This camp site had lots of space for my family of 5. We set up two tents on the tent pad, chairs, etc. and we were still had lots of room. The sites in this loop were VERY close together, so no privacy. It is directly across from the maintenance buildings. I noticed some noise, and there was frequent traffic in and out, but overall it was not bothersome. Easy access to the bathrooms, ranger station, and camp store. The bathrooms were clean. There was no hand soap available, which I found odd. Full sun late morning - mid day but there was some shade available. Overall a great experience. We plan to camp here again. Bonus: This site had spotty cell service. We were able to get text messages out, and many people came and stood near our site to make cellphone calls.

Only a portion of the campground was open. It was full. I could not reserve two nights in a row. I never saw the office open. But as always a wonderful place to stay.

Exactly as described. Sites are close but people were polite and respectful.

Bring hand soap its not provided in restroom. We had a great time in cades cove watching the wildlife and exploring the homesteads. Was a great weekend trip for a girls camping trip.

Super clean campgroundpeople follow the anti-bear restrictions. Fellow campers were quiet. All rangers I spoke to added to my experience.

Beautiful location, perfect home-base for a stay in the mountains! OUr site C06 was a great size, and a short walk to the restroom. Will definitely stay again!

Amaizing place to be away and hike.
The ranges make a excelent job during the winterstorn.

Great campground. Large sites, giving more privacy than most campgrounds. Friendly staff. Lots of wildlife.

Everyone was friendly....from the volunteers helping to facilitate bike Wednesday to the ranger on the loop managing the crowd around a tree with 4 bears, to the people at check-in.....all were great! I discovered that the
Cades Cove Store is run by a separate organization. I think $4.50 ice cream cones, $1.09 postcards, and $9.80 for a bundle of heat treated firewood is a bit much....but it's not stuff that I had to purchase.
I had a wonderful trip!
