Great Smoky Mtn/Balsam Mountain

Constrained by topography, the sites are still too close to one another for comfort at times - generally when adolescents who should know better are involved. If you're riding, either get a tent only site or prepare to ask to share a bear box with someone in one of those sites. There are no public bear boxes. Bring your own soap for the bathrooms because obviously they don't want to attract bears by having it there 24/7.

Lovely and cool way to beat the heat. Got to see a spectacular display of the meteor shower last night.

Wonderful, secluded campground. The facilities were clean and the camp hosts were friendly. We have Verizon and decent cell coverage. LOTS of wildlife. Elk, deer, and bears were all spotted in our camp area while we were there. There was actually an elk in our campsite when we arrived! (Photos taken from the car to give the elk distance)

Great quiet campground. Host was nice and checked in several times over the two nights we stayed. Bathroom was clean. Very secluded. Takes about 35 minutes to get to nearest visitor center. T Mobile service didn’t work. Would go again in a heartbeat.
