We're very disappointed in the delay of the vehicle-free day in the cove this year. We come to the campground every year for my son's birthday. We book 6 months in advance, and we always take the whole week off work just to enjoy the vehicle-free loop on Wednesday. It's not easy to come in the middle of the week, but it is worth it for the loop. This year, we arrived and found out that they had delayed vehicle-free day by 6 weeks, claiming staffing issues. Does it take a lot more staff to NOT allow cars in the loop one day a week? Was it just a political stunt? What a waste. There was no warning. Really put a damper on the trip this year, we probably would not have come if we had known, or would have moved our dates. We will book again for next year, but we will be sure to call in advance and make sure about the vehicle-free day so we can cancel our trip if we need to. Not coming back again unless we can be sure the loop will be vehicle-free.

Cades Cove is a beautiful mountain area. Very diverse area. Lots to see and do in the Townsend Tn area.

I really can't rate it since our trip was cut short due to an evacuation. But we will definitely try again.

Biking around Cades Cove Loop. On vehicle free Wednesday was amazing. You can take your own bike or rent from the store. Don’t pass up the delicious ice cream cones at the store.

Campsite was clean and the overall experience was good. The gift store internet was down so we couldn't make any purchases.

We had a very great time at Cades Cove. Weather was near perfect for most of our time.
The only real complaint was that we were not warned about the closing of the Cades Cove Loop.
We arrived on September 6th and the loop was closed for 3 weeks for repaving beginning September 7th.
There was no mention of this when we made our reservations on August 6th. We found out from a friend who lives in Indiana. He told us a couple of days before our trip.
We're glad they're repaving but it would have been nice to have known in advance.
We met several people who had traveled there mainly for the loop and they were also surprised and disappointed.
It is my understanding that they have now put a notice of closure more prominently on their site. I sure hope so.

Overall, it's a great place to visit. Just be sure you ask all of the right questions prior to your visit.
