I really like Deep Creek Horse Camp in Bryson City NC. www.deepcreekhorsecamp.com. I have friends who have stayed at Orchard Cove in Townsend TN and they really liked it. www.orchardcovestables.com

Thanks for the info I will check those out, I was in the area last week and rode horses in severeville at waldens creek stables but would love to take my own, I checked out a place inside the park on the NC. side but looked like rental horses I also heard that you can ride your own horses in Cades Cove.

The Big Creek campground, located at the state line (NC and Tenn) on I40, Waterville exit is a nice camp. No electric but a nice bath house and it's right in the Smokies. Operated by the national Park. Sorry, I don't have phone #. Great Mtn riding from there.

I second Deep Creek. You can ride to the Cade's Cove area from Orchard Cove but you will see more if you also trailer over that way for the day. It's a 15 minute drive but worth it. You will love either area. They were hit pretty hard by the storms though.
