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

We had such a blast at this campground! It's gorgeous- and the park rangers were so friendly. We loved this campsite the most out of any of the Smoky Mountains campsites we tried.

Great campsite, all areas would be great to stay...best thing is the cleanliness of the camp area.

We had a great time. The only complaint I have is that there was no one to help us check in and we were unable to reserve the campsite the same day we arrived. Better posted instructions would be helpful!

Camping at Deep Creek the last week of August was incredible! Deep Creek and nearby Bryson City are much quieter than Gatlinburg on the north side of the park. Camping the last week of August meant we were only one of two occupied campsites along the creek - everyone else must be headed back to school already. At a peak time, the campsite would be quite dense with tent pads only a few feet away from the picnic table and fire pit of the next site over. During a quiet week, it was a fantastic place to camp only yards away from the river and with easy access to the waterfall hikes and tubing.

Beautiful campsite near the creek. Facilities were good. Best parts of our stay was the beautiful, kid-friendly hike at the back of the campsite and tubing in the creek (rental options right outside campground).
