We’ve got BIG news from our little corner of the Smokies.
Little Arrow Outdoor Resort has officially been named the #3 Best Glamping Spot in the U.S. in the 2025 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards! Even better? We’re the only Tennessee glamping destination to make this year’s top 10 list. It’s a huge honor and a testament to the unique experience we work hard to create for every guest who stays with us.
But this isn’t our first time in the spotlight.
Little Arrow has been a longtime honoree of the USA TODAY Readers’ Choice Awards. We took home the title of “Best Glamping” in 2020, and we’re proud to be recognized once again in 2025. This year, we also placed #6 in the “Best RV Campground” category, making us a top choice for both luxury glamping and RV camping in the Smokies.
Whether you’ve stayed in one of our luxury tents, tiny homes, or cabins, you know glamping at Little Arrow goes beyond just a place to sleep. It’s about waking up to mountain views, sipping your coffee by the river, and spending your evenings under a canopy of stars.
Recognized by USA Today
This recognition came as part of the annual USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, where travelers from across the country vote on their favorite vacation destinations. Little Arrow was spotlighted among the best glamping spots in the nation.
Knox News highlighted the results and spotlights Little Arrow as a peaceful, elevated glamping experience that sets us apart from the crowd. As the quieter alternative to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, tucked away in Townsend, Tennessee, Little Arrow offers access to America’s most-visited national park and epic views.
