➡️ Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures finally arrive at their new destination, Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee after enjoying their stay at the KOA Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg in the Great Smoky Mountains for an entire week. They decide to take a moment to recap and share about their wonderful KOA experience. They want to help viewers make a decision on where to RV camp near Smoky Mountain National Park; near the action or on the quieter side of Townsend.
Stan and Rhonda look forward to sharing their new location with you. Fall Creek Falls State Park turns out to be one of their favorite destinations during their Faith Over Fear Cross Country Trip.
Come with Stan and Rhonda as they share some things you must do and see when you visit Pigeon Forge!

We love the Smokies. The rain in the spring in the SE can be interesting and really wet. Pigeon Forge is very touristy. We have season passes to Dollywood. If you are back in the area and we are in town, we can get you in with our buddy passes. Seriously. Y’all would LOVE the gospel music they have there. And the cinnamon bread…yummy. Sa-vear-ville.

Hi Stuward, make sure you watch all the videos including Fall Creek Falls. Which is about an hour and half away. The Great Smoky Mountains is one of our favorite National Parks 🏞️ Fall Creek Falls State Park is the best State Park we have ever been too. With full hook ups available, it even has a beautiful golf course in the middle. All with 5 minutes of your campsite. Thank you for watching our other adventures. Stan and Rhonda❤️

Pigeon Forge KOA Is our preferred campground because it's centrally located. Helps since we bring our little dogs. As far as the weather.. it's typical Tennessee weather...lol... it gets frustrating. And if you missed Smoky Mountain Knife Works you really missed out. Great video guys.

Hi guys! Thanks for joining us 🤗 We actually really enjoyed the KOA’s location being centrally located to all the activities. We may do it differently next time just to be closer to the National Park, but who knows when that will be. Unfortunately, we did miss the knife works 😩 We heard great things about it and will have to make it there next visit. Thanks for the tip! Have a great rest of the week! ~ Rhonda and Stan

I grew up going to Gatlinburg every summer for vacation... We would stay in the park most of the time. Loved hiking the trails and wading the creeks. Have not been in years till last year and went for a family trip. Was disappointed in how crowded it was and you could not even stop at any of the trails in the park. I agree if you can bypass Pigeon Forge and get to the park it is best. If you go back make your way to the North Carolina side and go to Cherokee and Bryson City area.

Thanks for sharing your adventures in this "wild and crazy place"! We went to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for the first time in 1991 to attend a professional meeting and, later, visit mom in Winston-Salem, NC. We were from a small desert town in central New Mexico and had NO IDEA what was there. We figured it was small, quaint towns with a couple of tourist traps. We got to Pigeon Forge and we couldn't believe our eyes! What the HECK is THIS!?!? It was insane even then! Last time we went through there was in 2009 after visiting mom in Winston-Salem NC. Guys, it was WORSE! Even MORE had been added to the insanity! They are now breaking ground on a Buc-ee's to complete the ensemble! 😏😉😂 Bob and Dottie
