We were on site 35! Absolutely awful! Not level at all! We had to jack up our camper with 5 boards on one side which took us 6 steps to climb! We are in our mid 70's!! Never again. Watch for site 35!! It will do you in!!

Always enjoy our camping trips in the Cove, love driving the loop and observing the wildlife and enjoying the Mountain View’s. We like taking a dip in the beautiful mountain streams during the hot days of summer, enjoying a campfire with our friends on those cooler evenings. Cades Cove is an experience that every serious camper should enjoy.
