Great Smoky Mountains - Cades Cove, TN

We've been in east Tennessee since 2001 and have thoroughly enjoyed living in this area. One of the biggest benefits for us was that the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) was just an hour away from our house, including our much-loved Cades Cove.

The GSMNP is absolutely beautiful and spans the Smoky Mountains running through North Carolina and Tennessee. I highly recommend a visit to this national park, and Cades Cove in particular (although it can be very crowded during family vacation times).

We've camped at Cades Cove campground in our previous RV (Safari Trek) and now we're here in the Dolphin for four nights. We love it here!  But a word of caution, a lot of the campsites are on an incline and campers with larger RVs may not be able to level their rigs properly. This was this case with us, but we stayed anyway - just did not extend our slides-outs. Even a somewhat cramped visit to Cades Cove is still fabulous!

We drove around the Cades Cove loop today and went for a short hike at one point. As always, it is beautiful and peaceful up here.
