Paintball in Knoxville, TN

ennessee Mountain Paintball sits on Happy Hollow Lane in Sevierville, Tennessee, tucked into the Smoky Mountain vacation corridor between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and about a 30-minute drive from Knoxville.

The park built its reputation on low-impact “Little Or No Pain Paintball,” using gentler 0.50-caliber balls that make the sport approachable for families and first-timers, while still offering standard paintball for experienced players. Its 20-acre grounds feature themed fields including a Western City course with NFL-grade turf, a Vietnam Village, log cabins, two-story towers, tunnels, bridges, and a 60-foot multilevel base. Laser tag, kids’ soft paintball, and hydroball round out the lineup for younger visitors.

The on-site pro shop stocks rental gear, high-quality markers, and disposable jumpsuits, and field paint is sold at the park. Reviews consistently highlight the friendly, patient staff and referees who lead multiple games throughout the day. With a lounge area for resting between rounds, the park suits birthday parties, bachelor parties, corporate outings, and family reunions, and it’s open seven days a week by reservation.

Smoky Mountain Paintball sits on nearly 20 acres of rolling hills at the foot of the Smoky Mountains in Seymour, Tennessee, a short drive from Knoxville, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg, and has been serving the East Tennessee area since 1994.

The facility offers four distinct fields, from large wooded courses to a hybrid speedball field, along with low-impact paintball and SPLATMASTER guns for younger players. Rental packages include gun, mask, paintballs, and CO2, and the pro shop carries coveralls, jackets, chest protectors, and other gear. The staff runs a variety of game types, from capture the flag to defend-the-fort scenarios, and keeps all markers below 280 feet per second.

The club hosts birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, church groups, corporate team building, fraternity and sorority outings, and military and police groups, accommodating parties as large as 100 players. Picnic tables sit outside the field netting for spectators, and private weekday reservations are available for special events.
