Will always stay in Sycamore Loop now with Linda and KO as hosts. Always a wonderful time, clean restrooms, quiet loop. Those 2 are GREAT hosts to have. Definitely know how to take care of their guests!
Will never stay in the Sweet Gum Loop again due to our last experience. Hosts do not take care of the cleanliness of their restrooms. Restrooms were never cleaned in the 4 days we stayed there last time around. The host's site is certainly not an example of how campers should keep their own site. The host's site is a mess and they look like hoarders! How can you allow that in a national park?

Great site. Make sure to store food in vehicle or container with lockable lids, raccoons have no fear.
