Wonderfully quiet campground with attentive hosts. I'll stay for a couple of days on my next trip down.

Absolutely beautiful campground! The facilities were clean, and park rangers were very friendly and helpful. The views from up there are gorgeous! Cant wait to return.

The good:After being closed for nine years this campground has just been reopened on October 15 after a $4.5+ million upgrade. Practically everything is new including the roads, parking areas, utilities including electrical & water, picnic benches, tent gravel pads & even the bathrooms have been redone. This was & is our favorite campground in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park as it is not as crowded normally & is less noisy than the others.Lighted sink area between restroomsNice scenic overlooks on the Foothills ParkwayMultiple water outlets & trash bins in the campgroundWe have Verizon & depending where you are in the campground we got 1 bar to 4 bar LTE service. At Look Rock the weather station tower which has wonderful views & is a short walk from the campground we got full 5 bar service. Most any provider should be full service from that location. I am pretty confident that for this campground you can wait to get there to see what spot you want & then make a reservation on the Recreation.gov app. We did & had no issue although in the lower spots of 37-70 it may take a while.Out of all the camping spots there are 10 that have electrical and water hook ups for you RV and camper people.The bad:As this is next to the Foothills Parkway there are at times some vehicle noise especially loud racing motorcycles.Spots 23-26 are right next to a house that somebody built right next to the campground. Ruins the camping feeling!There are no showers.The campground is a loop so there was a good amount of vehicles coming through with people looking around. That should lessen over time as it was on all the local news outlets about the reopening so most were locals looking at the redone campground.This campground is a little bit away from tourist sites of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Seveirville. To us that is great but to others maybe not. You are near the small community Townsend though which bills itself as "The Peaceful Side Of The Smokies".
