Abram's Creek Campground

I would NOT recommend our campsite. The light from the bathroom was shinning in our tent all night, and there is very little privacy as it was very close to the path to the bathrooms. You also will not have creek access (unless you want to walk though someone else's campsite).

Having said that, the campground itself is well-taken care of, and if you can snag a creekside campsite you will have a much better experience.

I've been having problems with individuals that use a "Dream Device" to broadcast 3D art movies into my brain while I'm sleeping. This group attacked my sleep over 5 times in two nights at this campground. It appears that this campground has those annoying "Bozo Lights" near the restroom. The "Lights" might be the source of the broadcast, HOWEVER, this is cutting edge harassment technology THEREFORE some "spooks" from the NSA might want to investigate these crimes.

Also, toilets filthy, water tastes funky, bailed out early...

I have lived just over the mountain from Abrams Creek Campground my whole life. I camped there as a kid. 2 weekends ago I took my wife and 2 kids. There was drinking which is not allowed in the park and the group of college guys camping right next to us were saying f**k, over and over again. I had booked two nights at campsite 2, and had to pack up and leave the first night. I didn't even try to get reimbursed because of what a hassle it would likely have been. This place is so beautiful, but has gone down hill as far as being monitored by the park service. I would not recommend to anyone.

Very beautiful site right on the water. Close to trails as well. No firewood on site please remember to grab some in Maryville on the way, otherwise it's not a quick turnaround!

With the caveat that this is a no-frills campground, it is a pleasant place to stay. The river made pleasant background noise for sleeping. The road and campsite parking are all gravel, but well graded, only the sidewalk to the bathroom is hard surface (concrete).

Campsite #2 is wedged into a triangle between #1 & #3 and is a little on the small side, but very level and worked well for me as a solo camper sleeping in pick-up camper. The tent pad is right up against site #3.

The campsite was beautiful and overall I loved the experience. However, for bear country, there is only one bear box for the entire campground. Also the trash bins were so full the last couple days of our stay, they could not close. These are bear proof, which does not work when they are full and not emptied regularly. Otherwise, the campsite and ground were amazing!

We rolled in at 11PM, not knowing that it was a reservation required campground, but we found a site and had one dot of AT&T service. We were able to reserve our site a few minutes before midnight and we slept well.

Next morning, we got to see what a beautiful place it was.

We recommend it and would stay again if we’re in the area.

Friendly quiet and well maintained rustic park. Hiking is great. Bathroom and available water is great. Most sites are heavily shaded as is typical in the Smokey’s

Great trip!

Very beautiful and small campground! Running water to fill jugs and bathrooms are quite clean. Super close trail heads and being near the small river was so relaxing. Will absolutely be booking there again!!
