A27 was an excellent spot, shaded during the heat of the day, and clean. Right across from the restrooms and dumpster as well. The staff were friendly and there was easy access to the little river. Will be returning!!!

It was fine. I really liked how many trees there were and how there was dedicated place to set up your tent. Unfortunately, I was hoping to feel a little more in the woods. In reality, there were lots of other people and cars around and it was hard to feel like you were getting away from it all.

The service was very nice! There is a little store where you can buy firewood, lighter and marshmallows. We had a lot of fun sitting by the bonfire at the evening and looking and the stars.

Fantastic time! It was so easy to check in, and find our camping place. Staff was great too. I'll be back!

Very friendly staff. Clean and level tent campsites. Clean bathroom facilities. There is a river running through camp that you can hear anywhere in camp. The historic area of the campground was fun to visit. It is on the Tennessee side of GSMNP and close to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, and the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.

Great place to camp, nice location in the park, LOVE the rushing water along the edge of the campground. Only negative is no shower facilities.

Somewhat primitive campground. camping areas for tents were good as were the driveways for cars/RVs. Restroom facilities were on the limited side of things (porta-potties vs real restrooms). Still a nice area.

@jamesg881 · Camped on May 18, 2021 at Campsite #A27
Wastewater Treatment Plant was under renovation which meant the bath houses were closed. Temporary toilets and wash stations were provided. Wonder why this work wasn't done in the off season.

Loved Elkmont!!! Close to the Visitors Center and Hiking Trails. Nice bathrooms!! Will return!

We go camp in Elkmont at least 3 times a year and experience been good every time. It is conveniently located so you can access most attractions in Smokeys and Gatlinburg easily. The best part is River flowing through camp ground. Its shallow so you can actually go and enjoy water in day time and you can hear water flow all day and night !!

The area was beautiful and clean, including the bathrooms. It was wonderful to hear the river. There was a short hiking trail behind the camping ground with a little stream. We later went to Laurel Falls. Long hike but beautiful, we saw 3 bears on the way down. We had no phone service while we were there, and for me that made it even better. I can't wait to go back!
