Summary

Deep Creek Campground offers a clean, well-organized environment with beautiful scenery and ample opportunities for family fun, such as tubing and hiking. Many visitors appreciate the friendly staff and the campground's proximity to nature, making it a great spot for camping memories. However, some guests noted noise issues and close campsite spacing as areas for improvement. Overall, Deep Creek remains a cherished destination for many repeat visitors.
Nice location by the creek makes it a relaxing campground. The walk in sites are packed in way too close together though feeling like you're on top of others with no personal space. People constantly have to walk through your site to get anywhere
The campground is beautiful; Deep Creek runs right through it and is so picturesque. There is also a nice, popular hiking trail from the park to some of the best waterfalls in the Smokies, with additional access to longer trails beyond. My campsite was clean when I arrived; I stayed on the far loop in the back, which is much more private than the sites in the front, which looked to me a little crowded. The bathrooms are fine--you are camping, after all! The location is also a good distance from town--near enough for supplies, far enough away that there is no traffic noise. I highly recommend this campground!
Campground had been slammed Labor Day Weekend. Our arrival @ 1pm the day after Labor Day the effects still evident. Rest Rooms didn’t get cleaned until 2 pm. The staff that were available were doing the best they could.
We loved being able to reserve campsite on line like all other major campgrounds are doing, We drive a long way to get to Deep Creek and in past has always been difficult not knowing you had a campsite. Great System. Always great campground and staff

A valid parking tag is required for any vehicle parking for more than 15 minutes in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Please note that parking tags will be required for vehicles in excess of what is allowable for each campsite.
Over the last 10 years, an average of 339 negative human-bear encounters have been reported each year; many more go unreported. Visitors should be aware that high bear activity can occur in any area, and that your safety is not guaranteed. To increase your odds for a safe visit, please follow best practices for living and recreating in bear habitat. Stay alert and be prepared to react appropriately during possible encounters, and always report any unusual bear interactions as soon as possible.
PLEASE READ SITE DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY, site width, length, and slope vary site-to-site. Leveling blocks might be needed for sites.
• Caution: Bears and other wildlife frequent the area. All food and equipment used to prepare and store food must be kept in a sealed vehicle or camping unit of solid, non-pliable material AT ALL TIMES when not in use.

Unattended or improperly stored coolers, food and/or scented items may be impounded by campground staff. Violators are subject to fines.

• Firewood Restriction: Only heat-treated firewood bundled in its original packing and bearing a certification seal from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or a state department of agriculture may be brought into the park.

Heat-treated wood is available from a growing list of private businesses in communities around the park. Please visit www.nature.org/firewoodmap for a list of available vendors near the park. Concessioners at Cades Cove, Elkmont, and Smokemont will provide heat-treated wood for sale during their operating season. Certified heat-treated firewood is packaged and clearly marked with a state or federal seal. For additional information about these firewood regulations, please visit the park website at http://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/frontcountry-camping.
