    Cave Spring,Ga to Townsend

    We’re going to Cave Spring by way of Hot Springs, Ark to spend a couple of days with my sis. Then traveling together to Townsend for 8 nights. Looking for insight on scenic drives , hikes etc in the area. I’ve been to the Smokies once but it was over 30 years ago. We’re not big amusement area (like Dollywood) people. Prefer the outdoorsy stuff.
    Thanks , Charlie

    It is probably a little more out of the way than you want but the Cherokee NC area has both a Great Smokies visitor center and an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Has all the outdoor stuff you want including tubing, white water rafting, hiking and bike trails and scenic driving. There is also the casino for a change of pace. We spent a week there the end of June and really enjoyed it. Just plan your drive in. One entrance is much easier towing a rig than the other!

    Plan to spend time in Cade’s Cove for the wildlife, animals that is. If you need full hookups several CG’s in Townsend. KOA was nice but tight, riverside sites.

    We have a water front site at Little Arrow , which is just east of the KOA. Looks like the last camp before the entrance to SMNP on the Cade’s Cove side. I think we’ll be a bit early for the fall color , arrive 9/28. Late October was already booked when we made reservations over 6 months ago.

    You are correct on location, and only 10 miles to Cade’s Cove. Have fun!
