Cataloochee Campground

Very well maintained campground. Bathrooms are cleaned and trash emptied. Camp Host checked sites regularly. The Campground is a couple of miles from the fields where the Elks graze. The first morning, we saw a large Bull Elk which gave us very impressive Bugle Calls with his herd of about 10 Cow Elks. On another occasion we drove another half mile to the end of the road, parked the the car and walked over the bridge to a much large field. There were 4 Bull Elks and many Cows of various sizes. Dawn and dusk are best for Elk watching.

Loved it! Please fund this campground more!its absolutely beautiful

Great campground to see the elk or hike some trails but compared to the others in smokey NP, this one seems to be ignored. No showers, no nothing....barebones. about a 45 min drive to main part of park. Enjoyed being somewhat secluded. Super host!

A nice small and quiet campground away from the main roads. Good road for bicycling to see the Elk and close to numerous hiking trails.

Campground hostess was very Helpful. There are many hiking trails in the area. Easy flat walk to view the elk. Will go back to do more hiking.

Love this spot! Right on a river, lots of space around us with woods, a nice grill to cook on. I highly recommend it!

Excellent experience.
