Anthony Creek has access to several trails. The stalls are narrow and the horses stand on concrete. I have seen several horses who would not go in them and were difficult to get out. The road comes through the picnic area and is narrow and crowded during the busy season. Turning a trailer longer than 24 feet (3 horse slant) will be difficult. Water has to be carried from the creek about 100 yards away. Staff is great and bathrooms are clean.

There is not enough room to turn a full-length trailer around even staying within the 24ft limit. If there were 2 other campers set up when I arrived, it would have been almost impossible to turn around. Good otherwise. Book all three sites and take your buddies. That will allow you to get positioned safely.

We have stayed at Anthony Creek horse camp several times and have always had a good experience. There are usually not many people at the campsite. There are several trails you can ride from camp and hikers occasionally pass through. The only 2 negative things about the camp are the fact you have to drive through the picnic area, which is usually crowded and difficult to get your rig through, and you have to carry water a short distance to camp from the creek for your horses. We see wildlife often, and make sure food is put away because bears frequent the area. We had a bear vist one night we were there.

You must check in at visitor center upon arrival. At other horse camps in GSMNP you simply fill out a card and put it on the board at the camp, which you have to do here also. The horse camp is reached by driving through the picnic area and turning through the gate at the upper end. The road is in good shape, but one lane for about 1/4 mile to camp. Trailers longer than a 3 horse slant with be difficult to turn in the camp. The stream that goes right by the camp was dried up this fall, but water for horses can be gotten from Anthony Creek about 100 yards above or below the camp. The camp has vault toilet, and 4 metal stalls at each camp. The trail goes right through camp and hikers pass frequently. The camp is very nice and only has 3 camp spots. Several trails can be ridden from the camp.

Anthony Creek is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. We usually see as much wildlife in camp as we do on the trails.
