Eastern Tennessee

[Loneoak]

We are planning a trip to Eastern Tennessee after next year’s rally (2023). I was looking at campgrounds online, and most don’t seem to show their prices on their websites. I have heard that Anchor Down is very nice, but their price is $99 per night. Is that the going price for most campgrounds in that area? Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Also, are there any attractions or things to do we should consider while in the area? I already have Dollywood on our list, as well as Great Smoky Mountain park for driving around and hiking. We will have our ebikes with us, so if anyone knows of any good trails we can explore in the area, that would be great.

We want to see the Biltmore estate in Asheville, and head home to Eastern Ontario via I-81. We take I-81 to and from Florida every year, but we have never stopped to explore the area, including the Blueridge Parkway. So that’s on our list as well.
