Perfect weather and company!! I do wish the grill at the camp store stayed open later than 3. Since we came from Knoxville just for the night, we went with the intention of supporting it and enjoying hamburgers. Luckily we had snacks. But sti amazing time as always.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cades Cove Campground. Though it was full (and crowded), the site was very clean and easy access to facilities. We had a great visit!

The campground is close enough to the Cades Cove loop drive that you can easily bike the loop if you choose. There is a gift shop and food store at the campground. However, the sites are very sloped, not level, and are close together with no privacy. There was no water provided anywhere that we could find except at cleaning stations at the bathrooms. There was no hot water or soap provided in the bathrooms.
Some Coverage

Campsites are conversational distance apart. I've never camped so close to other people before. A door slamming competition lasted most of the night. I believe the winner may have qualified for the Olympics. If the park service removed half of the campsites and charged twice the money, this would be a much better place. Our camp neighbors on one side spent their night arguing over riding their bicycles at 11pm and apparently this is a hotly contested subject. Our neighbors on the other side showed up around midnight to set up camp. They promptly started hanging LED string lights and fighting over who should have the car keys. The Campground has zero phone service, which I'm usually okay with. Although this time it would have been handy to find out where the closest hotel was so I could have left and actually got a good night's sleep. 0/10 do not recommend.

I had a wonderful time at this campsite! The site itself was beautiful. It included easy access to bear-proof trash bins and the bathrooms which were very clean! The bathrooms here are the cleanest ones Ive ever seen at a campground. My family and I went to Cades Cove, specifically Abrams Falls right after checking out from the campsite. It is super convenient to camp here if youre going to check out Cades Cove. I plan to camp at this site again!

Bike day was great. Met some great campers next door. Fishing was good in the small creek. Bathrooms were clean. Rangers were friendly.

Sites are on top of each other. People using generators on the generator-free loop. People walking through other people’s sites (instead of walking along the road to the bathroom), setting off car alarms all through the night. Screaming children at all hours.

Overall, a well managed, clean NPS campground. Wednesday no card on the Loop. The Loop is nice the other 6 days, except no control over folks stopping for long periods on the Loop. Volunteers can’t react.

We love Cades Cove as a family. And have been camping in the Smokey Mts for many years. However, our last few trips have been less than stellar. This is mostly due to the condition of the equipment and facilities. The dump station has only one working fresh water hose. And the other station have elements that do not work. And the restrooms were not clean and the sites were unkempt. It saddens me that this is the state of thing at my beloved park. We can do better. Im most sad for those that this was their first time experience and they did not get to experience the cove at its best.

Small camp sites. We were able to use the near by water spout to fill up our camper for the week of us being there. The loop is the only thing that made it worth staying there. Camp ground was basic.

Nice campground and very quiet. Plenty of hiking near there.

Campground is EXCELLENT!!! Drive time from one spot to the next is what you expect in a national park, SLOW.. We saw Black Bear, Turkey, deer, and coyotes. All were beautiful. Fishing was NON-existent, the water was too high. As a note, if you are staying at Cades Cove Campground and want to go to Pigeon Forge. There is a shorter route than going to Gatlinburg. In the middle of Townsend a road goes north out of town, and is only 15 miles to Pigeon Forge, much shorter..

Very well organized and well operated facility.
@ChristieC86010 · Camped on Aug 19, 2020 at Campsite #C69
Very nice campground, for the most part sites are well spaced, bathrooms from a bygone era evoking CCC efforts, well maintained, quiet hours honored by campers, staff friendly and helpful, Covid measures being taken seriously at offices and store. All in all a lovely location.
