  • We love camping in Big South Fork River Recreation Area. It's A great place to enjoy the mountains without the crowds of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

  • We were there in the spring, April 2023. We stayed at bandy Creek but then also moved up to the North end of The Park at Blue heron. Both camping sites were really beautiful and fun. There were many more trails directly off bandy Creek campground but Blue heron had prettier hiking with Yahoo falls, the mining community, and blue heron loop which was a 6.4 mi loop. Bandy Creek did have leatherwood Ford which was beautiful hiking as well. Highly recommended for camping and hiking which is all we do.
  • Amazing hike! Took my son. He did great. Even had my flashlight die on me at night and never felt unsafe. Peaceful drive. Easy to find.
