The most-visited park in the country, and the hardest canopy we deal with.
The Smokies took more than 11.5 million visits last year, more than any other national park, and coverage inside the park is thin to nonexistent once you leave 441. Cades Cove, Cataloochee, and most of the campgrounds have nothing.
It is also a park where a lot of people are working remotely from a cabin for a week, which is exactly the case a dish solves, provided you understand the trees.
Sky and obstruction
This is the worst obstruction case of any destination on this list, and it is worth saying plainly. The Smokies are old-growth-adjacent Eastern hardwood and hemlock, tall, broad-crowned, and dense, and in leaf-on season a site under canopy can be substantially blocked. Cades Cove and the open balds are easy. A tucked-in forest campsite may not work at all without moving the dish to a clearing, a field edge, or a parking area. If you are booking a cabin, a dish on the deck or in the yard beats one under the trees every time.
The sign-in page shows what the dish sees in real time, so you can reposition it before a meeting or call.
