[Love to Camp]

Hi Everyone! We have been camping for years. Started out tent camping then moved up to a pop-up. Purchased our first TT in 2012. Last week traded our 2012 Gulfstream Kingsport for a 2016 Springdale 271RL. This is our first Keystone and we will be heading to Pigeon Forge for a week after Easter for its maiden voyage. We will be pulling the TT with a 2014 Tundra long-bed 5.7. Look forward to talking and exchanging information with other Keystone owners on this site. Happy camping everyone!! :wave:

Welcome to the forum from Southern MD neighbor. Enjoy that new rig. Where are you staying in TN. We are thinking about going to that area this summer.

Congratulations on the new rig and :wlcm: . PF was great when the girls were young, now never camp closer than Sevierville (sp). Planning a trip there late summer ~~ when school is back in session.

Hi Tbos,

When in Pigeon Forge, we stay at Pine Mountain RV Resort. It's on Pine Mountain Rd off the Parkway at redlight #6. If you want to stay outside of all the busiest of PF, just outside of Sevierville there is Anchor Down RV Resort.

Both places are really nice but Anchor Down is on a lake/dam.

We were thinking about that location for July too. Lots of choices in the area there.

There are a lot of choices in the area and several new ones in the last several years.

The one behind the Smoky Mt Knife Works is nice too.

Love to camp,

Welcome to the forum from Glen Allen, VA.

Your Tundra should be happy with your Springdale. We had a 2014 Dual cab 5.7 and easily towed a similar unit before we upgraded to our 30RLi. Didn't pass many gas stations though...

As far as campgrounds near Pigion Forge, check out Anchor Down, wow!

Hi Frank,

Our Tundra did really well towing our old camper and hopefully will do just as good with the Springdale even through it is a little heavier. As for gas mileage, I'm guessing we will get about 10 miles to the gallon.

We are going to Anchor Down the week after Easter and hopefully it won't rain all week...lol!

Let us know what you thought of Anchor Down when you get back.

At the advice of many on this forum and this thread too, I made reservations at Anchor Down for the week of April 3rd. This will be the first long trip for the new rig. We took it just for a weekend at a local State Park. So excited to go!!!
