The campground was well kept. Thank you NPS. We were able to do several hikes and spot lots of wildlife. The fall colors were incredible.

Beautiful campground, friendly, helpful hosts. Sites are VERY close together. Felt like the people in campsites next to us were sharing our fire/campsite with us. Fire pits are not cleaned, had trash in them. Concessions are expensive.

THe campground was very clean and quiet after dark. The rest rooms were always clean and the store has adequate firewood for reasonable cost. My part of the campground was frequented by a male wild turkey each evening (and became the alarm clock each morning!) that was fun to watch. The mix was maybe 40% tents to 60% RV's. My site had very tall trees that gave shade and allowed me to tie up a tarp over my picnic table the 1 day we had steady precip. The check in station was staffed by very helpful people with great knowledge of trails and conditions that helped me finalize the hikes I wanted to do. Once back home, i booked another visit out 2 months back to this same campground.

Great National Park campground located within the Great Smoky Mountains, in Cades Cove. Come in thru Townsend, if towing a camper of any size. A must do is to drive Cades Cove loop in the morning and again in the evening. There is a Friends of the Smokies store close to the Cable Grist mill, stop in and support the park.
Camp store at campground is expensive, recommend sourcing "National Park certified firewood for use in National parks" prior to visit. $10 a bundle at camp store, kids Ice cream cone $3. Campground features no showers but they do have flush toliets in restrooms and a central dump station. Bring your bikes, there is plenty of places to bike within the campground and Cades Cove loop. This campground is very clean and please help keep it that way.
Tons of hiking and backcountry adventures close by. Gatlinburg is a 25 mile trek one way and can take a hour plus depending on traffic. FYI, very popular Laurel Falls hike is about 1/2 way to Gatlinburg. Recommend getting there very early. Come and Enjoy the Great Smoky Moutains National Park.

Awesome place to camp. Website instructions need updated as they instruct to check in, or report to ranger station next morning if arriving too late. Ranger station was never manned the entire time we were there. Be nice to have the hours posted on the door.

Great camping experience. Weather a little cold but ok. Few campers therefore very quite.
@JamesG260 · Camped on Dec 31, 2020 at Campsite #C61
Good spot. Pretty quiet minus a generator or two during the day but those is allowed in winter. Nice facilities. I will be back soon.

A great time was had by our family Christmas week. The park was not too busy, and therefore we were able to enjoy the beauty of it all without the crowds. It was certainly cold! But we had a blast!
