Fun Things To Do In Gatlinburg, Tennessee

| Comments (1)

We love exploring all there is to see & do in the Gatlinburg area.

Actually, I'm referring to those areas surrounding Gatlinburg more than the actual town of Gatlinburg itself.

Why? Because the town itself is so touristy -- with all the souvenir shops and fun things to do downtown -- that it gets pretty hectic and congested.

That's why we typically hang out somewhere between Townsend (to the west), Cosby (to the east) and Bryson City (to the south).


Creeks, streams, and waterfalls are a common sight all over Gatlinburg and East Tennessee.
In fact, the only times we even venture into Gatlinburg is when we've got out-of-town visitors with us, and they've never been to Gatlinburg, or when we happen to be there over the 4th of July, and we want to venture in town to see the fireworks.

You simply can't beat the Gatlinburg/East Tennessee area for camping & exploring nature!

Here are the highlights from some of our trips to Gatlinburg, TN:

TIP: Plan your trip wisely... Gatlinburg can get pretty congested during peak season. Each Fall, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Gatlinburg gets 1 million visitors each and every October alone!
