    Great Smokies

    This will be our first visit. We are not into Dollywood but want to stay close to smokies to see the sites. We are not hikers. WE would like full hookup, no dry camping or state/national park. Near Gatlinburg would be nice or Townsend. Thanks for the reply. It was our first post. Bob and Cindy
