Booking.com

Roamstead is a brand new luxury campground that has opened outside of Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The accommodations were founded after Shannon Connolly and her family went on a camping trip through Utah and Colorado’s National Parks, where they found themselves disappointed with glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities.
