Enjoy your rally in Sedona. If you are seriously thinking about a fall trip to the smokies, start planning now.

October is by far the busiest month in that area. Hotels, RV parks, restaurants all go up considerably for the season. Traditionally, the third week in October is peak time for fall foliage color in the park. Over the past several years, warmer weather has been lasting later in the fall and actually early November tends to be peak season. The week of Thanksgiving also tends to be extremely crowded. There's a rather small window of time in early November that it's not so crowded. You would be hard pressed to find a site anywhere around the area in October if you started to book today.

There are a couple more parks I've been meaning to check out; Honeysuckle Meadows, and Up the Creek. They are both in the Wears Valley area of Pigeon Forge, off the beaten path but easily accessible. Both of these parks are known to have very large sites. Up the Creek has a little different approach and doesn't have a bath house or laundry so it lends to larger RVs, and their rates are reasonable.

If you are planning a fall trip; I would highly recommend making reservations soon. Some of the parks will schedule a year out, others are 6 months.
