What Guests Are Saying
The Greenbrier Picnic Pavilion is a spacious and well-maintained facility located near popular trails, making it an ideal spot for gatherings. While the lack of cell service and the stack toilets may be drawbacks for some, they are generally well-kept. Parking can be an issue during busy times, but the pavilion's accommodating nature and scenic surroundings make it a great choice for picnics.

- A valid parking tag is required for any vehicle parking for more than 15 minutes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Having a picnic pavilion reservation does not exempt you from the parking tag requirement.
- Over the last 10 years, an average of 339 negative human-bear encounters have been reported each year; many more go unreported. Visitors should be aware that high bear activity can occur in any area, and that your safety is not guaranteed.

Stay alert and be prepared to react appropriately during possible encounters, and always report any unusual bear interactions as soon as possible.

All food and equipment used to prepare and store food must be kept in a sealed vehicle or camping unit of solid, non-pliable material AT ALL TIMES when not in use.
