The campground was nice, but the large number of very loud generators was very unfortunate (the other loop wasnt open at the time so generator use was allowed)

We love the ice cream in the afternoon. The group campsite was lovely for our large family. I do wish there were hand soap in the bathroom, though

Had a terrific time. Saw lots of bears, turkeys, and wildflowers on the loop. One day, we even had a turkey roaming the campground. The campground was as expected: sites fairly close together but in good shape. There was a LOT of poison ivy that needs to be killed. Bathrooms were clean, We were in the B loop, so it was pretty quiet. C loop had noisy generators running each time we walked through it. It was lovely being off-grid for several days. Truly enjoyed it.

We were very unhappy with the bathroom situation.We feel that as campers if we are paying the bathroom should not be shared by visitors that are at the picnic area and cove.We understand that there was an emergency at the picnic are but this placed everyone at the campground bathrooms and we had to stand in line for usage of a restroom.

Overall great experience! But the bathhouse could be a little cleaner

The campground at Caves Cove is beautiful. The sites are spacious and clean. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table on a cement slab, a place for a tent, and a cement base for a camper. Very nice campsite. The rangers at check in were polite. The store on site has everything you could need and the staff were friendly. I would definitely stay here again, if we travel again to the Smokys. Also, it is nice and close to Cades Cove loop!

Gift shop items & food prices are way over priced to make an average families memories affordable.

We stayed in section C and found the sites had plenty of room between the camps. Our site was nice and level. The park employees were very nice when we checked in and the one time we had a question. Staying in Cades Cove makes it nice to explore the loop. We rode our ebikes and had a ball.
