It is too close each other, everything else is ok.

Like most sites at Cade's Cove B17 is cheek-n-jowl with it's neighbors, but despite generators being allowed, my it was a quieter night than the two I spent over on the generator free C-loop.

Nice campground but there were people running generators beyond usually accepted hours and for long periods of time.I love riding the loop on Wednesday when its bikes only! Unfortunately this experience is ruined by the large number of people riding electric bikes. The constant humming of motors, excessive speed and dangerous riding practices of e-bikers made me want to never ride there again. So sad because it is such a beautiful, natural place. Might as well let ATVs on the hiking trails too!

We have camped in the Cades Cove campground for many years, it has always been a great place to camp. Many memories were made here and hope to continue making them. The Rangers and Host Volunteers have always been friendly, helpful, polite and knowledgeable. If you run out of a certain item there is a good chance the Cades Cove store might have it or something to get you by until you can go to town. The Cades Cove Loop is a great place to ride a bicycle or go around in your car, you can see old homesteads, church's, and possibly see different types of wildlife (bear, deer, turkey and others). A very beautiful and peaceful place. You also have Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge close by to shop or visit. You can also drive the Foot Hills Parkway and or The Blue Ridge Parkway. There are a lot of things to do

This campground was fantastic! My family and I really enjoyed it. It’s secluded and quiet, peaceful and serene. Really enjoyed biking the loop, having jour son do the Junior Ranger Program, and playing in the creek looking for salamanders and crawfish.

Make sure you stay on a Wednesday when the loop is closed to cars.

We stayed in B loop, site 17. You can tell they’ve been doing work on the campground because all the drives are paved now, and our tent pad looked great. However, we camp in a 33 ft trailer and this site, though big enough, is not great. The neighbor (site 15) is less than 10 feet away and the fire pit is unusable if you’re in a trailer because it’s RIGHT beside the drive. The picnic table (which you cannot move) is also right beside the drive and was right outside our door - I could step onto it from the trailer without touching the ground. The tent pads are placed strangely and our neighbors in 15 were directly behind us, so we lit them up when we pulled in in the dark (7pm is very dark in November). I felt so bad.
But we were there for our family thanksgiving get together and had a great time. Some of us hiked, some of us sat around and ate, and some of us drove the loop multiple times. :) Our family had several sites near each other and talked to lots of neighbors. We stayed three days and shut B loop down for the winter.
The rangers were nice, the store people were nice… I love Cades Cove and will be back- but in a different site. :)

We go camping at Cades Cove about the same time every year. The campground is always nice, Rangers and volunteers are helpful and do a Good job. Lot of places to go hiking and bike riding. I only wish they would extend the loop being closed on Wednesdays (to cars) to the end of October

@MaryanneF432 · Camped on Sep 27, 2021 at Campsite #B17

Very clean campground. Hard to get into and I think they should limit stays to a maximum of one week.

@JulieW980 · Camped on Aug 12, 2021 at Campsite #B17

Great time camping with family in Cade’s cove!

@MeganW936 · Camped on Jul 23, 2021 at Campsite #B17

Overall it was a good experience and is conveniently located 2 minutes from the visitor center. I even woke up to deer eating leaves. There were some extremely loud and rowdy campsites that had music blasting all night and into the early morning. Someone did come through and asked them to quite down but they got loud again shortly after.

@EddM195 · Camped on Jul 2, 2021 at Campsite #B17

Always a great vibe at Cades Cove. This site is really close to other sites on each side but no sites behind you. Zero privacy. Nice level concrete pad. Fire pit in an odd spot. Lots of mulch and gravel. Would only pic if last option available.

We had an amazing experience at Cades Cove. I highly recommend the Wednesday bike experience truly magnificent.
