4 Types of Fun Places to Stay in Gatlinburg During Your Sports Tournament

Our sports complex is located just minutes away from hundreds of exciting lodging options! Since we are right on the doorstep to Great Smoky Mountains National Park and downtown Gatlinburg, you will find a wide variety of convenient accommodations to meet your needs. Here are the 4 types of fun places to stay in Gatlinburg during your sports tournament:

1. Hotels

If you have driven through Gatlinburg, you will know that there is no shortage of hotels for all budgets and tastes. Whether you want something walking distance to the action in downtown Gatlinburg or something a bit further away from the business of downtown, there are tons of hotels that can host your sports team. Many of the hotels feature a variety of excellent amenities you can enjoy throughout your stay, including a swimming pool, free wireless Internet access, complimentary breakfasts, and more. You will also find that most hotels provide the easiest access to our sports campus, making it a breeze to go back and forth between games.

2. Condos

For those who prefer a little more room and some additional amenities during a stay in the Smoky Mountains, you may want to choose a 2 or 3 bedroom condo unit. Condos generally offer all of the comforts of home, including a fully equipped kitchen that comes in handy for preparing everything from snacks to full meals. This allows your team to save a significant amount of money from dining out in Gatlinburg for every meal. Many condos also feature laundry facilities in the unit so you can easily wash up sports jerseys and other clothing items after a competition.

3. Cabins

There are all kinds of beautiful cabins for rent throughout the Smoky Mountains, making them a popular option for sports teams coming to Gatlinburg. Many cabins have multiple bedrooms, some which may even have 8 bedrooms or more. The cost of a cabin may actually come out cheaper than booking separate hotel rooms for your team, so be sure to shop around when planning your tournament in the Smokies. A cabin makes you feel more immersed in the mountains and usually has many fun amenities for your team to enjoy, including fully equipped kitchens, fireplaces, hot tubs, game rooms, home theater rooms, and more.

4. Campgrounds

For those teams who love to camp out under the stars, there are several wonderful campgrounds in the Gatlinburg area. These campgrounds feature traditional tent sites and may also offer RV sites, camping cabins, and other lodging options on their grounds. After the big game, your team can look forward to going back to the campground for a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, a cookout on the grill, and an evening of roasting s’mores by the campfire.
