Park staff are awesome

Well maintained NPS location. Creek close by with walking trails and waterfalls. Bryson City is close by with shopping. The railroad and museum must be seen. The campground host made frequent rounds and is very helpful.

Well run campground, bathrooms very clean and stocked. Very helpful hosts and check in. Love the hiking to the waterfalls. And being close to Bryson City is a plus. We will be back

The ranger that assisted me with my van help me out a great deal by telling me I can't plant my fan in the camping area and he assisted me in getting My Van into the RV area even though it's not an RV but his assistance to me a disabled veteran was absolutely marvelous
@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Oct 13, 2025 at Campsite #90
Would like park rules changed to allow dogs on a leash to hike trails to the waterfalls!
@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Oct 12, 2025 at Campsite #56
Volunteers were great. Respectful campers enjoying perfect weather. Campground clean and neat. My favorite in the smokies.

The campsite was very nice. No trash to be found. The tent site was flat and level. The sites were spread out so we didnt feel crowded. The fire pit and picnic table were acceptable. The restroom was clean and well stocked with tissue. My only complaint was the amount of parking. The lot was full and nowhere to park convenient to the tent site. I finally got a space closer but was afraid to leave knowing that space was going to be gone when I returned. Cars were constantly driving by looking for parking spaces.
@DavidH4978786 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #31
Great site and Bryson City was very much worth checking out! Would stay again.
@KarenA3113834 · Camped on Oct 10, 2025 at Campsite #26
It is well kept and run with nice bathrooms and a beautiful creek running by. Hiking trails are great. However, if it is full (and it was) the tent sites that are "walk to" are super close together. We could hear snoring in the next tent over. And no one was enforcing quiet hours after 10 but that may have been due to the shut down.
@CathyE8B794C8B · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #54
Great location , close to town if needed .. yet the sites were designed to feel remote and you had privacy.. would definitely stay again
@KurtS1880482 · Camped on Oct 6, 2025 at Campsite #37
Great site by the river, wonderful hikes.
@KimG7907993 · Camped on Oct 4, 2025 at Campsite #69
As other reviewers share it took a little bit to get our class c level but so worth it. Beautiful site, grounds and many wonderful hikes!
@WayneT2715482 · Camped on Oct 3, 2025 at Campsite #56
Not my favorite campsite the smokes, but everything was as expected. Too close to civilization and Bryson city.
@LisaB5569950 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #47
Its a beautiful campground. It was quiet. Well kept facilities. The site I was on with number 47. It was kind of sloped. I did not like that too much but other than that it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend.
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #56
This is a nice, forested, campground. It is on a hillside so the RV sites farther from the creek are not as level as those closer to the creek.
@LaurenR3836852 · Camped on Sep 26, 2025 at Campsite #35
Campsite was decent and the creek was so beautiful. Bathrooms were pretty sparse but DID have TP stocked. Check-in process was simple. Road noise was at a minimum and camp was not overly crowded - the campers nearby were friendly and kind. Overall a great experience. Would not come back at this exact time of year and would wait til a little cooler due to so many knats being close to the water.
@TimothyM325903 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #34
CAMPSITE WAS VERY CLEAN AND PEACEFUL.
@NicholeW667449 · Camped on Sep 21, 2025 at Campsite #69
The campsites are closer than they appear when you are looking at the map and we were practically sharing a site with another family. The campsite hosts were accommodating and let us switch to another site that was more private and we had a great long weekend. Will absolutely go again but take into consideration what site I book.
@RichardE734484 · Camped on Sep 20, 2025 at Campsite #1
Nancy Furlow, the host at this beautiful site is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. She is a real asset to the National Park system!
@NathanB8721791 · Camped on Sep 18, 2025 at Campsite #22
Other than showers, this campground has everything you could need, and it's nice and quiet.
@AlainaG3DD0CD1 · Camped on Sep 13, 2025 at Campsite #88
Great location with proximity to good hiking trails and the town of Bryson City!
@simonc2711C127 · Camped on Sep 12, 2025 at Campsite #15
Straight shot down the road to all the campsites makes it easy to navigate. Right next to the creek and the bathroom. Nice peaceful area. Very shaded.The parking area to site is a very slight walk, so no issues at all.
@RickN6933546 · Camped on Sep 9, 2025 at Campsite #19
Beautiful location and nice views of the falls within easy walking distance- Little interaction with the staff (didn't seem to want to be helpful..."Maps are over there" get them yourself.)- Bathrooms were clean but soap dispensers would be nice as they have at other NP- Trails were clean and fairly well maintained...more trails for biking would be great- Registration process was easy

Nancy Furlow, the host, is very helpful and friendly. She is a great asset of the park.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
