If you are trying to decide between camping in the Smoky Mountains or staying in a hotel, the answer is actually quite simple. There is no better way to fully appreciate the beauty and splendor of the Smokies than camping outdoors at the Greenbrier Campground! Here are the top 5 reasons why staying at our Smoky Mountain campground is more fun than staying at a hotel:
1. Immersed in Nature
The Greenbrier Campground offers the perfect way to feel completely immersed in the environment of the Great Smoky Mountains! While it is true that hotels may have lots of fancy amenities, you will feel disconnected from nature in hotel accommodations. After all, we are sure the whole reason you are coming to the Smokies in the first place is to enjoy the great outdoors! The Little Pigeon River runs around our campground, which provides nearly endless riverside activities and a unique environment for trout fishing and relaxing. Imagine camping out under the stars, then waking up to the gentle sounds of songbirds as you catch a breath of fresh mountain air. There is just no comparison to a cramped hotel room where you wake up to a view of a parking lot or a busy street! While staying at our Smoky Mountain campground, you can also take advantage of traditional campground activities such as grilling out and having a campfire each evening!
2. Pets are Welcome
While it can be extremely difficult to find a hotel that allows pets, you will be delighted to know that Greenbrier Campground is a pet-friendly campground! We know that pets are part of the family too, and we would be delighted to welcome your furry companion to our Smoky Mountain campground! We only ask that pet owners respect the rules of the campground and their fellow campers so that everyone can enjoy a pleasant camping experience. If you want to take a hike with your pet, check out the Gatlinburg Trail, which runs from the Sugarlands Visitor Center to the outskirts of Gatlinburg. This is one of the only trails within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that allows pets.
3. Affordable Rates
There is no need to spend a fortune on hotel accommodations in the Smokies when you can stay at the Greenbrier Campground for affordable rates! Whether you are traveling solo, with a family, or with a large group, you will find that our campground offers the best deal for your stay in the Smoky Mountains. Our rates include your campsite and all of our wonderful campground amenities, including a picnic table, fire ring, and charcoal grill at each site, recreational equipment, wireless internet access, and a modern bathhouse.
4. Unbeatble Amenities
While some hotels may have a swimming pool for guests to enjoy, the Greenbrier Campground is home to the best swimming hole in the Smokies as well as many more excellent amenities! We have a playground where your kids can play to their heart’s content and a fun game room for hours of entertainment. One of the best parts of camping is enjoying the great outdoors, so take advantage of our sports equipment to play volleyball, badminton, corn hole, horseshoes, and other great games!
5. Away from the Crowds
While downtown Gatlinburg is a fun place to enjoy some shopping, dining, and entertainment, it can also get quite crowded. Many of the Gatlinburg hotels are situated along the Parkway where there is traffic, noise, and other issues. Greenbrier Campground is situated away from the crowds and has everything from premier riverfront sites where you can listen to the lovely sound of the flowing river to wooded sites shaded from the sun. Regardless of your choice, you will love the unique serenity of our campground in the Smokies! When you do want to explore downtown Gatlinburg, you can take comfort knowing that it is just a short drive away.
Make sure to reserve your camping site at our Smoky Mountain campground today to enjoy the fun of camping in the Smokies! We hope to see you soon at the Greenbrier Campground!
