Quite spot within short drive from trailheads. Running water but no soap or hand sanitizer.

We enjoyed camping next to the water. The sound helped us sleep!

The rangers were super! The log bridge and trail on the other side of the creek were an amazing surprise to see. Warning though the bathrooms are super dark at night if you're not expecting that.

The campground was fabulous! My only complaint is that the campground was listed as "full" resulting in us having to split our reservation between two sites.....when in reality it was largely EMPTY! I understand it is not the fault of the staff at the GSMNP but a better system needs to be implemented that penalizes individuals who do not cancel their reservation if they are not going to come. Just losing $25 a night is not a big deal to many folks who book months in advance (especially during peak season) but then decide not to come. It is not just 3 or 4 people....it's an entire campground left mostly empty!

I don't like campgrounds generally because there are always too many rude people, barking dogs, crying kids, etc. This campground was nicely situated next to the beautiful river. Overall it was a nice experience.

Nice little campground. Great access to the part. No showers, but otherwise very pleasant stay. Nice walking trails nearby.
Major Issues
@MeganM632 · Camped on Sep 4, 2021 at Campsite #C4
Very clean and well kept. Good location near the main road thru the park and close to visitor center and nearby town. More expensive than other campsites within the same park, and each site was smaller than campsites at other campgrounds, but still not bad for the price. Biggest downside was no showers, but there are still toilets and clean running water.

The campground was overall excellent, however the campsites here are notably less spaced out than other NPS and state park campgrounds that I've visited and it felt like I was almost on top of my neighbors. If you are going to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge I highly advise to follow @SmokiesRoadsNPS on Twitter so you are notified if they close / plan to close US 441 (the road that you can take to get to this campground) because otherwise you are in for a 2+ hour detour and have to enter through the Cherokee, NC entrance which we had to do- our neighboring campsite also got stuck on the other side and ended up having to stay in a hotel instead of taking the very long detour. If you drive towards Gatlinburg on 441 you can get cell service on some of the mountain pull-offs- you won't have any in the campground at all. I liked that they had an AED and Emergency phone on the main office at the front of the campground however I wish they had an emergency phone and AED at the bathroom for each loop because if you're not in the front loop and need it you'll have a long way to go in an emergency.
