Like many large national park campgrounds, this one is quite crowded campground very little privacy between the sites. The bathrooms were not very clean and frequently ran out of hand soap.

Good spot just popular and full! If you're used to the calm Cosby vibes bring yer earplugs. <3

I will have to say it is a very clean and serene place to visit. I had a very wonderful experience at this campground and will definitely return with my family!

The campgrounds and surrounding areas are beautiful. It has everything you need except showers. Seriously, there isn't even anywhere in Townsend to pay for a shower, bring a solar shower or some bath wipes!

Very nice campground. It was February and cold when we were there, but the campground appeared to be full. It didn't seem to be a problem though as everyone was quiet during quiet hours and there was lots of downed wood to be found for our fire. There were tons of stars to be seen at night and we heard owls. We had a lovely time.

Cades Cove was such a great experience! My husband and I stayed for our honeymoon, it was our first trip to a national park and we were so excited to see the area. The campground was well maintained and the staff was so friendly and helpful. We are already discussing plans to come back again!

I stayed overnight and spent the next day, a Wednesday, participating in the cycle around the loop event. What a nice way to enjoy that attraction.

We really enjoyed our time at Cades Cove. It was close to the trails and we loved biking around. You won't be disappointed. Beautiful campground.

The trails were surprisingly quiet but absolutely gorgeous. Nearby river activities like tubing are a must! There is also a lovely local coffee shop in nearby Townsend -- The Artistic Bean -- that I highly recommend.

Camping overnight in the campground is a great way to be in Cades Cove early Wednesday morning for a day of no cars - perfect for biking or walking.
