Great campground and very quiet. Only downside is that there is no laundry or shower facilities available for the campgrounds.

The campground was nice. Not one of the most well kept (potholes, unmowed) but perfect to see the fireflies. Our rig fit just fine. We had a 26 foot trailer and 6 1/2 box with crew cab truck. I would however, not choose a site in A (we were in A24) as it was quite a walk down to F to Jakes Trail (especially in the dark after viewing the fireflies). GPS too was a problem. It seemed no matter where we were it wanted to route us through the town of Townsend and trailers cannot go that way. Wait until you get into Pigeon Forge until seeking directions to Elkmont.

Elkmont is an awesome campground for visiting the Smokies! It's big, clean and I love the river running through it. I was there for the fireflies in July and the rangers did a great job of organizing everything so people could enjoy the light show. Great job National Parks Service!

Beautiful drive to the site, same is true for the campground. It was very quiet at night except for the faint bubblig sounds from the small creek. FYI, there was no cell service--I have Verizon.

We arrived the second day Elkmont was open for 2024. We had a great time even though it was VERY chilly at nights (25F). We didn't think to get more firewood from the common store on site before it closed, however, since we had cash, we could pick up a bundle on honor system and submit our cash in an envelope and drop box - THANK YOU! There are a few trailheads very close to the campsite, but the more popular ones are a short, and beautiful drive away. Sites are fairly small and close, but that's okay, we don't need a ton of room. Only a few sections of the campground were open yet, so we didn't have any trouble with noise. The river running through the campground acted like white noise and was very peaceful. Reminder: No showers. Plan to either make your own, or do without. Water in the bathroom facuets will be very cold. The dishwashing areas were very nice and kept your food scraps and cleaning residue away from your site to prevent bears and other animals from being nosey. Rangers are on site and very help helpful. They also made quiet rounds at night for security. Easy access to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge if you need to run into town (our coffee percolator handle broke off the first day - REI in Pigeon Forge was a blessing!). We'll be back!

Quiet, well maintained campground. Great spots on the stream with good fishing. Convenient location for hiking, fishing, and enjoying the NP. Go to place for a quick getaway.

Peaceful campground, and enjoyed hiking the Jake's Creek trail. Also enjoyed having no WiFI service!

We had a great time, the other campers were friendly as well as the staff. Note: campsites don't have any fire wood in A, but the park has it for sale.

We have been coming to Elkmont and the National Park since 1980. It is our favorite place to camp and visit. It's difficult to secure a reservation for larger camping units. We have a 30' Airstream and we could only secure two nights, in the middle of the week, 6 months out. Those two nights were great. In early May, it was warm enough to sleep with windows open so one can hear the water from the various streams throughout the campground. We also enjoyed a walk to the historic area of Elkmont to see the progress of the stabilization and partial restoration of the original cabins around the Appalachian Clubhouse. Surprised that half the campground was closed off to perform sewer work which had not begun. That will likely make this summer more difficult to secure a reservation. The national park overall was beautiful, but even in the middle of the week, quite crowded. Very little or no parking at the most popular trailheads and overlooks. We were advised next year they intend to implement a parking pass program, but even with a parking pass there will be no guarantee of parking availability. Seems like a new revenue system rather than a fix of a genuine problem. Enjoy this park while you can as it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so in recent years and there does not appear to be any plan to improve things.

The campground is well located as a jumping off point for all areas of Great Smoky Mountains National Park while still being far enough away from the spots that get really congested.

Be sure to bring everything with you. I forgot a few things from the grocery store and the closest grocery store is about 45 minutes away. Make sure you have plenty of flashlights/batteries.

I was quite disappointed that the showers and restrooms were closed. It seemed that the porta potties are less clean and more confined than the restrooms and showers would be. I also arrived late and left early in very damp conditions, so it was a depressing stay. Certanly not all the parks fault.

Elkmont is a beautiful campground! It's also clean and has great amenities. Other campers respected the rules regarding food, trash, and noise, and there was a ranger onsite checking to make sure rules were followed. That made for a great camping experience! Thanks!
