The camp was quiet and clean. Amenities worked properly. A great place to stop at Smokies

Perfectly located close to the entrance from Cherokee,NC. A quiet beautiful campground.

Beautiful site near the river. Excellent historical sites to tour at the visitors center. The town of Cherokee has lots of shops and dont miss the museum. Then there are all the amazing views of the Smokey mountains.
Good

Pretty positive I did not reserve the site I was assigned. Sat on the office phone for 20min just after 5o clock, trying to get ahold of someone to check n see if it was ok to move. There were 5 sites occupied in the park and 3 of em were all next to each other. Thought that was pretty lame not to spread people out when the place was empty. We left. Ate the fee, and went back to Nantahala NF to camp dispersed.

Smokemont is close to Cherokee (about 5 miles). It is on a beautiful creek and there is trailhead access. Nice bathrooms and informative staff.

Very large campground, but it's spread out and forested enough that it was still quiet on Halloween weekend, in peak season. Perhaps we were lucky, but the large fields nearby also seemed to be favorites of the elk, because we saw several small groups of them in the short time we were there.

Nice place with well maintained restrooms. As in most national parks, no showers. Stayed in site B35 with a 22 ft trailer. Was not a good fit for any trailer due to the tree in the driveway corner. Had to pull out onto the grass on the other side and back in again to get out. Truck would not fit on pavement at site so parked in the "overflow" area a couple of site down the road. Sites in the D loop are MUCH better for trailers unless the trailer is very small as in teardrop units. B loop is much more conducive to tents. Nice tables and fire rings.

This campground was very nice and quiet. We camped at B035 and the stream across the street provided a soothing backdrop that lulled us to sleep at night. Being so close to Newfound Gap Road, the campground was more full and didn't feel as secluded at others I've stayed at within the park, but I would still recommend it. This site is right next to the bathroom, which I didn't realize upon booking. I was worried about noise, especially at night, but we didn't experience any. The light from the bathroom was the only inconvenience to staying in a tent. We were lucky enough to have elk walk along the stream just across the street one morning! Also there were many butterflies about and flowers blooming in late April.

Check-in was easy and informative. The ranger had lots of helpful information and was very knowledgeable. The site was just right for my truck and small camper. There were hiking trails right at the campground, and I saw an elk!

Second time there. Great experience. Clean bathrooms, clean campsites, excellent view. Definitely going back there again.Not a complaint, but something everyone should know if they are camping here - for T-Mobile users, zero cellphone reception.

The walking trails are great! The water is fantastic! Love the horse stables. The bathrooms are terrible. Since tents are not recommended due to bear encounters the no generator section restrictions should be lifted. I wish the campsite were a little more private. But overall we love Smokemont.

We loved the campground. Only wish there was a little more enforcement of unleashed dogs. One rushed up to me quite aggressively as I was trying to enter the bathroom. When we reported this to the ranger, she was very responsive.
Some Coverage

Beautiful location across from river. Sites fairly open to each other. Check in smooth. Bathrooms very clean. Only downside was generator usage by a RV that continued during quiet hours - cycled on and off throughout the night.

Beautiful campground with a great 30 min hike. Beautiful river right behind my campsite. Restrooms were clean and stocked as well.

Campground is awesome.No showers, but facilities are very well kept.I love that is closed to the Smokie Mountains entrance, and next to a river. I will DEFINITELY be back soon. Cellphone signal is zero (T-Mobile) at campground, but a short drive (10-15 mins) to a spot in Cherokee gave me a great signal to do my thing.

The campsite was great we decided to use the campsite near the rr since I get up a lot at night to use the RR, and I am glad we did. we got campsite b035. beautiful location close to the small creek and close to the RR :) there are no showers at this location so we just rode it our for 2 days. It was a fun experience, would definitely recommend!

The staff were all professional and very helpful. The campground is beautiful, well maintained, comfortable, and peaceful. We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation experience there.

It’s quiet and yet there is so much to do! Hiking trails all around, we had a crick right in front of our campsite! The chapel is to die for! And we got to see ELK every single morning and night simply by leaving camp and heading to the visitor center! There is also a cute little waterfall on the side of the road heading towards gatlinburg only 1/4 to 1/2 a mile away from camp on the left! We filled all our water bottles up multiple times… sooo good! Can’t wait to book our next trip!

Really beautiful campground with clean facilities. The nature trail across the creek was very sweet for the kids and they just loved to play in the water. We had a blast!

We love staying at Smokemount Campground. It’s nice and peaceful by the river and nice trails.
