Great Smoky Guide
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Plan the Smokies with a clean park map, trail ideas, camping basics, airport access, parking tag costs, history, safety tips and trip tools.
Great Smoky Mountains Guide is an independent travel companion for planning a Smokies trip before you drive into the park.
Use it to understand the real trip decisions: where to enter, which gateway town fits your route, how parking tags work, what trails are realistic, where to camp, which airport makes sense, and how costs change across seasons.
Built for Great Smoky Mountains National Park visitors, road trippers, hikers, campers, families, and first-time Smokies travelers.
What you can do:
• Open a clean Smokies map with park pins, gateways, views, trailheads, campgrounds, waterfalls, visitor centers, and access points
• Filter the map by gateways, info stops, views, trails, campgrounds, services, and useful travel anchors
• Build practical trip ideas around routes, budget, base camps, parking, weather, and day-by-day flow
• Compare airport access from Knoxville, Asheville, Greenville-Spartanburg, and other regional airports
• Review a cost guide for entrance, parking tags, camping, lodging, fuel, tours, and activity planning
• Check camping basics before choosing a campground or side of the park
• Explore trail and route ideas, from easy first-day walks to higher-effort mountain routes
• Use the season calendar to plan around crowds, road access, weather, lodging value, and campground availability
• Learn the human history of the Smokies, including Cherokee homelands, Cades Cove, Elkmont, CCC access, and historic structures
• Keep emergency guidance, safety reminders, and important travel notes close
• Save places and addresses in the address book for your trip
• Use travel shortcuts for hotels, flights, cars, tours, and tickets
Useful for trips based in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Townsend, Cherokee, Bryson City, Asheville, Knoxville, and other Smokies gateway areas.
The app is designed to help answer the questions visitors actually ask:
Where should we stay?
Which side of the park should we enter from?
Do we need a parking tag?
Which airport is the best fit?
What can we do on our first day?
Which trails are realistic for our group?
When are roads, campgrounds, and visitor services more likely to change?
Great Smoky Mountains Guide focuses on practical planning, not clutter. It brings maps, costs, trails, camping, airports, safety, history, and trip tools into one simple pocket guide.
