DOUBLETREE HOTEL is where we usually stay , luckily we called in time to get a cabin , but this place is only minutes from the park , (865)481-2468
x2, but its actually in oak ridge about 10 miles from the park the best i remember
but call ahead and make sure there aint no damn rowing regatta going on, there are several places to stay in oak ridge so last year i had the idea to wait till i get there to get a room and low and behold there wasnt a room in the whole freaking town, there was however a BOAT load of tour buses
you can go to google maps

Hotels near Oak Ridge, TN
that will get you phone numbers and addressesfor most if not all the hotel/motels, but i have been warned to stay away from the super 8, its actually the closesest motel but i was told they have problems with stuff being stolen, also in oliver springs there is a bed and breakfast called "windmill inn bed & breakfast" about a mile from the turnoff for the park and is where i ended up staying last year and it was clean and run by nice folks and the breakfast was good to, the building is actually and old church house so its not hard to miss
