Campsites are impossible to reserve, not sure if there's a lot of people or a few people reserving many spaces

Summary
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.

A local was holding the spot with a clearly illegitimate reservation when we arrived (paper on res board with handwritten schedule). After an hour of waiting around the owners of the vehicles and tent showed up. They gave next to no resistance to my argument and moved all their things, finally ailing me to set up our kit and park in our reserved spot.
Later that evening (past ten pm) they parked in spot A01, as the reservation never showed up even though it was not their reserved site.
Definitely seems like this is probably a common problem at this campground with local campers.

Very nice campsite next to the creek. The campsite has shared bear box and flush toilet but no shower. It is far from main hiking trails of GSMNP but there are several trails next to the campsite.

The creek is beautiful. The campsites are just okay. Very close together, not a lot of tree coverage, no service, but running water in the bathroom and bear proof garbage.

Great campground. Very small, but a decent bathroom, a bear box located very close to the center of the facility. My only issue was riding the gravel road on my bicycle into the site and the lack of cell phone service.

Loved our stay here! There are beautiful hikes in the area and it was so nice staying near a creek that we could swim in when it got too hot. Would stay here again!
