Smoky Bear Campground



This campground is the friendliest we've ever been at. The hosts, Barry and Chong O'Leary are extremely helpful. Barry came over after we got set up and made sure everything was ok. The next day we stopped in the office before we went anywhere. Chong asked what our plans were and she had us wait a minute while she printed out some information. We wanted to go to the Smoky Mountains so she got out a map and they both showed us roads and trails with some advice about the difficulty and or time required. One afternoon Barry came over with a stack of CD's. He'd heard us playing some Irish music and wondered if we'd heard those. He also told us about the Irish/ Scottish history of the area.
The campground is very nice and all the staff are very helpful and friendly.
We'll be sure to stay here again (there's lots we haven't seen yet).
