Our stay was great, as usual. The only issue we had was the state of the restroom in C section. The womens door would not close, plus the cleaning was not up to standard.

The temperature at Caded Codes was cool. Our camp was a bit small for the 10 people and 4 person tents. In addition, two more people with a 6 person tent was expected but did not come; we were concerned about if us fitting on the site. It was comfortable; however, Lots to see and the rivers are beautiful to wade in.

Beautiful campground. Perfect spot to set up shop explore the Cades Cove area. Especially during the car free Wednesday season.

My recent stay in Cades Cove exceeded my expectations! I'd really not researched much about the area prior to my stay. Driving Cades Cove and having the ability to pull over anytime I wanted to take in the beautiful scenery or let some impatient driver pass me - There is really something for everyone in this beautiful area. I would recommend at least four days as the two nights I was there felt too rushed. I also took time and made an afternoon of driving from Cades Cove to Newfound Gap and that was so enjoyable with numerous outlooks and stops along the way. Sadly I wasn't able to do much hiking and being a solo traveler had me a bit apprehensive to venture out on hiking paths solo but I still felt like I was able to see so many beautiful sights.The rangers were all very helpful as well.

Major Issues
@GarrettB362512 · Camped on Jan 1, 2023 at Campsite #C8
Had a great first stay! The campground was clean and peaceful. The one downside was that the only potable water available was from the bathroom sinks. Not a huge inconvenience, just wish I had known ahead of time so I could bring more with me. I didnt see it mentioned on the website that the water was off for the winter, but I may have overlooked it. Regardless, it wasnt a big deal at all. Just call ahead to see if you need to bring water with you. Again, I had a wonderful time and will be back on a regular basis.

Very nice campground, the site was very nice. Nearby store was very good, very courteous employees. Campground was quiet after-hours. No complaint at all about Cades Cove campground!
@RuthJ522 · Camped on Nov 7, 2021 at Campsite #C8
Incredible experience!
Coming from Colorado, we don't have forest like this.
Roads are little narrow, but manageable.

Despite being in a very, very busy part of the park, this campground was quite nice.

campground is great , only thing what would make it 5 star would be warm showers .
Cades cove itself is becoming to busy to enjoy it much anymore . to many folks being selfish and just block all traffic to take pictures of the wildlife . Hiking trails are still nice and not overly used . Camp store is great .

Love the nature, the staff was very kind, just loved the feeling that come with being at Cades Cove
@JanL4472019 · Camped on Sep 27, 2020 at Campsite #C8
Its always a wonderful experience here at the campground! Definitely walking or bike in the loop is a must preferably on days where traffic theres no auto travel thereCheck to be sure the day. Dont forget the ice cream at the camp store! Cades Cove isnt complete without visiting there for the ice cream!
@AdamD8701821 · Camped on Aug 24, 2020 at Campsite #C8
There was ZERO access to drinking water except through the bathroom sinks. Very few people adhered to food/bear safety rules.
@Katherine76321 · Camped on Jun 23, 2020 at Campsite #C8
This site is much too close to C9. It would probably be good if two families or friends were using both sites.

Saturday we receive an email stating the park would be closed. This changed all of our plans. Camping is not something you can throw together. It takes planning. One day later after canceling our whole summer vacation we receive another email stating the park was indeed re-opening. Messed up our whole vacation.
