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.

Like a small camping area. Cades Cove was really pretty during early fall.

I enjoyed my stay at Abrams Creek Campground. There is a great hiking trail that leads to Abrams Falls...it is about 11 mi round-trip. Restrooms with flush toilets are also provided. Quiet & rustic. The only downside was the slim road into the campground. Be aware because there is only room enough for one car!

Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I wish they had showers other than that, it’s an amazing peaceful campground!!

This site was very secluded, only about 16 campsites so you feel more in nature. The trails lead to beautiful views.

Unless there's a large group, this campground is soooo quiet and peaceful. Bigger groups seem to be loud and rowdy, and the campground echos with their noise. Unfortunately, there were three loud groups at the same time we stayed; but fortunately, they only stayed one night. Otherwise, beautiful setting by the creek (resembles a river because it's very wide and deep in areas), and easy access to several trails. Tubes and floats are fun to use in sections. But please be courteous if someone is on the water before you and they're fishing. Almost everyone on a float seemed to have no clue or common sense to be respectful of those fishing; what gives? pretty frustrating. The 5-mile trek from the campground to Abrams Falls is moderate to strenuous, so be prepared with food and water since you'll be out for many hours. There's no cell service, and no concession area for things like ice or firewood (like Elkmont, etc). Overall, an amazing place to camp compared to the other crowded Smoky Mountain campgrounds.

We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. The campsite was clean and the bathroom never ran out of toilet paper. The soap did run out but we had brought our own so that wasn't an issue. There is a sink to wash dishes by the bathroom. Bear safe box for food and bear safe trash cans are provided. Lots of hiking trails to explore and the creek was a great way to cool down. We saw snakes, an alligator snapping turtle, some crawfish and a sweet green frog! The sites were a bit close but all in all a nice place to relax.

This campground is a hidden gem. It's small, remote, and magical. The campground is right on Abram's Creek, and even if you don't have a campsite that is on the creek, there is really nice creek access just off the trailhead at the end of the loop. Come prepared to be isolated once you are there. Can confirm there is no cell phone service in the park and the ranger station is not staffed regularly. So I would highly recommend calling in advance if you have any questions. If we didn't live over 8 hours away, we would come every year for an unplugged retreat!
