Many sites are not level. Beautiful campground - but we had a camper next to us with a loud construction generator running all day. Each day the campers would leave their camper unattended and leave the construction generator to run non-stop the entire day. We reported all of this to the campground host first, and the next day, the rangers. Neither the campground host nor the rangers took any action. The bathrooms were not clean and should have been attended to more frequently.

We stayed at B16 in a 26ft trailer and truck. Site was level and paved. There was barely enough room. Some shade and privacy on the passenger side. Rode bikes on the cades cove loop from the campsite.

I've been coming to Cades Cove for years, never disappointed. We were in B16 this time. Excellent spot, fit our camper perfectly and not crowded on either side.

It was a beautiful campground with lots of trees, level paved campsites. We cycled Cades Cove several times and it was a great experience. We enjoyed the historic buildings and history, saw bears with cubs and enjoyed biking at night. The bicycle shop changed our bike batteries for us and were very helpful. We hope to return again soon.

Cades Cove Loop was a true treat, with bears, turkey and deer. The convienence to Townsend was a bonus. We really enjoyed to quieter side of the mountain town.

Cades Cove is one of my favorite places in WNC. It is spectacularly beautiful and peaceful, when you get away from the line of cars. Biking the loop on Wednesday was wonderful with lots of wildlife to observe and celebrate in their natural environment. My husband and I would love to see the park put in a specific bike and pedestrian path to allow for 7 day access for earth friendly visitation! The campground is similarly wonderful with its lush forest, bird song and quiet neighbors. Next time well book sites on Generator free Loop C for even greater calm and quiet. The staff were particularly helpful and kind this trip, going out of their way to get an important message to us at our campsite. So thankful for their care and concern.

Our visit was good.We enjoy going around the loop and seeing the wildlife and scentry.Sure am glad they are cutting down some of the brush. Some of the camping places could use some cleaning up.
