Townsend is a small town along US-321 north of the park. It is only a few miles to the Townsend entrance, which is just north of the intersection of the
Little River Road and
Laurel Creek Road. From there, it is only a 7 mile drive to the insanely popular Cades Cove area. It is also reasonable to access the main Tennessee side of the park along
Newfound Gap Road from Townsend.
We offer two methods of finding lodging in the area. The first is a search via
