Campsites were well maintained and the campground was very clean and litter free. The camp host was helpful in keeping campers with unruly dogs in check which was greatly appreciated with having young grandkids with us. We would stay here again!!

Rock Creek was wonderful! The fall colors were beautiful. The sites are large and positioned for a private feel.
The bathrooms aren’t new, but they were better than I’d read in reviews online. Compared to the bathrooms at Cades Cove they were great! The shower was hot, even though the ceiling fan moved the freezing cold mountain air around. The park rangers came through at least once a day to check on things.
We saw a lot of small game wildlife, but thankfully no bears. The birds serenaded us the entire trip.
We can’t wait to go back here!!

We stayed at A8 and then C32 for a total of 12 days. This is a wonderful national forest campground with a helpful campground host and forest ranger presence that made us feel safe. I would definitely recommend.
