In June 2018 my wife and I and our daughter and her husband and their baby rented a house in Pigeon Forge for a week. One of those days we went to Dollywood. I don't recall any issues that week with the heat. The only day that it was crowded was the traffic on the Sunday afternoon that we arrived in Gatlinburg.

I was thinking midweek, hoping it would be less crowded.

Just be careful where you get a beer at. You might see someone that you know.

Wife and her daughter took grandkids to that area late March.

Every picture was filled with a mass of tourists.

June would be the same but hot and humid.

No fuckin' way.

We went in March….no one was thereIt will depend on what your “crowd level” is at.

If you are used to Disney it will seem a ghost town.

If you are the type that doesn’t go to parks or anywhere other people are it can seemed packed.

The crowds can be epic.  They used to sell season passes really cheap and sometimes it was like all of Knoxville was there.  Other times it wasn't bad.  It wasn't always predictable.

ETA. I haven't been there since covid, so...

My wife and I went to Gatlinburg TN in the fall of 2010. Late October, no crowds, cooler temps. Leaves were just starting to turn, brilliant colors. Saw all the local sights and then went  to "Dolly Wood" in TN. Great shows and visited Smokey Mountain Knife Works for a knife to take home. All in all, an excellent trip.
