About Greenbrier Campground
Greenbrier Campground is a private campground at 2353 East Parkway (US-321) in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, east of downtown on the way to the Greenbrier entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is not a national park campground: the park itself has no campground at Greenbrier, only a picnic area. Campspot lists about 120 full-hookup sites, from river frontage to wooded spots.
Booking and rules
Reserve through Campspot or call 865-430-7415 (reservations 844-304-7466, per campground directories). Check-in is after 1 p.m. and check-out before 11 a.m., and generators are not allowed. Rates vary widely by site type and season, and summer, October and holiday weekends book months ahead. The campground's old website has lapsed, so confirm details through the booking page or by phone.
What to expect
The setting is the Little Pigeon River on a quieter stretch of US-321 than the Gatlinburg Parkway, with more trees and less traffic. Reviewers on Campspot in fall 2025 praised the bathhouses and riverside sites. Sites are set up for RVs with full hookups, so tent campers should ask about availability when they book.
Getting there
Take US-321 east out of Gatlinburg; the campground is a few miles from downtown. The Greenbrier entrance to the national park is nearby, with trails to Porters Creek, Fern Branch Falls and Ramsey Cascades. Gatlinburg's restaurants and shuttle options are a short drive back toward town.
Nearby
- Ramsey Cascades: The park's tallest waterfall, an 8-mile round trip.
- Fern Branch Falls: About 4 miles round trip on Porters Creek Trail.
- Cosby and Big Creek: A drive farther east for quiet trails.
In the national park, a parking tag is required for any vehicle parked more than 15 minutes, and federal passes do not replace it.
