Great views and terrific hiking. Seeing the elk is special. Sadly they have very little trails for dogs and bikes. Biking is a great way to get around our national parks.

Enjoyed three nights tent camping and were able to book on short notice. Potable water available but tastes strongly of treatment/chlorine; next time I would bring my own drinking water. Ice and firewood available at stables nearby. Enjoyed nearby trails including the Smokemont Loop and walking along Bradley Creek.

Who'd have thought to find that much flat space that far up the mountainside. Very peaceful with the creek just across the road.

Very nice campground along the creek. If you are a tent camper, avoid section D because generators can also be there and they can be quite loud.

The campground was very clean. It is a great location for the quieter side of the Smokies. Our site was the last site to lose the sun in the entire loop. It would be great in cool weather, but very hot in warmer weather.
