Wouldnt stay here. No privacy whatsoever. Wide open space, stacked on top of each other. Doesnt feel like its part of the park. Drive to this campground was the worst.

Wonderful campground. Fellow campers polite, restrooms clean. We come every year and have been for over 40 years

Stayed here the night before a four day hike that started at the trailhead. Nice sites. Nothing like sleeping with the sound of water rushing by.

Nice campsite. Clean bathrooms. Bryson city was also cute.

Our annual visit to Deep Creek was great. The restrooms were spotless this year and the cleaning crews came very early in the mornings which didn't disrupt campers' routines. The hostess, Holly, was a jewel. She is one of the friendliest hosts we've ever encountered in the 45 plus years we've been coming to Deep Creek.Only thing I can think of that bothered me was that there were dogs on the trails and their deposits. The trails are clearly marked, but folks ignore that. The dogs that were in the campground were well behaved and the owners cleaned up after them.There is some price gouging going with tubes and ice from the stores at the entrance to the campground, but I guess nothing can be done about that. I mean, $8 for a bag of ice??? We went further down the road and got it for $3. Same with tubes. All in all, a wonderful time was had by all. Looking forward to next year's trip already.

Nice campground. I tented it and had a nice site next to stream. Wasn't busy at all. Some good hikes close by. This campground is near Bryson City and Cherokee which are nice little towns and not too commercialized like the Gatlinburg area.
