The outlet is provided for your use with the thought for device charging and namely, a phone for the next days journey.

A note from the originators of Canopy Ridge, Bryan and Christy:
We wanted your glamping experience to be the best of both worlds.  We have disturbed nature as little as possible while pitching canvas tents upon a wooden platform covered with beautiful hardwood floors. The less we disturb nature, the better you can experience this pristine Smoky Mountain forest.  We imagined a backcountry campsite coupled with the most robust canvas tent and the most relaxing pillowtop mattress, something not ordinarily feasible. The trails have been cut by hand and materials brought in on our backs. No heavy machinery as that would leave too large a footprint.  The forest imposed its will on us, not the other way around. We are not an RV campground that decided to throw up a few tents side by side and outfit like a condo.  We have not crammed so many tents into a field as to resemble a civil war camp.  We have created a space for our guests to come, disconnect, and immerse themselves in nature while not sacrificing basic modern comforts.

Yes, the 2 full private bathrooms are shared and located in the bathhouse.  We believe toilets in tents are not glamorous and take away from the experience. Tents 2 & 4  have private outdoor showers at the tent site with showers coming to tents 1 & 4 during the 2022 glamping season. We will update the site when they are ready for your use.

The National Park, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge are all about 10 miles via scenic, mostly uncrowded drives. The timing to enter the National Park will vary depending on your route and entrance point. You can enter the park near Gatlingburg (20-30 minutes) or you can take a scenic route through Wears Valley which will offer you 2 options to enter the NP. Entering near Metcalf Bottoms picnic area (40-50 minutes) is a beautiful place to spend some time and the kids (us adults are just big kids, right!) can cool off in the river or, you can take Wears Valley Rd. across to Townsend (50-60 minutes) and follow the signs to the park. If Cades Cove is your destination, the entrance is near Townsend and is a favorite of the NP visitors.

Most guests find the summer temps under the forest canopy to be ideal sleeping temps. The summer days can be hot, but most guests tend to be out exploring during the heat of day. The tents are not in direct sunlight and sit along a ridge line which helps keep temps quite a bit cooler than in town.

You may cook over the fire at the tent with the tripod provided, or at the propane grills in the lounge.  We ask that food not be stored at the sites to avoid the greater possibility of a bear encounter. Coolers are not adequate to keep the aroma of food away from the bear, so even coolers should be in your vehicles over night.
