Beautiful place, friendly and helpful staff, great hiking and fishing from the campground and close to town if you forget anything.

All around good experience - friendly camp host (Tom), clean bathrooms, flat tenting sites, great location near a stream, picnic table and fire ring at site, quiet hours (10 pm to 6 am), firewood ($8), and easy access to Benton MacKaye and other hiking trails.

Wonderful campground and campsite by the river in a gorgeous setting in the Park. Highly recommend! Thank you for helping to make this one of our national treasures and preserving it.

Stayed in #4 in A loop, right across from the creek. Nice to fall asleep to but you have to almost yell at people with you, lol. Sites are very close together, I expect the busy season to be very loud. Clean sites and bathrooms. Beautiful location. No cell service. If you need it, go back to the welcome center.Would stay again but only in the off season.

Smokemont is a beautiful campground with tall trees and a gorgeous stream running along the entire campground. You could stay at Smokemont and keep yourself busy for many days without any travel. We will likely be back

Enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving. Quiet and beautiful

Even with below freezing temperatures we had a fabulous time! Having water and the restroom open, we did just fine!
@ChrisH593 · Camped on Nov 1, 2021 at Campsite #A5
Excellent campground, beautiful trout streams and hiking trails nearby. The bathrooms were clean and orderly. If there wasn’t any generator noise from the large RV 2 campsites from ours I would give 4 stars. The park rangers and campground personnel are very friendly and accommodating.

Beautiful campground along a babbling river. Very friendly campers. Wonderful trails.

A5 is a great spot - quiet but can still hear the water from the site at night.

Best campground I’ve been too
