The park has been overrun by people. Seen a lot of trash. Also, saw group of men in the bathroom. They did not look like campers. A lot of impolite people. Been going to the Smokies for nearly 50 years. Pretty disappointed on how people treat our beautiful national park.

We camped in Site E-4 and absolutely loved everything about Elkmont, our site and The Great Smokey Mountain National Park!! We had plenty of room for our tow vehicle. It was quiet and dark and we woke up each morning with birds singing. The sounds of the Little River, across from our site, was the perfect lullaby to put us into a sound sleep. We loved the hike up to Laurel Falls it is up hill, but falls were amazingget there early because the lots fill up before 9 am. We also did the drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. So many pull offs with amazing views! We did the auto drive through Cades Cove. We got in about 6:30 and we had about an hour & 1/2 before sunset. We saw many of the parks infamous black bears and many cubs. We also saw a few female elk which had come down to the meadow to prepare for giving birth. We drive out to Clingmans Dome lot and did the 1/2 mile walk up to the tower, even though it was foggy it was great! Clingmans is the highest mountain east of the Mississippi. You can hike segments of the Appalachian Trail as it runs along the ridge in the park between TN and NC! Be sure to visit the visitor centers, they have amazing information and the Rangers are so knowledgeable and helpful to plan hikes and suggest drives.

A great place just to be! So much to learn and experience. If you never disperse camping (boondock) this is the place to try out your skills. The camp host Tom was great! Wonderful park.

Bathrooms closed 100% of time, porta potties only. We were traveling with friends and could not visit them the entire time because they were in another section. The volunteers wrote citations if you parked your car somewhere that wasnt your site, even if unoccupied. Too far to walk for me. Also, the overgrowth all over campground was terrible. Theyre really letting the place go downhill. There was no upkeep and never saw a ranger.
