Smokemont Campground is praised for its beautiful, wooded setting, peaceful atmosphere, and proximity to hiking trails and nearby attractions. Visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the facilities, friendly and helpful staff, and the enjoyable ranger programs.

Excellent campground. Our favorite in the smokies. Guards were the friendliest and most helpful. Close to anything we needed. Sites, towns, etc. bathrooms were kept nice, clean, and convenient.

We stayed at site F30 in the RV-only loop and had full shade, was level, and plenty of room for our 22’ trailer and tow vehicle. The site is not directly on the creek but it was close enough to hear it. Several campers ran generators, but all were respectful of quiet hours. We enjoyed the nature trail and the trail along Bradley Fork, both accessed from the campground. Mingus Mill, a working grist mill, is nearby and was interesting. We aborted, due to rain, a day trip to Cataloochee to see the elk herd and historic buildings there, but there were plenty of elk in a field near the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. We also enjoyed Mingo Falls just outside of Cherokee.
