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.

What a great little mountain weekend getaway. Bathrooms were spotless, people were so kind, and the sites are the perfect little size. Enjoy the natural trail too.

We camped here one night and enjoyed it. We only slept here and didn't spend any time on the grounds since we found parking lots with a view to make our backpacking meals. The bathrooms were very clean and the hosts were very kind. We would stay here again when we visit the Smokey's next time. (Photos of wildlife were from the drive up to the campground.)

Perfect if you want an escape and are prepared to have no showers, electric . If you have an RV, don't do the drive if you are over 26 ft. RVs will need to drive up the mountain in D2. Quiet and 55 degrees last night in August!

Beautiful campground that even when it's full doesn't have very many people. The campground host was the best.

Nice woodsy campsites with the convenience of flush toilets and running water. Would definitely visit again. The views driving to the mountain top are impeccable.

Wonderful experience. Stayed at site #10. Tent pads are flat and solid. Site comes with a very large picnic table, and a fire ring with grate to cook on. Plenty of room for a canopy to go over top. A nice mix of RV's and tents. Many folks had large 3-8 person tents that the sites accommodated nicely. Some sites have perfect trees to set up a hammock, too. There are bathroom facilities on each end of the grounds, so not far to walk in either direction. Keep in mind, no shower facilities. Small and quaint. The camp hosts were so incredibly pleasant and helpful. Lots of hiking either a short walk or short drive from the grounds. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash/tie-out. The grounds had full reservations, but I never felt like it was overcrowded. All the other campers were very pleasant and friendly. This was my first experience camping at a campground, and I'm happy I chose this location to be my first.
