The fireflies were fantastic. The staff that was there was very helpful. More parking needs to be arranged. I understand that the park service is short on funding. It would be helpful if there was a dump station at Elkmont. The campground roads need to be paved or at least fix the pot holes. Making more handicap sites with the 5 amp electrical plug would make it easier on campers on CPAP. If the husband and wife are both on CPAP the you might need an electrical plug with a 7.5 amp circuit breaker. We love Elkmont. I have been camping there since 1966.

We stayed at Elkmont in a 29' travel trailer for 2 nights. The site was easy to access, fairly level, and close to a bathroom (no shower). My only complaint about our site in particular was the outside area, picnic table, fire pit, tent pad, was on the 'wrong' side, driver side of camper where our door is on passenger side. The tree cover was nice, but didn't allow me to see the beautiful night sky from my campsite.

The handsome young ranger with the dark black wavy hair and beard was so helpful- he went above and beyond - I didnt get his name but he works in the evenings at the checkin station- this is our favorite campground - so much room between sites and so many nice places to walk with our dog - thank u for taking such good care of this campground- all the staff were wonderful!!!

We loved this campground. We have never been to the Great Smokey Mountains and this a great spot to explore from. There are many trails heads near by. The bathrooms were reasonably clean and there was a cleaning station for dishes.

I did not like this campground. Maybe the park should collect an entrance fee (like most national parks) and update its facilities.

Unnecessary to close the bathrooms. Fares should be lowered if we have no access to amenities

Overall it’s a great location due to being closest to Gatlinburg and with that I’ll give it 5 stars. Whoever, the campground is okay, at the time we were there the bathrooms were under repair due to a damaged pipelines, that is minor and excepted because that happens. 💥 The Major issue I have with Elkmont Campground is NO Dump Station on site. You have to Drive your Rig 6.5 miles one way to Dump your tanks, to us that is unacceptable.

We have camped there for 30+yrs. sites are very spacious and fairly well maintained. Too many attractions to even begin. Tremendous hiking opts, river play &floating and vast public entertainment w/in 20 miles.
