GATLINBURG (AP) – Spring is almost here, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is opening up its grounds for campers, horseback riders and mountain bikers.
Beginning Friday, the park service will begin opening up a majority of its campgrounds and secondary roads for spring visitors. Half of the 10 campgrounds in Tennessee and North Carolina can be reserved online.
The Smoky Mountain Riding Stable opened up on March 4. A number of other riding horseback stables and camps will open in the weeks ahead.
Visitors can go to www.recreation.gov to reserve campgrounds, all group campsites, horse camps and picnic shelters.
Concession stores offering firewood, camping supplies, food and bike rentals will also open up on a staggered basis.
