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.

The site at Smokemont was beautiful. We backed right up on the little creek and enjoyed the babbling brook all evening. The site was just perfect for our 26" airstream with superduty attached.

The campground was very nice. It was my first time camping in the Smoky Mountains. The creek running through the campground was wonderful. The park itself was terrible. I had to wait over 2 hours in traffic just to see any attractions. Every time I adventure out it was a nightmare. This will be my last visit to the park.

Beautiful setting! Many of the outer loop RV sites are backed right into the trees. Although there are no hookups for the RV's, the bathhouse has flush toilets and outlets specifically for hair dryers. Be aware there is no cell service. Dump station and water supply is conveniently located.

Overall it was a relaxing and peaceful. I enjoyed hearing the stream throughout my stay. Be aware, there is no phone reception in the campground but was able to obtain a connection down by the campground store/riding stables.

We liked the campsite. The rating would be higher had the bathrooms been cleaner. There was no soap dispenser on the wall and no other soap provided. There were also lots of dead bugs and hairs on/in and around the sinks.
