Thinking of a trip to the Smokey Mountians this summer

Wow!  That is alot.  We thought of camping there since my brother recently moved to Tenn and we could visit him as well, but I guess maybe we'll just get a hotel!! LOL

Hey...

Check out the Cosby Campground if you want to stay in the park (dry camping) and don't want many crowds. The first-come-first-served site is almost never full, even on busy weekends. Cosby Creek is small water but the fish are fun, there is great hiking (the Mt. Cammerrer Fire Tower (low gap trail) is a brutal climb but worth the views) There are many easier trails as well. Ramsey Cascades is right down the road at Greenbriar... this is an easy trail and there is a really neat waterfall at the end. Plus Greenbriar creek has native brook trout which are the most beautiful fish in the world.

Just my 2c.

If your wanting to stay anywhere in Tn. I'd stay at Fall Creek Falls State Park. You can go on there web site and see the pictures, it's the prettiest state park that we have ever been to. It's near Chattanooga.
