We had a great time. The campground was clean and the spaces were large and easy to get parked.

I don't understand why, maintaining the fresh water spickets at the dump station can't be maintained. For the last three years only one has worked. I waited over an hour to fill my water tank. Some people are running hoses a hundred feet across the campground to fill fresh water from bath houses.

On Hyatt Lane I would like to see a "Slow Children at Play" sign. We, along with a lot of people, like to let their children play in the creek there. There have been SEVERAL instances that vehicles come through there extremely too fast just to see the water splash! They have no regard to safety.

Camping at Cades Cove Campground is an annual adventure, sometimes twice annually. We enjoy the simple primitive experience of camping even though we camp in a 5th wheel RV. We prefer to stay in the B section, its a quiet natural setting. Elkmont Campground is another favorite of ours. Only issue is availability of campsites. Over the last 10+ years we've been camping in these [2 particular] campgrounds, its getting more difficult to score a reservation. While I know camping has become more popular lately, its still frustrating. However, we will be back for our annual October fall camping trip.

This was the first time we were able to stay in the park in years. The park is so popular it is usually booked up months ahead. We happened to get a cancellation. Having said that, the park was as pretty as it has been in years. The park service has again cleared a good bit of the former grazing lands and the vistas are beautiful again. The cabins and displays are well maintained and the public services areas are also very well kept. I have been visiting this park every year or two for sixty years and was happy to see that the decisions of a previous administration have been reversed and the park looks great again.

There were plenty of bear in the campground. Its also a nice area to ride bikes or hike.
