Smokemont Campground

Smokemont is a beautiful campground, close to all the amenities of Cherokee, North Carolina. There is normally good fishing on the river, but with all the rain the previous Monday it was not all that good. I had a wonderful time, and the staff and campground host or wonderful.

Very spacious, and a lot less crowded and much quieter than Gatlingburg/ pigeon fork campgrounds where we stayed. River bank sites are very shaded while the sites in the loop middle have open space ( suitable for Starlink) . Wading in the river is fun and sitting at the bank is relaxing. Super close to mingos fall, horseback riding, mountain farm museum and visitor center (where we saw more than 20 elks at dusk)

Loved the area, the dark skies and quiet night.

Campground was in a great area. Bathrooms were not very clean but usable. Biggest problem with this campground is the management. They don't seem to want to enforce existing rules so they makeup rules on the fly, post signs about the new rule then go spend the entire day huddled in the office gossiping.

it was a nice spot

Very quiet and sparsely populated

nice, clean, great spot near river for kids to play, would definitely come back

Very good campsite. across from camp host who never said one word to us for 4 days. In fact, the day we were backing our camper into the site we received no help from host. My wife is disabled FYI. Also, at the dump station I was trying to get water from hydrant. The hose connection needed a plug on the outlet. I asked a worker who was mowing. His answer was "use another one" while walking away, He did not understand the problem. And didn't want to know. Eventually I moved the camper and used the hose that has no connection like a garden hose which was needed to fill my water supply. On a positive note, Ranger Noha was very helpful with this problem. In fact, this is the second time Ranger Noha has assisted me when the computer was down at the ranger station a few weeks ago. This is a very good campground. I have been camping here for 60 plus years. Bathrooms clean, grass cut , no trash a Ten. Social skills on some a zero.

As always the staff at Smokemont were stellar, they are so helpful and professional, they really do make the experience at Smokemont a outstanding experience, cannot recommend Smokemont campground high enough to truly reflect how much fun you can have there, so if you get the opportunity to go and visit, do it, you will have a great time !

Smokemont is a peaceful place to enjoy family and friends and make memories.
