Look Rock Campground

Sites are incredibly unlevel. I was afraid my RV would roll away in the night. not sure why the middle section is closed to camping. Seems like the best sites. and easiest access to the bathroom.

Overall experience was good. Loved the location. Disappointed on how uneven each site was. Couldn’t get level even using all our blocks.

Very quiet campground during the time of year I stayed, October. Bathroom facility was clean and well upkept. Some of the campsites have houses right behind them with no tree line to block them out so be aware of that when booking. Also, there are no garbage cans on the back side of the loop so plan to make a walk to keep that out of your camp site, so critters aren't an issue. The views from the parkway are worth the trip, and there is a very easy hike to look rock overlook from the campground.

I loved the Campground and the Hosts are great.

Lovely campground in the national park

Beautiful location. Nice quiet campground. Camp hosts were wonderful. Nice hike up to the tower.

Nice clean campground right next to Foothill Parkway.

Campground is off the beaten path so it is quiet and in a great setting. An upgrade to the grounds has just been completed (repaved, bathrooms refreshed) and still is close to all of the favorite local points of interest, Look Rock is our favorite campsite in the Smokies.

This campground is wonderful. It is peaceful and not too busy. We stayed the first week of October and less than half the spots were filled. We stayed in spots 16 and 18. I recommend booking both if you play to stay in one because they are very close together and no privacy between them. But there are a lot of trees between 14 and 16, and then 18 and 20, so having both sites felt very private. Beautiful area. Camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. We felt very welcome. Bathrooms were convenient and clean. We loved our stay there.

This campground is very isolated. You can expect to drive for at least an hour to get to any of the park's main attractions like Cade's Cove and Clingman's Dome. The campground is newly reopened and "renovated". Renovation seems to be limited to having paved the road and the campsites. Little effort was made to make the campsites even close to level. Our site sloped steeply back to front and right to left, making it almost impossible to level the trailer. In addition, the site was not angled properly in relation to the road, so backing in and exiting was unnecessarily challenging.
The only "official" presence in the campground was the host couple (who were extremely nice and helpful), and park mgmt seemed to have pretty much abandoned them to manage the campground on their own. In fact it appeared the entire park was pretty much staffed by volunteers. Rangers were almost nonexistent.
