Abram's Creek Campground offers a beautiful, quiet location along a creek, ideal for families and nature lovers. The campground is well-maintained with clean facilities, and many sites provide immediate access to hiking trails. However, access can be challenging due to a rough road, and some visitors noted issues with noise and cleanliness in shared areas. Overall, it's a charming spot worth visiting again.

The campground was very nice. It was quiet and peaceful. It would have been nice to have heat treated firewood available for purchase at the campground.

We had an awesome time at Abrams Creek! Even with a full campground over memorial day weekend, no one was terribly loud. The bathrooms were clean. Definitely don't skip making the trek to Abrams Creek! There are a lot of trails that intersect there so be careful to know what you're getting into. Looking forward to returning to the Smokies !

For this to be a “bear country” NP and campground why doesn’t each site have a bear box??? We camp at a lot of NPS with much smaller bear populations and they all have a bear box at each campsite. If you really want to protect the bears as well as the humans you need to install bear boxes at every site. Also the “dish washing sink” was completely useless and always filled with spiders. It felt like Abrams Creek campground was the Campground that has been forgotten by Smoky Mountain national park. There was no camp host or park ranger presence at all with no cell phone reception. The people that we next to us at campsite 15 came in after quiet hours and took two hours setting up being extremely loud and using bright lights. This should not be allowed. The campsite was very loud and obviously was not monitored by park rangers. You need to start charging admission fees so you can better find this park. The fact that we had to pay for Jr Ranger program books was horrible. This park and this campsite has been the worst National Park experience we have ever had.

Perfect setting. Out in the forest in a secluded area and enough people camping there that it felt safe.

It was quiet and peaceful, we got to see a river otter during our stay. Loved being able to fish and go hiking.

I LOVE this little campground! It's off the beaten path yet accessible to significant trailheads. The riverside setting is serene and gorgeous. The facilities show their age and use but everything is clean and in good condition. I hesitate to say too much since Abrams Creek is one of the GSMNP's best kept secrets...shhh!

Love how secluded it was and we enjoy the quiet just listening to the creek in the background.
