I downloaded one, called "RV Parks and Campgrounds".  It was free and see to be really helpful.  It will tell you the top 15 rv parks in the area you have pulled up on the map.  It will refresh as you zoom in/out.  It will also show you gas stations, truck stops, rest areas, walmarts, cracker barrels, etc. on the map.  don't know how much I trust the reviews, may want to do a little independent research, but that goes for just about anything.  I got it from the google play store, don't know if its available on apple. 

Outstanding, thanks!

I was looking for this map too, but these links seem to be broken. Any thoughts?

in March, my parents will join us for spring break.  Everyone uses their magic bands and charge back to the bill, so we will spend the last night of the trip trying to decide who owes what and it is guaranteed to be a great evening. 

Receipts, receipts, receipts! 

+1 for Smoky Bear. 

We love this campground! Is a little out of the way, but man is it worth it,  in my opinion.

Just found a video of the new Fort golf carts!

I was so hoping a parachute would pop out at the end of that run!

I agree, great pics!  A sense of calm at Disney is sometimes hard to come by.

I can see Disney Springs being a place prone to that. Fewer children, lots of alcohol, and the layout of that place seems pretty claustrophobic. The behavior of these people is clearly inexcusable but places like that seem to be a breeding ground for poor decisions.

Thanks. If anyone has any suggestions for sites to request in the 200/100 loops I'd be glad to hear them. We're heading down to the fort in may. And would like to find the "perfect" site. Something close to the CS but not where everyone is going through your site, some privacy, and easy access to the marina. Thanks again

Yes, they have sea raycers, AND jet skis, AND parasailing, etc., etc.

Good to know.  Thanks for the info

We got a seat pet, and tried it out on a 2 hour trip the other evening.  Glad to say that so far so good.  He slept pretty well in the back seat with his head rested on the pillow.  No head, or body droop.  We have a longer trip scheduled in Dec.  Hopefully everything goes as well. 

This is why we can't have nice things

This is the late Wrigley Bear.  We lost him in Feb., and he is sorely missed.  The bottom pic is the new guy, the boot.  He and my son have become pretty much inseparable.

We stay here every year. We got to know the owners and reserve the same spot every year. Very clean and quiet. Some will say it's too far out of town. I say it gets th kids to play outside and realize what dirt and stones are. Highly recommended for a trip in th smokies

I could not agree more!  The owners seemed like very nice people and we will definitely be going back. As far as being too far out, I look at it like this.  I can go ride go karts and play putt-putt anywhere.  There is only one place to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains.  Our last trip all we did was explore the park, hike to waterfalls, etc. I think it was one of, if not my favorite trip ever to the Smokies. 

the ones at the Contemporary are a little zippier, but you have to be 16 to drive them there. Bring picture ID!!

Are the ones at the contemporary still the sea raycer type boats?  I've heard they have jet skis over there but I don't think the little one, (or the little ones mother more likely) is ready for those. 

Ok thanks. My 6yo is so excited about going out on them! We'll definitely add that to the list of things to do.

The last post about these looks to be about 4 years old.  Does anyone have any recent experiance with them?  My son is really excited about riding them around next time we are down there. I guess the big question is are they worth the price, and are there any recommendations about the length of time to rent one?   

Bear Cove Village is another nice campground in Pigeon Forge. It sits next to Dolly wood but not close enough to hear it. If we are staying "in town" we stay there. It's not right on the strip, but pretty convenient to everything.

Smoky Bear Campground is a great place just outside of Gatlinburg TN.  Close enough to go play in town whenever you want, but far enough away to be rid of the noise and crowds.  We loved it!

We stayed in 402 last may, it was a breeze. Like TCD said you can turn down the loop, (like you're going the wrong direction) until you're lined up. Then it's as simple as backing straight in.

Does anyone have any experience with site 210. Looks good on the app, but I would like some first hand Intel if anyone has any.

Thanks

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

We're looking forward to that trip again soon!

You're not using enough duct tape, then.

Duct Tape!  The answer was right in front of my eyes  the whole time!

No, but it would increase the amount of data that could stream through cellular service.  Don't know that's what they are shooting for, but could still make wireless service better for those using their own cellular data plans.  Not the same as WiFi of course.
