Welcome to Buddy Bear in the Smokies!

Located just 20 minutes off of I-40, Buddy Bear in the Smokies (formerly Duvall in the Smokies) is the premier family RV campground in Sevierville, Tennessee.

Not only does our enclosed resort-style campground include everything your family could want to enjoy your Smoky Mountains vacation, but we’re located just a short drive from Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Location, location, location!

Buddy Bear in the Smokies is nestled in the foothills of the beautiful Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, TN.
We’re located at 1518 Dolly Parton Parkway at the intersection with Hwy 416. Our entrance is adjacent to a nice 24-hour Weigel’s gas station with gas and diesel available.
Our excellent location gives you direct access to Gatlinburg via Hwy 416, Pigeon Forge via Hwy 411S, and I-40 or Bush’s Visitor Center via Hwy 411N. We are conveniently located to these wonderful businesses.
The mountain river at the edge of our property provides 650 feet of riverfront campsites. The locals say there’s good fishing!
We have plenty of room for pets, but please be considerate to your fellow campers and keep your pet on a leash.
