Camp sites were too close to each other and the attendents were overbearing.

As always smokemont is the best overall campground ever. Ive been staying here since I was very young with my parents. I have continued that yearly trip with my kids in summer and fall. Smokemont never falls to give you so much peace from the front rangers office, campsite, bathrooms, trails and stream you can never have a bad time here. I cant say enough good things about all the staff.

Major Issues
@BradleyT48C9C1 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #B17
The bathrooms were not as clean as they usually are. They had a foul odor for the four days we were there. A "light study" was being conducted in the nearest bathroom, and there were no lights. I don't know what this "study" was about, but it was a real inconvenience.

Beautiful tree canopy kept us shaded all day and the nearby river lulled us to sleep.

Grounds are well kept and appropriately monitored. The fire rings with cooking grills were great

I always like Smokemont. Plenty of space, easy hike up Bradley fork, and good fly fishing

Great campground but wish more loops were open. Unfortunate that only A and B loops available after October 31st. Hiking in Cataloochee so needed to still drive 1 1/2 hours to get to trail head. Seems like with a increase in people camping and hiking that more campgrounds could remain open.

Well-designed campground with superb access to the Benton-McKaye trail. Parking for both campground guests and backpackers is ample...and probably some of the safest ā€œtrailhead parkingā€ I’ve come across. Be warned, there is no cell service in the campground, but you can get it in nearby Cherokee. Also, access to the park from Maggie Valley is via a winding road...and I experienced about a 30 minute delay due to an earlier car accident that forced the road closed. Overall, the campground is superb with a very active NPS team ensuring cleanliness. I will be back!

Great place to camp in the smokies. There is a grey water wash station for pots and pans for tent campers which is nice.

We don't understand with only 2 campgrounds open during the "off season" why at least C section not be open for self contained RVs without the need for a bath house. It would increase revenue without an additional expense.

The campground is well kept and very clean. The ranger was very friendly and helpful. I saw maintenance crews often cleaning, mowing, etc. The sites are spacious and comfortable.
