Cataloochee Campground

The campground is organized nicely for space at each site and number of sites. The person watching over the campground was very organized and personable.

Nice, quiet campground. Everyone was very respectful- not surprising given that it's not in the busier areas of the park and so the people are hikers, wildlife viewers, etc. The middle sites are really on top of each other, so get one on the outside if possible. Bathrooms were very clean. Very spotty cell service, and Starlink connection is just okay given tree cover- that's good or bad depending on your perspective.

Very quiet with only the sound of water from the creek.

Very friendly host and a quiet location!

Love this campground!

This is our second year camping in Cataloochee. We enjoy it very much. Saw lots of Elk. It rained most of the time so we spent time driving around and enjoying the area.

I got soaked. My tent pole broke, but the tarp still repelled water. I rained most of the day and night. The campground was in good repair. The mountains were lovely albeit wet. The elk and turkeys cooperated and showed on time.

Great place to winddown
Have been here now 5 times And I love it here .It's a Smaller campground and it is very peaceful. Had spot nr 1 this time, I normally try to get spot 5 (on the creek) but that was booked already. The host is Great and she Makes check out a breeze.
Cataloochee itself is very different after the Hurricane from 2 yrs ago. The Access Road to the back Was washed out and is not repaired yet. For me not a problem And I actually liked the peace and Quiet, but for older folks that might be a deal breaker.
Also the road from276 over the top is mostly gravel and can be a bit scary for some .
Anyway love it And I think for me It has taken out Cades Cove ( way to busy ) as my Fav hang out camp spot

Great place to stay, bathrooms were very clean and staff were very kind! There's a stream nearby to swim in, but beware of poison ivy! Super secluded campground, perfect to feel off the grid at.
