Creekside RV Park

Few places in the South have quite the same draw as the Smoky Mountains. Not only are they a nature lover’s dream, with a vast network of hiking trails and crystal-clear waters to swim in, but the towns surrounding the mountain range are full of family-friendly tourist attractions. Pigeon Forge is undoubtedly the center of tourism in the region, with theme parks, musical events, and tons of great shopping to keep everyone entertained. It’s also the perfect place to do some motorhome camping, with lots of amenity-heavy RV parks. One of the best parks is Creekside RV Park, just off Highway 321 and a few miles west of Pigeon Forge’s downtown area.

Creekside RV Park is a full-service RV campground complete with full hookups (30 and 50-amp capacity) for your RV rental, along with cable TV and Wi-Fi. If you need to get freshen up, there’s an excellent bathhouse, and there are laundry facilities too. If you’ve forgotten any camping essentials, there’s a small camp store where you can pick up most things, though it’s only a short drive to the grocery store in Pigeon Forge.

There’s also a relaxing saltwater swimming pool that feels great on the skin after a long day of hiking or just browsing the shops in town. If you’re an angler, Walden Creek runs right next to the campground and is a great place to while away an afternoon if you’ve got a Tennessee fishing license (available at sporting goods stores and gas stations in Pigeon Forge). You also don’t need to take your motorhome rental onto the town’s streets, as there’s a tourist trolley that picks up from the campground and goes to all the major sights.
