Smoky
Mountains RV Campgrounds
Newsletter March 2008
(Issue #2008 - 01)
Spring is just around the
corner and the anticipation for the upcoming 2008 season is building. Most
of the seasonal parks will be opening around March 15th. The thing we would
like to stress in this months Newsletter is the importance of getting your
reservations made now. RVing has been growing rapidly in popularity due
mostly to the "Go RVing" ad campaign. The RV Manufacturers have helped as
well with their many new creature comforts that they have added to their
models. Not to mention the "Baby Boomers" retiring at an alarming rate with
their first priority to travel. Combined with the fact that the Smoky
Mountains is the #1 most visited National Park in the USA. More and more
attractions are being added for your enjoyment. This area is known for it's
family friendly environment and has been growing in approval as a family
vacation destination. With all of these factors influencing the area, we
strongly recommend booking your dates A.S.A.P.. Do not wait until the last
minute and expect your favorite campground to still be available --
especially on holiday weekends. Yes there are many campgrounds in the area,
but with everything to do and see, there is something for everyone - spots
will go fast. So, please take our advice and book your campground early so
you will not be disappointed!!!
They really serve a need for
this area. No one in the Smoky Mountains area rents Travel Trailers. There
are a couple of places who rent pop-ups. Not only will
TBS Adventures
deliver the Travel Trailer to the campground - they are fully furnished
with dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster,
and silverware.
Other amenities include microwave, full size refrigerator, TV, DVD
Player, hot water heater, central heat /air, shower, full size toilet, oven,
and stove.
All of their fleet are newer models (2005-2006) and well maintained and very
clean. Just bring your bedding and food and have a great time without
all the worries and expense of towing your own.
Don't have your own RV ? What a great way to "test the waters" before you
buy one. These folks really make your stay more enjoyable.
Make your reservations now as you can imagine they book up fast. Visit their
