Smokemont 10/20-21/23 B 11 tent camping. I have been enjoying this time of year here for quite a few years near this site. It offers all you need for tent camping, well taken care of site and rest room close by.

This campground is the best I've been too. It's all flat with lots of trees covering most of it. It has trails all around it, and a beautiful creek running beside it. It's very quiet and peaceful. You really can't go wrong staying here.

The wooded surroundings and the stream running through the campground make this a most enjoyable place to relax. There are a couple of trails that are worth the time to explore, providing a deeper connection to nature.
We spent two nights here in mid-October. The evenings were cool, but not cold.

Would have been great except that the trails were so poorly marked we spent 4 1/2 Hours on a hike we didn't plan for. PLEASE work on the trail signs.
