Tremont Outdoor Resort in Townsend, Tennessee. It is about 20 minutes south of Pigeon Forge. Townsend is a small town right at the entrance to the GSM National Park. Town ordinances don't allow a lot of retail development, so all the businesses there are just mom and pop stores. There is a bicycle path that runs the entire length of Hwy 321 through the town so you can bike around town without being out in the traffic. Tremont Resort campground is right at the entrance to the park. It is very shady, the Little River runs right behind it and if you get a river front site you will have a covered deck by the river. The river is stocked with trout and you can trout fish. The river is also great for tubing. Tremont is very shady and clean. I would recommend section B, as it is newer with better utilities, although it isn't quite as shady as section A.
Check it out on the 'net. If you don't like Tremont, there are several other campgrounds in and around Townsend. There is a KOA right next door that is nice, but the sites are pretty cramped. Big Meadow RV Campground is fairly new and really nice, but it is right out in the open with no shade. It might be alright in the fall, but you'd burn up in the summer.
