This is a magical place! We were here in late April. The weather was perfect with clear skies. The river was rushing by and fishermen were wading in the cold waters. We saw just a couple of fireflies high in the trees. Our site was on the Little River so the sound of the river lulled us to sleep each night.

Beautiful site along the river. Clean bathrooms and a nice dish washing station. Nice walking paths. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Fantastic campground! Staff was super friendly. Check-in was super easy. Our kids loved the experience! Restrooms were clean and well maintained.

spacious sites in a beautiful setting.
The little river trail is close and amazing.
Some of the potholes on roads were getting out of hand and may damage a car/camper

The campground rates 5 stars in my book. It's a beautiful campground and well run. I had to take one star away because of the temporary port a potties. Once the rest rooms reopen this campground deserves 5 stars!

The campground was beautiful. We were right by the river. We did several hikes and an 11 mile bike ride at Cades Cove on Wednesday morning. It’s closed to motor vehicles then. However, I knew there wasn’t showers at the campground but I did expect flush toilets. When we checked in we were told they were working on the sewer system and there were porta toilets instead. We were there 4 nights, no one was working on system. 4days of that was too much for us. They weren’t even the big handicap ones. Also the camp store wasn’t open. The park was wonderful, the campground beautiful but primitive. It would have been really horrible if I had small children. An email about the porta potties would have been nice.

Always wanted to camp here and it was worth the wait. Plenty to see and do.

The bathhouses were all closed. A better way would be if you were rentavatjng them just close one at a time! We were notified only one week before we arrived of the issue. We were informed that they would have some open hours but they were always closed.
