Great location and beautiful grounds. The generator free loop is quiet. The generator area has generators running all the time.

Check in went great. No problems with check in or out. Never saw a NP ranger or Volunteer in the campground for the 5 days we were there.
Generators running after 9 pm. Some (2) running All night long along the backside of B.

Worst experience I've ever had! Will never return! Here is a detailed account. The receptionist at registration was cold and curt because I didn't have a mask. She immediately asked me to step outside and looked at me like I was a second class citizen. I was then asked to sign a statement that said I would abide by the rules of the campground to keep food stored under hard cover. This receptionist then observed that my truck--a dodge 3500 dually--had a soft cover over the bed--and therefore informed me--that I would have to store all food INSIDE the vehicle instead of in the bed. So I went to my campsite, now realizing that every time I wanted to eat, I would have to remove coolers from my truck, eat, then put them back immediately inside my truck or be subject to a violation of their rules. When I left the next morning, I unknowingly left a case of water, a 12 pack of coke, a small container of coffee, a bottle of dawn soap, and a container of peanuts on the picnic table of my site. When I returned later that evening, I found a bright yellow warning label and a sign that said "We took your materials before the bears did" and I must report to the office to retrieve my materials. When I went to the office, I presented the sign and was immediately met with the same cold reception. I was asked to step outside, and after a few minutes, a SHERIFF appeared and immediately asked me to remove my hands from my pants while he talked to me like I was a criminal He explained that all food must be stored under hard cover and told me that he was going to write a warning for me as a favor. He took my license, disappeared, logged a warning I presume, then returned to me to give me my license back although I never got a copy of the warning. Two people then did deliver my materials back but I felt violated in a national park by simply leaving bottled water and cans of coke on my picnic table. Federal employees gone wild over rules in my opinion.

It is a very nice campground and better than some of the National Park ones we have stayed in. The camp store location was very convenient and had a huge selection of items. As with some of the NP campgrounds, the bathrooms could use updating and have showers put in. It would also be nice to have bear boxes installed.

We had a wonderful time camping at Cades Cove. Our campsite was exactly what we had envisioned and suited us perfectly.

Level sites that are well spaced. We never saw a park ranger to check in or get a car tag. It was a Tuesday- they were never in their office nor did they stop by. We just parked in our reserved site.

Spring time is by far the best time to visit Cades Cove. If you dont have allergies to pollen.
@RichardC284688 · Camped on Oct 13, 2019 at Campsite #B29
Friendly staff and clean facilities
