Default Great Tennessee Campground

Went down for an Open Range rally to the Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge, TN. If
you're thinking of a trip to Gatlinburg or the Great Smokies, this is a super place
to stay. Very impressive campground.

Our site (and it was the cheapest. The next jump up got a beautiful fireplace. None
available when we booked.):

Yeah, they sold a bucket of wood for $5, so we had a fire most every night. We would
'round robin' the fire with friends.

When we pulled in, there was a guy in the next site over with a 'lite' (cheap?),
small towed trailer. He came over to say hello and within a minute told me about his
42' 'motor yacht' on the Tennessee River and his mountain home up in the Great
Smokies.

Oh well, at least he didn't brag about a non-existent gun collection and the owls in
his back yard.

A mountain home up in the Great Smokies would be a great place to
spend part of the summer.

That would be mine, too. RV'ing just has no appeal to me...driving long
distances on the interstates or worse roads, towing a motel room, and
setting up where you are depending upon nothing more than a boat toilet,
A/C that depends upon the vagaries of a campsite, loud and sometimes
drunk near neighbors, little kids running amok, et cetera.
