Stayed here 3 days and I like it a lot. Some sites are level others not, spacing is OK/average. Plenty to do in the area. Dump station is a about a 10 mile drive down the road at the visitor center, Why? Bathrooms were pretty clean. The only thing about this parks campgrounds is the weird firewood rule, you pretty...

Stayed here early for 4 nights early May 2013. This was the perfect amount of time to see many of the sights the GSMNP has to offer, including Cades Cove, the Roaring Fork Motor Trail, Laurel Falls, and Clingman's Dome. The campground was quiet and peaceful - we had a site right on the river, in the B section, which... More

Love this campground! It was so quiet and peaceful, you really got the camping feeling there. No showers but we just waited until we left, no biggie. Sites were nice and shaded, we stayed in one of the walk in sites and loved the spaciousness since it gave our toddlers room to roam! We will definitely be going back next... More

Elkmont Campground is one of our favorite places to camp. The kids love to go tubing in the water which is very cold. The water is so loud that it seems like you are the only ones talking. Everyone is nice and pleasant. There are handicap sites and restrooms available. No showers so you are roughing it. In the summer... More

I camped here for four nights with my husband and our two daughters (ages 4 and 8). We tent-camped and the first night it poured, the second night it started out raining and turned to snow, and the last two nights were snowstorms! However, we rigged up tarps and made the best of it, and the kids had a great... More

Campsites are spacious & clean. Centrally located hiking trails, Elkmont's Little River & the Luarel Water Falls. I plenty of room for my camping equipment. Restrooms were clean. The Park Rangers were very nice & helpful. I'm looking forward to returning again.

First the bad. There are no shower facilities at GSMNP. I cannot understand why most national parks don't add showers, especially when they already have running water and flush toilets as they do here. After a day of hiking on a humid June day most people don't want to get into their sleeping bags without cleaning off. There are nice... More

We have blessed to have such great national parks in this country! Elkmont is a nice campground, conveniently located to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, and seemingly miles away from civilization. Hikes are available right outside the campground without getting in your car. There are a lot of great sites on the outer edges of the campground (all with pictures available... More

We have camped here almost every year for the past 15 years. It is a very nice place to camp as long as you want to rough it - no hookups. It is a beautiful campground, though. Close enough to Gatlinburg that its easy to get to if you need to go. Also close to Cade's Cove.
