Campgrounds
A warm, cozy fire in the evening only complements the splashing of creeks and streams. The beautiful rhythm of tree frogs, crickets and owls creates a symphony you'll never forget. Enjoy hiking, biking and tubing. Or watch birds, identify wildflowers and photograph wildlife. Many sites are on the Little River. So to truly experience the Smokies, a modern or rustic campsite may be the thing for you. All Townsend campgrounds have full amenities including hot showers, water, electric hook-up and more.
