lly stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and even a fireplace. We especially loved spending time outside by the fire pit and in our private hot tub. I highly recommend Basecamp for couples looking to get away and connect with nature and each other. Five stars!

I recently stayed at Basecamp Smoky Mountains and had a great experience. The resort is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and the perfect place to unplug. I loved waking up to quiet ...

mornings, fresh air, and beautiful views. My room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The private patio, fire pit, and hot tub were big bonuses and made the stay feel extra relaxing. I also enjoyed having easy access to hiking trails and outdoor spaces right on the property. It was nice not having to drive anywhere to explore. Evenings by the fire pit were one of my favorite parts of the trip. Overall, Basecamp Smoky Mountains is a great spot if you want a calm, relaxing getaway in the Smokies. I left feeling refreshed and would definitely stay here again.
