    that's why he was asking where one is at....

    as Gambit says----the campground outside of the Park will let people pay for a shower without staying at their campground....

    I have taken a shower at the place, once leaving cosby going back to 321, that's on the left side of the road...

    i cant remember what it's name was but for 5 bucks i got a shower.....

    also----truck stops have pay showers as well....

    i know theres a pilot truck stop off of I40 at Dandridge......not sure if there is one over on the newport side....but a google search could be done to see that..

    it's just a matter of how long you wanna wait for a shower.......if you want it right away, try the campground..

    if you can wait about a half hour----a truck stop would work....

    and fwiw---the campground shower, is like a bathhouse but shower is private....the sink area is not private other than a men's side and a women's side..

    truck stops generally are all private......there's a sink and a toilet and the shower all in one room..

    It's one hour from the campgrounds to Hot Springs NC. Spend some quality time soaking together in the hot spring-fed tubs. Now, isn't that better than public showers?
