Very beautiful site right on the water. Close to trails as well. No firewood on site please remember to grab some in Maryville on the way, otherwise it's not a quick turnaround!

It was quiet and peaceful, we got to see a river otter during our stay. Loved being able to fish and go hiking.

Great location, very remote and peaceful. We stayed in campsite 8 right by the river. There are bathrooms, a sink to wash dishes, and garbage bins. Bring your own supplies firewood, food etc. It's a long way back to town to purchase any items as there are no stores nearby. You can pick up branches and wood on the trails, but you don't want to rely on that especially if it's raining. There is a grate on the fire pit for cooking so that was really nice. Only disappointment was that river was extremely low and we only saw one small fish during our stay. We would definitely be back.

Great sites on the creek. Very relaxing! Bathrooms could be better lit and attempt to keep the big bugs out of the bathroom.

Unless there's a large group, this campground is soooo quiet and peaceful. Bigger groups seem to be loud and rowdy, and the campground echos with their noise. Unfortunately, there were three loud groups at the same time we stayed; but fortunately, they only stayed one night. Otherwise, beautiful setting by the creek (resembles a river because it's very wide and deep in areas), and easy access to several trails. Tubes and floats are fun to use in sections. But please be courteous if someone is on the water before you and they're fishing. Almost everyone on a float seemed to have no clue or common sense to be respectful of those fishing; what gives? pretty frustrating. The 5-mile trek from the campground to Abrams Falls is moderate to strenuous, so be prepared with food and water since you'll be out for many hours. There's no cell service, and no concession area for things like ice or firewood (like Elkmont, etc). Overall, an amazing place to camp compared to the other crowded Smoky Mountain campgrounds.

Great location. Quiet campsites along the water with miles of hiking trails right outside your tent. Flush toilets and potable water are a plus.

We had a great time tent camping at Abram’s Creek! Beautiful fall weather. The facilities were as described. Campsites were level and spaced apart enough that we didn’t feel too close to neighbors. I would stay there again!

A very important note: if you plan on using the convenient trailhead located within the campground to get up to Abram’s Creek Falls, you MUST review the route before going. The fork for Copper Rd Trail and Little Bottoms Trail is poorly marked. If you miss it, you’ll do a 15 mile hike instead of 9 mile hike. I wouldn’t say anything if it was just our mistake but we spoke to a group the next day that had the exact same thing happen to them. The Little Bottoms Trail is much less trafficked than the alternative trail from Cade’s Cove to Abrams Falls which we liked. Definitely recommend just keep the route in mind!
The campground is a great spot on the west side of GSMNP. I highly recommend reserving a spot early so you can get one of the sites located directly on the creek. The restrooms were very adequate and relatively clean BUT no showers. The spigot water was very clean and cool. The last .5-1 mile of the drive is unimproved road and you won’t have service for the last 15-20 mins of the drive so be familiar with the area before getting there.
The fishing is okay at the campground and better just upstream of it. From what I understand, there are rainbow trout around in the cooler months and as it gets warmer, they start to move upstream toward the Falls and Smallmouth bass start to move in around the campground from downstream.

Campground is in a really nice, picturesque place next to Abrams Creek, however; sites are very close together. No privacy at all.

Beautiful camp spot. Tent pad is probably 15 ft from the creek. Great hiking trails right off the campground. Ended up hiking ~7.9 miles, but trails can be longer or shorter depending on your energy level.

The area was beautiful and clean. The first night there a bunch of kids came in about 11:00 that night which completely changed the experience for ALL the campers there. They were loud (unpacking) drinking and proceeded to party until 7:00 the next morning. I dont think anyone got any sleep. Using the phone at the rangers station that morning, we called and rangers were there within 30 minutes. They kids were asked to leave and were indeed gone by the time we return from our hike later that afternoon. Had they not left we would not have stayed or second night. We were glad to see that that situation was handled and our second night there was much more pleasant.
