All around good experience - friendly camp host (Tom), clean bathrooms, flat tenting sites, great location near a stream, picnic table and fire ring at site, quiet hours (10 pm to 6 am), firewood ($8), and easy access to Benton MacKaye and other hiking trails.

Worst campsite at Smokemont. The tent pad it directly at the corner of two streets and ZERO privacy.

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.
