Beautiful site, very relaxing listening to the river running by. Fellow campers were very nice. The check in was smooth.

This site was right by the water. It was a nice place to camp. We will be back next year.

Beautiful campground and campsite. I had trouble getting to Elkmont as there is a bridge on the route my GPS chose that isn't navigable by RVs and trailers. An alert on the website would have saved me backtracking time.
The ranger who signed me in was very helpful.

This was such a beautiful campground. My site was nested on the River-so beautiful, peaceful and provided tranquility. Park Rangers were amazing. Very friendly and a quick check in process. This is one of my new favorite campgrounds!

Lots of sites, some by the lovely Jake's Creek whose sounds lull you to sleep.

Elkmont is my favorite campground in the Smokies. Nestled in the Forrest with a river running through it where you can camp right in its edge; allowing all your troubles to be washed away! And speaking of washed away children and those young at heart delight in tubing down the river here!
Daisy town is a walk or short drive away steeped in Appalachian history and its adjoined be one of the few loop hikes in the Smokies, which is very doable for most! It’s the closest campground to Gatlinburg TN and even had a trolley bus that came through Elkmont until the pandemic ( have to check about the reopening of that). Come and enjoy!

Fantastic place! We spent our 25th anniversary here. We stayed here 25 years ago before getting married in S.C. More beautiful than we remembered. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. Full moon on Fri. 13th. So peaceful. Hope to make in 25 more!
