Tips & Recommendations
- 1Reserve group sites as early as possible—popular locations like Cades Cove Group Campground and Lillydale accept reservations up to one year in advance and often fill within days of becoming available.
- 2Designate a group coordinator to handle the reservation and communicate site-specific rules to all participants before arrival.
- 3Bring extra tarps and rope for creating communal dining areas, as Tennessee weather can be unpredictable with sudden afternoon thunderstorms, especially in summer months.
- 4Pack layers regardless of season—mountain temperatures can drop 20 degrees after sunset even in summer, while lakefront locations may experience warm, humid conditions.
