Putting the glam in camping: new 'glamping' option opens in Pigeon Forge

When you want to camp but you don't like the bugs and the hard ground... try glamping.

A new glamping destination opened in late September in Pigeon Forge.

Under Canvas Great Smoky Mountains is the company's first glamping camp in the Southeast. It is close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park on 182-acres and features 40 canvas tents.

The size of the tent, amenities offered, and time of year determine the price per night but the most basic accommodations are available for about $100 during a special promotion period.

Under Canvas operates locations in Yellowstone and Glacier in Montana, Moab and Zion in Utah, Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee.

In April, the Little Arrow Outdoor Resort in Townsend opened its doors as well for a "glamping" experience. That campground includes tiny homes on its site.
