well maintained, clean campsites and facilities

Beautiful, quiet, family friendly campground. Staff very easy to work with. Turkeys visited our campsite I do wish there was hot water and heat in the restrooms. Nothing like cold porcelain in the morning or middle of the night.

As a 1st camping user, I feel comfortable here. Of course,as a 1st time visitor to GSMNP, camping is very good choice.

I always enjoy Cades cove campground. Quite at night. Friendly people. Wildlife come through park sometimes.

@JohnT2915386 · Camped on Oct 7, 2024 at Campsite #C33

Well run campground and clean restrooms given the amount of usage. Enjoyed having the option of choosing a generator free area.

Great experience

@CherieBE43C7DC · Camped on Oct 7, 2023 at Campsite #C33

Staff was not the friendliest or most helpful we met on our trip. The bathroom smelled terrible and lacked soap. The site itself was nice.

@DannyGF5F34DDF · Camped on Jun 24, 2023 at Campsite #C33

We have stayed in C section for over 40 years and never been disappointed until this year.
Weeds all grown up in sites. Fire aunts infested around tables and tent site
Reported it and nothing was ever done
Took care of it our self
We done the best we could to still enjoy our time and will be back

@AngieC1916874 · Camped on Jun 5, 2023 at Campsite #C33

Wonderful campground. We loved it. The only thing that would make it better would be soap in the restrooms and shower options.

@GarretL3995664 · Camped on May 30, 2023 at Campsite #C33

A "standard" National Park campground. The sites were not too close together. It is a busy campground. Minus one star for the restrooms being a little "grubby". I know they are high use due to the number of people; however, they could have been cleaner and the women's restroom could have been restocked with more soap after it had ran out.

We have been visiting National Parks for the last four decades. One of the positive changes that we have found are the National Parks that are utilizing good volunteers, mostly seniors, who then get a free RV space at a campground. Many work four hours a day, four or five days a week and it is treated like a job. The volunteers are somewhat knowledgeable (not like the Park Rangers that should be very familiar with the park and it's fauna and flora). I have seen them picking up litter and tidying up campgrounds, have seen them work in the store, hand out information at busier parks, etc. It also helps the parks who are don't have enough staff during the shoulder seasons. Over-worked staff makes for unorganized and grumpy staff.

I reserved the site on 11-10-2022…I was forced to reserve C Loop because B Loop was not open. When I arrived I was told I could not use my generator in C because B had opened April 9 (remember B was not available when I reserved 6 months in advance). The rules changed without my knowledge…when I reserved I was able to use my generator in C because B was unavailable, but when I arrived B had opened early. Unfair!

@CarlS3807743 · Camped on Apr 15, 2023 at Campsite #C33

As always, campsites in very good condition, restrooms reasonably clean, and all facilities in good working condition. Check-in efficient. This is simply a well run campground!

@ByronR269 · Camped on Jan 4, 2022 at Campsite #C33

Very quite! Best time to camp!

@SandraZ843 · Camped on Aug 19, 2021 at Campsite #C33

We enjoyed ourselves at Cades Cove. We did the loop about 4 different times because our kids loves seeing all the wild life. We drove to Gatlinburg and it was beautiful. Will definitely be back for more days!

@GeorgeB523 · Camped on Jul 20, 2021 at Campsite #C33

Bathroom can use some TLC otherwise perfect

@KaitlynP376 · Camped on Jun 12, 2021 at Campsite #C33

Must have missed the part about no dogs on the trail. We left early because of this. Can’t bring them on the trail, can’t leave them at the site. Basically not a dog friendly place which is very disappointing!!

@GordonF759 · Camped on May 7, 2021 at Campsite #C33

We had a great weekend the campground was clean we was in C loop and had great neighbors on both sides will be back .

@WilliamH972 · Camped on Mar 1, 2021 at Campsite #C33

The lack of wash sinks for campers is frustrating. Washing dishes in the restroom is gross, but the only option.

@LindseyL130 · Camped on Jan 30, 2021 at Campsite #C33

Absolutely amazing campgrounds. Zero cell signal. Deer everywhere. Rivers. Mountains. Perfection!

@RaulM109 · Camped on Dec 24, 2020 at Campsite #C33

HORRIBLE!!!! We were scheduled for December 24-26, 2020 and when we got there there the campground was closed due to a minor snow storm, more like a little dust. Pretty much most access to the Great Smokey mountain was closed. We drove all the way from Florida and we did not have a chance to camp. What a great disappointment, it left a pretty bad impression of the campground and a poor taste in my mouth. I would not recommend this place ever again. To top it off we sent an email to recreation.gov for a refund and we were denied. It was not our fault the campground was closed, and we are entitled to getting our money back. They should be ashamed of themselves.
