Default Great Smoky Mountains National Park

DW and I expect to take Jucy for a spin to Great Smoky Mountains National Park this spring, probably early June. First visit. We figure about a three/four day stay before heading over to Biltmore at Asheville. Any suggestions, tips, or experiences anyone may offer are appreciated.

If I were you I would take some care to see the rhododendrons at their peak. When we went to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games 2003 they were fading but still spectacular.

Just completed our foray south, including Smoky Mountain National Park, the Tail of the Dragon, Biltmore Estate, the National Battlefields at Cowpens and Kings Mountain, Appomattox Courthouse, and parts between - 1,682 miles. Our camping fees totaled $58 for the journey, including $8 at Smokemont campground in the park, $5 at the neighboring Joyce Kilmer National Forest, and a freebie outside of Durham. BTW: South Carolina has some very nice and well-kept state park campgrounds.
