First trip in our new to us 2010 171

My wife and I went on our first camping trip with our newly acquired 2010 171.  We travelled 2740 miles total from Central Massachusetts and headed to Nashville (Seven Points Campground) and then via Chattanooga to Moonshine Creek in NC.  Our very first night was in a Walmart parking lot in Martinsburg, WV which went very well and we visited the cleanest Walmart I have ever seen.  Next night was at Hungry Mothers' State Park which was a very nice full hook up. Next two nights were at a waterfront back-in site with electric and water at Seven Points (an Army Corps of Engineers Campground) which was peaceful and beautiful. The next three nights were spent at Moonshine Creek in Balsam NC, a very nice campground with full amenities.  The shower/bath/laundry area was beautiful and the staff was most helpful. After spending two full days exploring the Great Smoky Mountains NP, it was time to head home.  We stayed a night at Sherando Family Recreation Area in Virginia a quiet site with electric and saw our second R-Pod of our trip.  The fellow R-Pod campers were nice enough to share some tips from their experiences of part time travel over the last three years.

David, would love to know which camp grounds in the Smoky Mountains you recommend. We are going that way after seeing family in Louisville, Ky.
