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.

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
@MarkD7704923 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #A2
The campground was great! It was beautiful and peaceful. The best thing (for me) was that there were trails leading from the campground, so we could just head out. The Smokemont Loop (6 mi) was gorgeous and the perfect amount of climb, enough to feel it but not destroy you!

Easy to get in and out, campsite was perfect for what we needed and bathroom facilities were adequate (hand soap would have been nice, but no big deal). Great experience overall! Was perfect for our scout troop arriving late Friday night ahead of a backpacking hike up Alum Cave Trail to Mt LeConte backcountry shelter on Saturday.

Very large campground, but it's spread out and forested enough that it was still quiet on Halloween weekend, in peak season. Perhaps we were lucky, but the large fields nearby also seemed to be favorites of the elk, because we saw several small groups of them in the short time we were there.

all went as planned

Very nice campground. Employees were very helpful and most courteous. Facilities were clean and up to date. Did have a issue with a group camping next to us with not observing the quiet hours but issue was resolved when they were confronted.

Did not have the ticket on our campsite as reserved although it was reserved thru recreation.gov. Hard to see campsite because of the leaves covering it. Leaves should be blown off especially if the site is reserved. Had to check in the next day because office was closed when we arrived. Campsite is beautiful and was not busy this time of the year. Saw lots of elk and no bears. Got to ride on the Blue Ridge to Maggie Valley. This part opened while we were visiting. The park was beautiful as always! Visited Cades Cove and Roaring Fork.

Very awesome time with my group! There is no internet, but I h is what we look for when we want to spend time with close friends and family. There is a rangers office and staff in case of emergencies (very nice people). The only thing is, that you have to get your wood before they close (which I think it should be open longer, or have a form of paying with an app (because I didnt have cash) to drop on the after hours box. Other than that, WE WILL be coming back to this camp! A lot of green and wild life to enjoy. If need to, you can go down to town and take a walk, eat, etc A lot of water tubing, fishing areas.. Overall, if you like the outdoors and family time. THIS IS one of the best places to camp around

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
