If you want to enjoy a fancy dinner on your camping trip instead of cooking on the fire, our campground is just a short drive away to some of the most romantic restaurants in the Smokies. In Gatlinburg, you will find The Peddler Steakhouse, which is one of the most common date night restaurants in the area. This is the perfect place to treat yourself and your sweetheart to one of the best steak dinners you have ever had. The Peddler hand cuts each piece of meat and grills everything over Tennessee hickory charcoal, giving it an unmatchable flavor.

3. Ride on The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel
The Island in Pigeon Forge has a multitude of activities for couples, including The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. This 200 foot ferris wheel presents an unbelievable view of Pigeon Forge and the Smoky Mountains. Each gondola is made with glass, which gives you a 360 degree view from way up in the sky. While you are stationed at the top, you can snap a selfie with your date to post on social media and to show to your friends and family back home! Afterwards, be sure to watch The Island Show Fountain in action and check out the dozens of amazing shops near the ferris wheel.
4. Play a Round of Miniature Golf
One of the most exciting things to do in the Smoky Mountains for couples is miniature golf! If you and your sweetheart like a little friendly competition, you can test your skills to see who can get the lowest score. There are plenty of amazing courses all across the Smokies, all the way from Sevierville to Gatlinburg. If you find yourself in Pigeon Forge, you can check out Crave Golf Club, which was voted the #1 miniature golf course in the country!
