We love camping in Cades Cove surrounded by beautiful nature and have been camping in CC for 50 years as we grew up in Knoxville. Made reservations months ago as usual for our annual trip in May. Very sadly, we didnt learn until firm plans set and bikes rented that they pushed back the car free wednesdays until mid June. Very disappointing as the main reason we make the trip in May before school is out and campground less crowded. Loop jam packed as usual with cars, trucks, vans but we managed to ride with the flow but a lot less pleasant. Hopefully this will change back next year. Know it hurt our favorite bike rental shops business as well.

Have been camping in this campground for 55 years. I know things change but I would like to see the following happen in the campground and loop road experience...
1.) Ice and firewood are ridiculously over priced especially since the wood is usually green.
2.) Lady's room in lower section C, stall #2 needs an actual lock not a nail on a string.
3.) Store needs to remain open until at least 7pm.
4.) Loop road needs to be monitored better for traffic/bear jams.
5.) Rangers (law enforcement) should drive around the campground more throughout the night to enforce quiet hours.
6.) EVERY year, in June, the mini motorcycles ride through the campground well after quiet hours. WHERE IS LAW ENFORCEMENT???
7.) Soap dispensers in women's room needs soap continuously.
Good change...
*love the new sink on the back of section C's upper restroom.

This site allows for better privacy and is close to the restrooms.

We have camped at the Cades Cove Campground many times. It is one of my favorite places to camp. My wife and I have a 24' pull-behind RV and fits most campsites in the campground. We like the way that many of the campsites have been updated with new concrete semi-level pads. The sites are fairly large and have good shade. The campground is located in one of the most beautiful areas in the Smoky Mountains. There are no hookups except for very low voltage on some handicapped sites. There are two areas; generator and non-generator sides. we prefer the non-generator area. Its much quieter but you have to plan differently when you camp. We take an extra deep cycle battery if we are going to camp more than a few days so we can run our refrigerator and water pump longer for showers, cleaning dishes and using our RV restroom. We also bring battery powered lanterns for lights at night to conserve our main RV battery. It is worth it to us to enjoy the quiet peaceful side of the campground. On our last trip we saw several bears come through the camp but they were not very interested in sticking around but was a very nice to experience. If you camp there make sure you take your bike and ride around the 11 mile loop on Wednesdays when cars are not permitted on the loop. There are some challenging hills but its easy to walk your bike up the steep ones and sometimes its best to walk your bike down some steep downhill places also. Overall I give the Cades Cove Campground 5 Stars. I plan on making this park my go to place for many years.
