It was way too noisy and when the park rangers were told the first night they said oh they will be leaving the day after tomorrow. When told the second time they said its just one more night you should have heard them a couple of nights ago, they were really bad. In my opinion if the park rangers arent worried about minor things like that as they called it, what else are they ignoring. Or more importantly and worrisome if they cant make their authority be respected or taken seriously then how safe is it really to stay at the site.

I made a mistake with the reservation but the ranger and I worked it out and all was good.The camp hosts were not happy with us and on a daily basis harassed us.We cut our trip 3 days short for this reason.Love camping in Cades Cove, 24 yrs of at least one trip a year.That may, unfortunately change.

Another excellent stay at Cades cove campground. Site B78 was a great location. The camp store was very nice and the ice cream and pretzels were a nice treat.

Awesome! We had a problem getting our personal camp stove working and the guy from the store hopped on his bike and immediately came to our campsite to help. We stayed at campsite #78 which was very spacious and had enough forest between neighbors to feel private. We found a creek nearby which was fun to explore with the kids. We had a lot of fun just collecting all the different colored fallen leaves. We visited the Greenbrier School which was a neat site to see and just a short drive (30 min) from the campground. Metcalf Bottoms has a nice area to have a picnic and play on the rocks in the creek.

Overall, we had a good experience. The bad thing was the parking situation since the parking spots were slanted the in opposite direction of the road. You have to drive the wrong way to get out if anyone is parked on the road. However, the bathrooms were clean enough, and our neighbors weren't too loud. The campsite was certainly big enough to accommodate us, and the location was great for being so close to the Cades Cove loop and picnic area. Overall a good 3 stars.

Lovely campground and really quiet for being almost full. The whole area is absolutely stunning with many trails for hiking. Going at the end of April/first part of May will reward you with beautiful wildflowers and mild temperatures.

Cades Cove is a beautiful campground. Staff are friendly people. Store and bike shop are top notch. We were quite disappointed with the state of the bathrooms. They were poorly cleaned with no soap or hand sanitizer. August 2020
