Balsam Mountain Campground

Loved our site and able to get internet connection through our starlink mini.

Clean and well kept campground. Bathrooms were fantastic as far as camp bathrooms go. Camp host was also super helpful and friendly. Not at all overcrowded or rowdy group at this campsite so it was very peaceful!

I have enjoyed this campground in the past. It has always been quiet with respectful campers. This recent trip was terrible. The closest neighbors partied loudly past midnight. The next day the camp host embarrassed me by asking loudly with all of them standing there if I complained about noisy neighbors. He knew who they were. He didn't need confirmation. Then he tells them that I complained that they were being too loud, like right now. He didn't mention that they were being loud past quiet hours. I won't be going back there and I'll consider hipcamps instead of campgrounds going forward. That was too much time, effort and money to be ruined and handled so poorly. I don't want to be set up again to be at the mercy of random people who don't respect neighbors in a campground.

Nice campground, good facilities, sites are a bit closer together than I anticipated but it was not an issue. Lots of elk on the drive up and down the mountain, otherwise perhaps a little less remote, ie more road traffic, than I had anticipated. A great time and campground in the mountains. FYI buy your firewood at the base of the mountain, none available otherwise.

I would like to see bike paths along all paved roads in National Parks and National Forest. After all it is a park. Hiking and driving are great!

Beautiful and very peaceful. Great camp sites!

Nice campground but no showers. Had to walk to our site but that was because campground was full. Need to make reservations ahead of time.

Beautiful setting. Campground is quiet, peaceful, clean and beautiful. We saw elk grazing in the campground!

Beautiful campground. Clean and friendly. The wildlife is amazing

This was my favorite camp ground that we stayed at during our time in the Smokies. The camphost was kind and informative even though we showed up on the later side. I think I saw more fireflies in one night at the meadow by the dishwashing station then I have collectively seen my whole life. Perfect temperatures even in the heat of the summer at those nice high elevations. A lovely hidden gem. Don't overlook it ;)
