We have endless activities that are engaging, safe, and age appropriate that your teens are sure to love. Boredom isn’t an option when you’re at our campground with the perfect mix of outdoor adventures, indoor fun, and modern amenities. Here are 5 activities your teens will love when enjoying a Smokies camping experience with us:
1. Swimming at Flint Rock Beach
The Flint Rock swimming hole and private beach at Greenbrier Campground is one of our biggest attractions! If you have teenagers, chances are they’ll want to spend much of their free time here. It’s a secluded sanctuary where teens can swim, float, soak up the sun on the shore, or skip stones. It’s the perfect place to head after a hike in the national park when you need to cool off and relax. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, it’s equally peaceful as it is entertaining.
2. Game Room
Have a gamer in the family? Greenbrier Campground has our very own game room, filled with activities that are sure to put a smile on your teen’s face. Our game room features multiple arcade games, a TV for watching sports, shows, or movies, and even board games perfect for family nights. In addition, we even have outdoor billiards and outdoor ping pong!
3. Sports & Recreation
If you have teens who love to stay active, they’ll have plenty to do on your Smokies camping trip! We have a number of different sports and recreational activities that lead to hours of competition and fun. Some of the top activities include volleyball, basketball, badminton, bocce ball, cornhole, gaga ball, and of course, a camping classic, horseshoes. These sports are a great way to meet new friends and spend quality time outdoors.
4. Campfire Memories & More Evening Fun
The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down on your Smokies camping trip. Some of the most memorable moments happen under the night sky. Nights spent around the campfire are some of the best times with family and friends. From roasting marshmallows and making s’mores to sharing stories and reliving your favorite memories from your trip, it’s the perfect way to unwind after a long day. If your teens are interested in constellations, Greenbrier Campground is the perfect place for stargazing without light pollution!
5. Exploring the Smokies
Outside of our campground you’ll find so much adventure in the great outdoors! Nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a must-visit with all sorts of fun that teens love. Spend some time exploring some of the more than 800 miles of hiking trails to get up close and personal with nature. Waterfalls are a true sight to behold and make for unforgettable experiences. Plus, during your adventures in the park, you’re likely to see some fascinating animals in the Smoky Mountains!
