This is a nice site at the end of the road, though it is a bit close to the site next to it. The restrooms are a quick walk through the trees behind the site. There are two trees for hanging a hammock.

I love Cades Cove, yes the Loop is a "carline" at times, but there is reason for that! Its absolutely breathtaking with the early morning fog and sunrise. The campground was really quiet and peaceful.

Cades Cove is always one of our favorite campgrounds, we enjoy visiting. However, we were extremely disappointed that vehicles were allowed on the road, as it was posted on the website that it was for pedestrians and bicyclists only, on the day we reserved. We needed to reserve months in advance to get a campsite on Tuesday-Thursday. We drove quite a distance and were never notified that there had been a chance of dates.

I enjoyed our stay in the campground overall but found the amount of campfire smoke distressing. Campfires were burning 24 hours a day and many smoldered all night.

It's a great place

My earliest memories of Cades cove was the late 60's camping with scouts and church groups. My family have spent summers there since, we would stay 2 weeks more than once a year. I greatly appreciate the way you have improved the camp ground without changing the experience we felt even back then. Thank you for the great care you have taken to protect what we fill is a very special place.

I was concerned about the restrooms after some of the reviews, but they were just fine. Lovely fellow campers, clean well stocked store, and beautiful loop drive?

We came in after hours, set up quick and walked around a bit. The people we met were so friendly, and were mostly hikers like us. This was out first trip to the Smokies in the fall, and the color was near peak, incredible!

Drive the cades cove loop. Ride your bike on the loop and run the loop.

We are a long time patron of Cades Cove. My earliest memories date back to the mid sixties. I am glad to see the improvements of the camp ground, it is truly a special place. However it saddens me that it cost twice as much to have a camp fire than it did to stay in then camp ground. I understand the importance of protecting the mountains, but the misguided policies of fire wood has little if any value to protect the forest. It has been proven the vast majority of infestation comes from the vehicle, cars, trailers etc. The fire wood policy is another rule made by people who either don't understand and or do not care of its effect. The only benefit is the profit being made by the people providing the service. I live two counties south of the park in there same mountain range. You can walk from the camp ground to my house and never leave the mountains. I wonder how the bugs learned where the county lines are. This is just another feel good policy that benefits nothing but the pockets of a few.

Enjoyed a wonderful week camping in Cades Cove. Most sites are spaced out nice with decent privacy. Was able to watch a family of bears and other wildlife on the back side of the campground. Took several nice hikes. Didn't use the facilities as we have a TT. My only recommendation is to build a shower house. The last loop in B is our favorite.

Cades cove has been our favorite vacation spot for the last 46 years and it always looks different no matter what time of year we go. WE plan on going sometime in the future when we can see it snow.

Nice campground up in the mountains. The campground store is a nice place to get a snack and gifts. The loop offers great views, but we didnt see much wildlife. We saw more around the campground actually.
