Beautiful, large campsites. Secluded in a deep forest with pretty stream at the back of some of the sites. Clean and well maintained.

Still my favorite campground in GSMNP. Camp host this 2 weeks of camping was outstanding. Plan your visit and bring everything you will need for the duration of your stay, otherwise a trip to civilization will be needed. As always in the Park's campgrounds, know what poison ivy looks like.

Cataloochee may be the most beautiful place in the southeast; remote, quiet & beautiful!

No store at campground so need to buy your firewood beforehand. There are no stores within 30 minutes so plan ahead.

We stayed in Spot 5, next to the creek. It was clean and spacious. The bath house is nearby and it was also very clean. We enjoyed seeing the elk. Several walked through the campground. We had a toddler with us and she enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend!
