Our visit just happened to coincide with the sincrinized fireflies so never thought we would find an available space. Lucky for us days of rain must have kept many at home. Don’t think the campground was even half full which made it delightful. The bathrooms were well maintained. Showers would have been wonderful, but it is a primitive site, so! The Rangers were very attentive and always around. Overall wonderful stay.

Everything was fine, but no toilet paper in the restroom on the first day so carry your own. The camp staff were very nice and the grounds were clean. A beautiful spot!

We enjoyed Smokemont very much! Clean bathrooms in a number of locations convenient to sites, campsites were numerous and most were completely level. A good number of pull through sites as well as a bubbling stream that runs through campground next to many of the campsites. It was a quiet place to spend a night and we will certainly come back for longer next time!

Everything about our experience at Smokemount and GSMNP was perfect. The campground was clean and well maintained. Our site along the river was beautiful and well spaced out.

Loved this place so much. Many bathhouses, though I do wish there were shower facilities. The creek adjacent to camp was such a nice touch to the experience. I'm so glad we camped on the NC Side given how tourist-heavy the TN side has become - this place felt secluded enough to feel deep in the woods, but close enough to any and all amenities one could need just a short drive into town.

Campground was well kept. Sites were a little closer together than I would have liked. Very annoyed with all the generator use, especially those who continued after posted hours.
