Look Rock Campground

The site #38 was okay. Need steps down to the table, why because short people have trouble crossing the gully made by the water coming down the hill. Please fix so that water can run under a wooden bridge or steps. Need to look at trees that are leaning over sites #37 for instant. If there happens to be high winds this could be dangerous. But overall the stay was good. I had to travel to work into Alcoa, took 15 minutes to get to bottom of mountain to 321. So that saying you don't have far to travel to go into Maryville, Townsend, or Wears Valley. We will be back if there is a site available.

There’s is no road sign at turn off indicating where the campground is. There was a bolt that had come out at the table where our site was, so the table was wobbly. There were not many sites being used thru the week when we were there so I’m concerned about the toilets getting backed up. They don’t have enough suction power when flushed. Lastly whoever determined where the fire rings were to be placed didn’t use much thought as to where to place them. Some are to close to the tent sites and picnic tables. Also a lot of them are not at flat area where you have room to place camp chaires

Nice, shady, level camping spots in a wooded setting. The sites are not too close together. We brought approved firewood, but there was plenty of downed woody material for kindling, and even firewood if you don't mind some hatchet work. The picnic table was nice, not rough, warped, and splintered as we so often find. The water and electric for RVs were raised, so were easy to deal with while attaching. We only used the electric.

As expected in a NPS campground, cellular coverage was spotty, but with a nice fire going in the fire pit, and the quiet surroundings, we didn't miss it.

Restrooms were fine. Toilets and sinks only.

Campsites were nice and clean and had a really good layout. Staff was helpful with multiple items. If you enjoy a campground that is more away from things and not in a "touristy" spot I highly recommend as it was nice and peaceful. Had a wonderful time.

dog friendly, and nice sites!! the bathrooms were extremely clean too!

Great spot. Zero cell service unless you get on the Foothills parkway. Look rock tower has some amazing views. A few of the spots have homes directly behind them. Check a satellite map and avoid those.

Beautiful place. Well maintained. Very pleasant camp hosts

Another great stay. It's funny and silly to read some reviews that people post. They give this place a 3 star review because there were roots, too much water draining, near a house, road noise and more. These are the type of people that would complain they had to pay taxes on a million dollar prize or that they had to go pick it up. It's nature people! If you are making such trivial complaints you should just stay home.

Yes, there is road noise as it's next to a road. Yes, there is a house next to spots 23-25. Yes, trees have roots that are above ground. Yes, the fire pit is a few feet away from the picnic table. Yes, there are bugs. OH MY!

Read the other reviews before you rent a campsite here. I guess almost everything being new means nothing. WOW!

All new facilities and very nice campground. Deborah the park ranger was incredibly kind and helpful. There is some road noise and you are on the edge of the park so driving takes some extra time, but still a great spot to consider. There's also a stunning watchtower nearby that is worth the visit when you stay there.

If you have a trailer or RV, you should avoid the upper part of the campground which is more set up for tents. What look like pull thru’s are more like pull offs for a vehicle carrying tent equipment.
Very nice bathrooms with running water but no showers. The bathroom in the upper camping area had insufficient flush water duration and should be adjusted.
This is a much nicer and quieter camping spot than Cades Cove and right off the Foothills Parkway for easy access. It’s also relatively close to Townsend and in a very good location for camping except for obnoxiously loud motorcycles occasionally.
