  Snug in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Wears Valley, Tennessee, is a dichotomy of East Tennessee life. Just minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, both filled with excitement, adventure and activity galore, Wears Valley offers quiet, solitude and a chance to "get away from it all." And staying at one of the many lovely, well-kept campgrounds offers the best of both worlds.
