Facility Overview

The Tanger Outlets Sevierville Parking facility is a sprawling, open-air surface parking complex serving one of East Tennessee’s premier retail destinations along the busy tourist corridor of the Great Smoky Mountains. Situated at 1645 Parkway (US-441) in Sevierville, this massive multi-zone parking ground surrounds the outlet village, providing seamless walking access to every sector of the shopping center. Because it is an open-air surface lot with no vertical clearance barriers, overhead height is virtually unlimited across general parking lanes, making it exceptionally hospitable for all vehicle types. Drivers navigating standard passenger cars, lifted 4x4 pickups, full-size SUVs, and commercial passenger vans will find wide driving aisles and standard stalls. Additionally, the property features specialized oversized vehicle accommodations, with designated bus and RV parking bays located toward the rear perimeter behind buildings 900 through 1100 (near Old Navy and Skechers).

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Positioned strategically on the Parkway between downtown Sevierville and Pigeon Forge, this parking facility places shoppers and regional travelers in the epicenter of Sevier County hospitality and entertainment. Visitors parking here enjoy immediate walkability to more than 90 designer and brand-name outlet shops, including Nike, Coach, Columbia, Under Armour, Ralph Lauren, and Kate Spade. Right across the Parkway sits Five Oaks Farm Kitchen and the Adventure Park at Five Oaks, offering zip lines and horseback trail rides. Less than a mile south lies the historic Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store complex, featuring the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant and Apple Valley Creamery. Skyland Ranch, an outdoor mountaintop attraction, is located directly to the north. Furthermore, the facility serves as a convenient gateway for visitors driving minutes onward to major Smoky Mountain landmarks, such as the Titanic Museum Attraction (2 miles south), The Island in Pigeon Forge (4 miles south), Dollywood and Dollywood’s Splash Country (under 7 miles away), and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance in Gatlinburg.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Vehicle ingress and egress are remarkably efficient thanks to multiple access drives connecting directly to US-441 (Parkway) and secondary side roads including Collier Drive. The primary entrance is controlled by synchronized traffic signals, which greatly assist drivers when turning across peak Parkway traffic. For motorists arriving from Knoxville or out of state, the facility is reached directly via Interstate 40 (Exit 407) by proceeding south along Highway 66 (Winfield Dunn Parkway) straight onto the Parkway. Travelers utilizing public transit can take advantage of regional trolley connections, as the local trolley route operates stops along the corridor, granting effortless hop-on, hop-off transit between Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg without needing to re-park during busy afternoon rush periods.
