Got the knock at 2 am and was told to move. No sleeping in your vehicles in Gatlinburg

Stayed behind the Hilton in back left of the parking lot by the parking garage. I did this car camping, would not recommended for rvs/rigs. Got a few weird looks but was not bothered by anyone. Police sometimes do rounds so get there late. Would not recommend staying for more than one night.

Came here at about 22:00. Some pedestrians and cars at that point, but later into the night it was quiet. We weren’t bothered by anyone. Keep in mind, that it can get quite cold! As stated by others white noise from the river is nice.

Did not stay the night as it was too tight for my rig. But absolute largest would be a class b van or truck rig. Even a mini school bus would be pushing it. Real right parking and heavily congested area.

long stretch of free parking. we also stayed the night without issue, few vehicles passing, a garbage truck in the morning and pedestrians as well but not loud.

Spent one night here and wouldn't recommend more than one. No signs expressly prohibiting overnight parking but next to no cars to blend in with, as most people staying in the hotels keep their cars in the parking lots.

Next to the river though so you get that nice white noise. Just a few minutes walk to anywhere in Gatlingburg. And bathrooms available late at Arcadia, which remains open till 2 in the morning.
