The site did not have enough gravel on the tent pad. It was also uneven so when a rain blew through the pad flooded. Our tents were dry and sealed but the tent pad flooded & water rushed into the bottom of tent.

Smokemont is probably my favorite campground in the Smoky Mountains. I camp at all of them, depending on where our activities will be centered around, but Smokemont is a small, quaint campground like the ones I remember when I was a kid.

There are trailheads to several hikes to do located within the campground; facilities are clean and quiet. Only complaint was that bathrooms didn't have soap or hand sanitizer.

A beautiful camping area and good spacing of the sites. Very quiet and relaxing. We have a dog and really enjoyed the hike that ended at the Cherokee land. We just wished there were more options to hike with a dog.
