For many RVers, December isn’t about squeezing in a quick getaway — it’s about finding a comfortable place to slow down, stay awhile, and experience a destination beyond the typical tourist rush.
Great Smoky Mountain Vista Campground
offers an ideal setting for longer-term RV stays, combining access to the Smoky Mountains with a relaxed campground atmosphere that feels more like home than a stopover.
A Great Basecamp for Extended Stays
One of the biggest advantages of a longer stay is the ability to explore the area without feeling rushed. Located near the Smoky Mountains, Great Smoky Mountain Vista Campground allows long-term guests to enjoy scenic drives, nearby towns, and outdoor spaces at a comfortable pace.

Why December Works Well for Long-Term RVers
December offers a unique balance for extended RV stays. The area is less crowded, services are readily available, and the pace of life slows down — making it easier to settle in and enjoy day-to-day routines.
For RVers working remotely, traveling full-time, or simply taking a seasonal pause, December is an ideal month to establish a temporary home base.
A Community Feel Without the Crowds
Long-term guests often value a campground where neighbors are friendly but not overwhelming. December brings a relaxed mix of fellow RVers who are also staying longer, creating a low-key sense of community.
It’s a great environment for those who enjoy a peaceful campground with room to breathe.
