Good hiking trails, campsite Close to restroom and cleaning sink. View of river from campsite

@BrianS9986332 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #B36

Beautiful location and bathrooms were kept clean, neighbors werent too close or too noisy. Park staff were friendly and helpful. It is ridiculous that registered campers also have to pay the $5 per day parking fee anywhere outside the campground.

The sites by the river will get to fall asleep to the sound of some rapids. Had a beautiful elk encounter while cooking breakfast and chose to distance myself. Pretty site!

Sites are all right next to each other so you wont have a ton of privacy, but the bathrooms are nice, love the stream nearby that provides white noise all night

Hard to figure out if the campground was accesible with closed area in the Smoky mountains, but really nice campsites between the trees and lots of people making fires at their sites.

@MelissaG424340 · Camped on Feb 20, 2025 at Campsite #B28

We had reservations for 2 nights and found the park closed for both nights. Drove around the park from the South side to the North and found it was still closed. The process for requesting refund was difficult to navigate.

14 Jan 2025, Two notes of caution: 1) Each site does not have a bear-proof food storage locker. There is only one for the entire campground. 2) There are no bike racks to secure your bicycle while you may be away, if you bikepack to this location, or if you want to use a bicycle as a shuttle option to/from another trailhead in conjunction with your automobile.

@JanetA3115325 · Camped on Jan 1, 2025 at Campsite #B30

Plenty of room, great hiking trail nearby that was kid, friendly, clean restrooms

@JoeV6E0C4895A4 · Camped on Dec 14, 2024 at Campsite #A7

Love it here. Our favorite go to place when in Cherokee

@KarthikLA5D5AF · Camped on Dec 5, 2024 at Campsite #B36

We come here annually between thanksgiving and Christmas. Fantastic campground that's has great amenities and good day hikes.Beautiful area to leave the city behind for a few days.

@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Dec 2, 2024 at Campsite #B35

Pretty positive I did not reserve the site I was assigned. Sat on the office phone for 20min just after 5o clock, trying to get ahold of someone to check n see if it was ok to move. There were 5 sites occupied in the park and 3 of em were all next to each other. Thought that was pretty lame not to spread people out when the place was empty. We left. Ate the fee, and went back to Nantahala NF to camp dispersed.

Lovely visit in late November. Smokemont Campground cant control the weather, but it was very cold!! Excited to return in warmer temperatures

@EmmaW1300FB2E7 · Camped on Nov 17, 2024 at Campsite #B1

I preferred the campsite setup of the Cosby campground, plus the bathrooms were cleaner there, but Smokemount was still overall fine. It was close to a lot of major trailheahs, a visitor center, and a gas station for firewood. It felt very safe

@DavidS3927304 · Camped on Nov 14, 2024 at Campsite #A3

The rangers on duty at the campsite were exceptionally helpful, answering my questions about the campsite and potential hiking trails.

@RebeccaM167754 · Camped on Nov 13, 2024 at Campsite #A2

Great camping

@ChrisC9047590 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #B36

Amazing place.

@SarahH2673287 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #A4

Beautiful campground, super convenient to downtown Cherokee, and polite and helpful rangers! I arrived in the middle of the night- was able to easily enter and find my spot to camp.

@ScottH7806643 · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #B35

Smokemont is close to Cherokee (about 5 miles). It is on a beautiful creek and there is trailhead access. Nice bathrooms and informative staff.

@JoeC5097181 · Camped on Nov 5, 2024 at Campsite #B36

Nice and quiet and plenty of elk around

@TinaG8085448 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #A7

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
