A large camper parked beside us and did not follow the generator rules. They ran a very load generator almost 24 hours a day for 2 days. Since there are no rangers working in the area we just had to put up with the noise. Otherwise the bathrooms were cleaned everyday and the hikes within the campground are enough to keep you active for many days. The Oconaluftee Visitor Center was open and the trails around the center were fun as well. Make sure to keep an eye on the weather and road closures. You can get the information at the visitor center or on your cell phone near the visitor center.

Wonderful!
Nice and quiet location with plenty of spots. Mind you we went in November.
Only downside was that it was advertised to have cellular access but it does not. It's super spotty with 1 bar in some areas (but even 1 bar didn't work).

Very quiet campground. Although full the noise was minimal and drowned out by the sound of the nearby creek. Not much privacy and many sites are very close to each other. Bathrooms were clean with flush toilets and sinks, but surprisingly no soap or hand sanitizer.

Great campground and always a favorite. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Only reason for 4 stars is that there is no hand soap in the restrooms. That should be mandatory!
