Campsite was clean, quiet, nice location with trees and a little hilly (not flat). Sites were level. Showers, laundry. Lovely covered picnic area with fire pit and chimney.

The sound of the river at night was great!

Beautiful location and bathrooms were kept clean, neighbors werent too close or too noisy. Park staff were friendly and helpful. It is ridiculous that registered campers also have to pay the $5 per day parking fee anywhere outside the campground.

Loved the trails and the creek. The swimming hole by the bridge when you drive in is perfect for a rinse of since no showers here. And the stables an awesome experience for our kids. Great trail ride and wagon ride. Wed love to go back!

Great campground very close to trout fishing in Cherokee
@JessicaF618863 · Camped on Oct 17, 2022 at Campsite #B36
This campsite was nice. Its however right next to the bathroom, so there was people walking back and forth a lot, but it was fairly quiet.

Overall, my experience and my fellow campers had an excellent experience camping at Smokemont Campground. And that comment goes back 6 decades for all of my visits to the GSMNP. About the only bad experience is the leaf-blowing in the campgrounds. Seems unnecessary. First of all, it's one of the sounds most all of us campers are trying to get away from. I do not think any of us campers need such a tidy campground. In fact, we would rather see leaves on the ground than pavement. It wouldn't be so bad if it just went on for 5 minutes but seems like it goes on for over and hour. Maybe it is a safety issue ? Maybe to come into the modern world and go electric. Low rpm's. Much quieter.

Smokemont was just as we remembered from many years back with the beautiful stone rest areas, streams and rustic feel. Be sure to get up early to see the elk in the fields.

Unfortunately/fortunately we were snowed in at cades cove and could not get to Smokemont because of road closures. I would suggest anyone going to the area during the winter season to have a back up plan just in case 441 between Cherokee and Gatlinburg is closed. Seems to be fairly common during the winter months. You can get road updates on twitter @smokiesroadsNPS. this is about the only way I found to get any road info.

There were a few cars in front of us at check-in so we just went to out spot, set up and then walked over to the counter. Took about 10 seconds to check in with the nice lady. Bathroom was clean and everything was working great. We crossed the bridge and walked the nature trail, got to see some amazing views! Overall had a great time and can't wait to come back!!

Wonderful little campground! It was my first time camping since I was a kid, and really liked it. Beautiful creek that you can hear and fall asleep to. We even splashed around in it a bit, which was a delight!! Sites are close together, but didn't feel like we were on top of our neighbors or anything; plenty of room for privacy. Bathrooms could've been cleaner but hey, you're in nature!

Beautiful campground, nicely shaded, though not a lot of privacy between sites. The nature hike was lovely. Camp staff are very friendly. Short drive to Clingman's Dome.

This campground was pretty crowded, but very quiet. We got a spot by the creek and it was lovely. Bathrooms were clean but no potable water when we were there. The nature trail is short, but it is nice to trek around the creek and up a hill.
