Jellystone still has IMO the nicest setting but it's much farther out...but I keep coming back to that one...but that darn Twin Creek is also very nice (but apparently the owners are real strict...so for our group...that may be bad?)...than that smokey bear place...that is the 'small' one near Jellystone with only 2 cabins (the pappa bear is the real nice one Beth spoke of...) that place has a meeting room for us to gather and have a pot-luck dinner/breakfast if we choose...ARGH...see what i'm trying to rate!!!...they all have pluses/minuses...back to the spreadsheet to put some more ratings in...

It shows where each CG is in relation to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge/etc...

Hey, you guys are doing a great job. I still think the Jello site is the one to go too. We don't want the owners to be dick heads and two cabins is prolly not enough. I don't really see Beth letting me shack up with her and all..
As for driving to attractions, isn't that why we got the trucks?
