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.

It is a beautiful site, though the approach road is badly potholesd, and the bathrooms were only cleaned once in the 4 days we were there. We never saw a ranger, though another camper said one came through while we were out hiking.

Site was occupied and large party next door. Too many cars.Facilities Manager refused refund. Need to review your facilities manager. Drove 3 hrs to camp and had to return home.

When we got there, someone was parked in our drive and the folks didn’t appear until about 5:30. According to our next-door neighbors they got there at about 2 PM. They did not have a parking pass and we’re not very apologetic when we said something to them but other than that, we loved the campsite.

Very nice location, riverside is best but all campsites are great. Quiet, small campground kind of remote which I like but with just enough signal to text family that you made it. I will stay here again when I return to the Smoky Mountains.

What are the best spots in the Smokies. One has to make sure that if they want a nine or anywhere on the Creekside to get way ahead of the curve and make reservations a couple months to a few months out. Otherwise strongly suggest bringing a hammock in addition to a tent!

Couldn't even get down into the campground the road was very bad they had even posted that you must have 4 wheel drive. We had to back up from the first curve. Because there was a hole so deep across the road.

The campground was right on the creek which was great for playing in (my boys are 10, 8, 7 and 5). Many of the sites were empty so it was nice and quiet which was great. The bathrooms were well maintained and there was a small sink to do dishes in which was nice.

We had site 2. I will say it is hard to find the barriors of this site, but overall it was very nice. If you have a larger vehicle I recommend driving the circle where you can back in. This site does sit a little ways from the river. During our trip we drove to Cades Cove and hiked to Abrams Falls and enjoyed our diver around the cove. Loved stopping through Townsend. We have Verizon cell service and we had no cell signal so make sure you have a good map or download a map for the area as this can be a little hard to find if you have never been before.

The campsite itself was fine, but the road to get to it was sketchy. Deep ruts, narrow road, bumpy, quite scary when towing a trailer. It was only for a short distance, but still not a road I want to travel on towing a trailer.
