Elkmont is at a perfect location in the park and I definitely would recommend it for people if they want to be in a more centralized part of the park where they are not too far from everything. Definitely recommend going to Cade's Cove and Abrams Falls in the west side of the park.

Beautiful place to camp. Gatlinburg is not worth the trip in. Spend your time enjoying all of the hikes and waterfalls. Amazing national park and campground!

First time camping since being a kid and it was a great experience. It was opening weekend, so it was still cold but it was quiet and no real issues. firewood was a bit pricey, but that is my only complaint.

We loved Elkmont. We were in Loop A, which allowed us to benefit from our solar panels. Bathrooms were clean. The history of historic Elkmont with access to the restored homes was fun. Proximity to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge was nice, especially at this time of year when the Christmas lights were up. The Great Smoky Mountains is one of our favorite places. Staying in one of the campgrounds adds to the experience. We have stayed at Smokemont before and love that area of the park as well.

Elkmont is a very nice campground with several clean restrooms. We stayed there in early November, 2023. It was quiet, the Ranger's were friendly, and overall a great experience. We enjoyed the proximity of the Campground to the Jakes Creek and Little River Trails. We were able to walk from our campsite to the far end of the "A Loop", near the river, and walk up to the road. From there, we crossed the bridge and walked to the Jakes Creek Trail Head. We hiked the Jakes Creek Trail to the Cucumber Gap Trail to the Little River Trail and back to the Elkmont Campground. My Strava App says it was a total of 6.86 miles with an elevation gain of 826 feet. Even though the traffic in the Park is not bad at this time of year, it was so nice to not have to drive anywhere to do a nice hike. We will definitely be returning to Elkmont Campground in the future!

nice campground, enjoyed talking to the man taking care of the campground store, would be nice if they put in showers like most of the other campgrounds have

Elkmont is a beautiful campground and is our favorite of all of the developed reservable campgrounds we have stayed at in the Smokies. It is convenient to town and to trails but still has the sound of babbling brooks to fall asleep to at night. So peaceful and tranquil and a wonderful place every time we stay!

The Synchronized Fireflies lived up to the hype. What an amazing experience!
Elkmont campground was beautiful and surprisingly uncrowded.

Everything is good, just wish the bathrooms were open.
