Look Rock Campground offers a peaceful and clean camping experience with well-maintained facilities and friendly hosts. Many visitors appreciate the availability of electric and water hookups at select sites, as well as the quiet atmosphere and opportunities for wildlife sightings, including bears. However, some amenities, like showers and reliable cell service, are lacking, and noise from nearby traffic can be a concern for some campers. Overall, it is a lovely spot for those seeking a tranquil getaway in nature.

For a newly rehabbed campground, Look Rock is surprising problems with their hookups. Water gushed out from the bottom of the spout, making connection difficult. Our neighbor experienced this as well, to include intermittent power outages. Road noise from motorcycles headed to Tail of the Dragon. Clean WC, pristine dump station.

This was a beautiful campsite. Brand new bathrooms and facilities . Absolutely beautiful surroundings. Also a lot of shaded areas . You are right on the foothills so there’s a view going to the site as well. 10-15 minutes to the smoky mountains entrance. Well worth it! Highly recommend.

Good to see it open again. Facilities were good. Noisy family with crying infant was right by us.

Lovely campground! Lots of shade and tree cover, close to many Great Smoky Mountain NP sites on that side of the park. Nearby Look Rock Tower has a magnificent overlook. Site 68 was unfortunately not as level as I’d like, but we made it work.

Tell people they cannot follow gps if towing anything as it routes you in on hairpin turn road.
Should state on your site and the reservation notice to use the Parkway and where to enter.
Site 41 photodoes not show the dumpster is less than 6 ft from your trailer. Great placement if you are truly concerned about limiting potential bear interaction.
Camp Hosts were friendly and assertive.

We attempted to find the campground but apparantly it's not visible from the road. We drove 20 mi to find it without locating. Tried calling all the numbers at Recreation.Gov. All I got was a run around with all the recordings. I was stuck paying the 30.00 fee and did'nt find or use the campsite. I never received a refund of my money either. Very disappointed.

As we were traveling, we were not sure where we would end up to camp. When we arrived at Look Rock, there was no one to check us in. We could not get service to go on-line to register. When the Hosts returned to camp, they were very helpful in getting us a campsite. They knew where we could drive to get phone service. We were able to register on-line. It was a very nice campground, clean bathrooms and level pad for tents. Every time we passed their camp, your Hosts were helping people. That looks like a full time job, I hope you compensate them well. You need to get a WiFi system there so people can get on-line to register.

After being closed for around 10 years, the National Park Service has done a tremendous job remodeling the campground at Look Rock. I have camped there in the past, and it was like going to a brand new campground. The campground hosts were absolutely wonderful, and do a great job taking care of the place.

Beautiful location with nice and clean bathrooms. The lady that was in charge of the campground during our stay for Memorial Day weekend was extremely kind and informative. Campground was not overly crowded and was very well kept. We will stay again the next time we are in the Great Smoky Mountains.
