Beautiful campground. Although it is big , it was quite. People were respectful. Saw a family of elk

The rangers on duty at the campsite were exceptionally helpful, answering my questions about the campsite and potential hiking trails.

Wonderful, wonderland of a campground, but I might be biased since I used to come here every other year with my Dad when I was in high school and college. Smokemont also seems more peaceful and crowded than Cades Cove or Elkmont.

Beautiful setting, close to a sparkling, clear mountain stream. My second trip staying at Smokemont in three seasons.

There is no sign post at back country Campsite #50; the side trail is small and hard to see from the main trail.

Absolutely beautiful! We booked at 11:30pm, showed up an hour lager. Slept the best we had slept on vacation thus far. Bathrooms were clean and Campground was clean. We also woke up to Elk walking down the street next to our car which was even more awesome.

Thankful this Campground was open when everything else was closed for season.

Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, roomy tent site, and lots of shade. Really enjoyed horseback riding nearby. Would highly recommend.

Outside Water was turned off presumably due to winterization. Very difficult to fill bottles from sink. Not much privacy between sites. Good tent pad. Nice clean bathrooms. Nice nature trail by creek. The best sites beside creek unavailable to tents is a shame.

Beautiful river setting with some light hikes departing from the campground.

Very nice location right on the river. Hot water in the bathroom..really nice in the winter!!!!! Close to the East side visitors and interpretive center. The Elk were pretty cool too.
