Greenbrier Campground
Quick Facts
Why Gatlinburg & the Great Smoky Mountains
Gatlinburg sits right at the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, with a lesser-known entrance through the Greenbrier area just six miles east of downtown via US-321. This quieter section of the park offers picnic areas and hiking trails through deep forest silence, a genuine contrast to the busier Cades Cove and Sugarlands entrances closer to town.
Greenbrier Campground puts guests within real river access for tubing, fishing, and swimming, while staying minutes from Gatlinburg’s SkyBridge, Ripley’s Aquarium, and the wider tourist district.

- Location: Gatlinburg, minutes from downtown and Greenbrier
- Setting: River-fronted, close to the national park
- Site type: RV and tent campground
- Amenities: River tubing, fishing, and swimming on-site, planned kids’ activities, award-winning bathhouses

Pro Tips for Booking
Ask for a site away from the main play area if you want quieter evenings. The property is genuinely activity-packed, which is great for families but worth planning around if you prefer calm.
Explore the Greenbrier entrance to the park. It’s a quieter alternative to Cades Cove, just six miles east of downtown.
Visit Gatlinburg SkyPark. The 700-foot SkyBridge and mountaintop views are a short drive away.
