Camping at Portal campgrounds is definitely the way to go if you like camping at all! The temperature in the evenings is awesome and the facilities at Portal Campgrounds are excellent. You can stay at portal for 5 nights at about the same price you pay for one night at the Super 8. They give ZuZoo attendees a 10% discount too which is a nice little bonus.
I've camped several times in Tellico and the one week that I camped at Portal was definitely more enjoyable than any of my Tellico trips! I highly recommend camping there... I'd be there again this year of it were possible.
If you plan on camping, be sure to make reservations... Here is Portal's site: PORTAL
