Cataloochee Campground

Despite the challenging road to the campground, the setting is awesome, It would have been good to know that the road at the pasture was washed out, but we hiked past there to a wonderful hike past the Palmer House. The streams were too high to cross without getting very wet. The Little Cataloochee Trail is tough but beautiful. The campground is very basic, has flush toilets but you will need a generator or solar for power. We love this place!

A nice get away from the crowds in GSMNP this season. Elk, hiking trails and historic buildings.

Really enjoyed this campground. The rough ride in and lack of showers must keep enough people away to keep this park beautiful.

We pulled a 30 ft fifth wheel in over what we call the “ three mile road from Hell” the campground was great but worried much of the time about getting back out. I would suggest the road be limited to no more then three axles, the elk were wonderful !

The campground was clean and quite. We enjoyed our stay there.
