Smokemont Campground

Great staff and facility.
Dry camping at it's best

The campsite we had reserved was a non-generator site. The ranger said we could change to a generator-allowed site in section F, which we did. We were pleased.
When we arrived at the entrance to Smokemont there were six or seven elk grazing on the roadside grass. Seeing them was a plus.

Always a great place to camp.

Arrived in evening to find myself across from a Trump gathering (flags posted). Went immediately to bed as I had worked on a trail for Trail’s Day. Was awakened at 0500 by the high beam LED assortment of headlights from the same campers across the way who left them on until they left 20 minutes later. If campers are this obtuse minded then the park needs to post parking lights only or “be courteous to those campers who are sleeping when leaving early”. Otherwise the Campground is clean. Nice location.

This is a beautiful campground and one of my favorites. The river is great to cool off in and lots of trails to hike around.

Smokemont campground had excellent campsites, clean facilities, and was in a great location within the Park.

We camp at Smokemont as often as possible as we now live only 2 hours away in the high country. We've camped here and all the other front country campgrounds for 40 years. After traveling out west no place holds a cancel to the Smokies. We always end out westward trips here to relax and chill.

We spent one night at Smokemont Campground after 2 nights at Cade's Cove and one night at Elkmont. Overall the campground was great. The bathrooms here were clean, had some good air circulation and actually smelled good, overall the best of the 3 campgrounds we stayed at, although all of the bathrooms were actually pretty well maintained/cleaned. The river was beautiful and we did a little fishing with the kids which was fun. One of the highlights for us was a terrific 1hr horseback ride at the Smokemont Stables which was so much fun. We did a short walk/hike in the morning after packing up our site and before leaving the park, but wished we had more time to explore the trails nearby. Could easily spend more time here on another trip.

One of our favorite campgrounds! Sites have ample space and facilities are clean.

Nice except I was too close to the bathroom and you had to go outside the park for a shower. The fishing was not impressive and you should have more places where you can observe the fireflies during their synchronocity.
