Cell tower right up the hill from the camp site. I have Sprint and have 4 bars at the camp site. Once you leave it depends on which mountian your on top of or which way the valley is running.

Last year my cell had great reception at the campsite.
I have enough minutes that, within reason, I'll loan my phone to anyone who doesn't have coverage.

The tower you can see from the campground is a Cingular tower. Of course they network with all other major carriers, so there's no problem.
The funny thing, though, is that there is a peculiar filter on that tower that blocks out all business calls....  |

 Don't say I asked this, but, do they block out Mrs. calls too?

My advice -- tell your your wife that your cell phone may very not work way up there in Shady Valley, TN. Tell her that you will call her if you get a signal, but you will probably be so far out in the woods that you will not have any signal if she wants to check in with you.  |

All the cells I have been in have been covered. You shouldn't worry about such minor things....
