Our church has our annual picnic here and we always look forward to it. Unfortunately this year, there was a car fire on the Cades Cove Loop road and over half of our members were not allowed to go to the campground. The Cades Cove Campground is a great place for our group and all of our members always enjoy the day.

This is our favorite place to come and we try to come every Spring. This year was great as usual. The campsite is nice and within walking distance to two bathrooms. It is shady. If you have a large group, there is room for numerous tents, it has three or four fire pits with grates, and four different picnic table areas. We viewed wildlife in the campground in the form of turkeys, birds, and hawks. This is biking or walking distance to the loop. Check in and out is very easy. I would recommend.

We ended up with a 350lb bear in our camp. We reported it to the rangers and they trapped it that night. By the next morning the bear was removed and we had no more issues. Rangers reacted quickly and professionally.

There is plenty of room for everyone’s tent, tables, and fire and still more room for the kids to run around. The group area is near the creek and the loop has very little traffic so there is plenty of area for the kids to explore. Then you are just a short walk away from the store and ice cream

The group campsite we had was gorgeous and well worth the ~$50 or so we spent per night. We had a lot of privacy and space, 3 fire rings, 7 tables, and plenty of flat, semi-shaded places for tents. It was a very short walk to the restrooms.

The nature walk was really pretty, but I wouldn't call it a walk. It was pretty steep in the first half. Lots of tree roots. Not a problem with children, but maybe not comfortable with toddlers.

Firewood is $9 and Ice was $4. The gift shop smelled delicious due to the icecream cones on offer and was full of great souvenirs and reasonably priced food items that one might have forgotten to pack. The cashier wore a mesh face mask that was clearly for show, not function.

We saw a black bear with 3 cubs walking the edge of our campsite less than 50 yards away.

Our trek around Cades Cove was spoiled by waaaaay too many cars. We rode bikes and found ourselves walking them endlessly because there wasn't a paved shoulder to pass on. Nevertheless, we finished the 11 miles of hills in 4 hours (2 adults and 3 kids ages 8, 9, and 12) and were treated to icecream at the end.

Loved the group site! Our Girl Scouts had such a great time! We hope to come back again soon!
