1. smokey mountains right on the tn nc border great times good memories will have some fog in the mountains so try to find a campsite in the sunlight
2. through gatlinburg into the smokies. do some research if youre thinking of a few hikes too... the AT is amazing. find "100 greatest hikes in the smokies" by Russ Manning. i havent found a book comparable to it. feel free to email me.
3. Definitely, the Smoky Mountains are a good place to go camping...
4. There is camping at the Douglas Dam between the mountains and Knoxville that is pretty cool. Camping at any TVA dam area is usually nice.
5. There are several nice campgrounds inside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Here are some good choices: Cades Cove Campground, Cosby Campground (nice shady campsites - not as many tourist), and Smokemont (on the North Carolina side). Happy Camping :)
