show tickets, dining out, souvenirs and more! The affordable campground rates also make it easier to extend your vacation, so don’t just spend a few days, come for the whole week!

3. Fun Camping Activities

This is an exciting opportunity to create wonderful new memories with your family and friends as you prepare a delicious cookout or roast s’mores around the campfire! You will find that the campgrounds in the Smokies offer a wide range of fun recreational opportunities, including playgrounds, swimming areas, volleyball, horseshoes, fishing and much more!

4. Close to Incredible Attractions

The awesome thing about camping in the Smoky Mountains is that you are just minutes away from all of the incredible attractions in Gatlinburg! Despite the peaceful environment of the campground, you are always only a short drive away from popular destinations such as Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokes, Ober Gatlinburg, Anakeesta, Gatlinburg SkyLift Park and the Gatlinburg Space Needle! Of course, you are also right on the doorstep to the hundreds of hiking trails at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

5. Unplug from Technology
