Location allowed us to drive loop am and pm to maximize our wildlife encounters. Loved this campground.

Stayed for the convenience for biking Cades Cove on Wednesday. Location was great for that. Very quiet.1. Need showers in the bathrooms.2. Plants need trimming along the pathways.3. Poison Ivy everywhere in the camp. Not good. Hard to avoid contact with. If your dog runs through it, and then you pet your dog, bad news for you.4. Some driveways not very level if you have a van or trailer.

Loved Cades Cove. Wanted to disconnect. No cell service for Verizon and AT&T - so that was a big plus for me. There were plenty, PLENTY of bears to see in the Cove. That was terrific. The store/gift shop was perfect. Sites are regular ole national park camping sites. Some are close to other sites. Some have more room. We were on C Loop. Tent pad on C52 was exceptionally large. We will be coming back.

Very quiet and well-maintained campground. Beautiful in the fall!

Ridiculously busy. It took us over an hour just to get to the camp ground because of the backed up traffic leading to the “loop”.
Nothing like driving 9 hrs to get there and be stuck in over an hour of traffic.
For what it is, the camp ground isn’t that nice either.

Everything was great , we just picked a bad week to camp , it rained the whole time we were there . Cades Cove is one of our favorite places to camp.

Very informative

Plenty of choices for a campsite at this time of year (January). Well-kept campsite with very clean restroom facilities nearby. Wonderful, helpful staff at the Sugarland Visitors Center also. Great location for an early morning start around Cades Cove!
