Love this park. Been here so many times and driven through it a lot. Love the scenic views and nice drive through. Spotting animals and seeing the old buildings is always fun.
Beautiful love it here! Have a shop where you can buy a souvenir or a snack such as ice cream also ranger station is close by the Campground is beautiful however the sites to look very small there is no place to shower and I don't think that they have a restroom open accessible overnight hours that said I did not see any RV's there either, but this is a good place for primitive camping
My overall experience of this campground and park was awesome during the entire week. We even got to experience camping in a tent during cold nights and even rain. Thank goodness we came prepared! Being this close to nature was what I needed.
Really great scenic drive. Not very crowded at the end of October. Got to see several deer and 6 bear...loved it!
The campground is good area to picnic around with family. lots of kids and family were there. Sitting benches and grills were there if you want to do some grilling. restrooms were not great but cleaned above average.
My husband and I spent an entire week here camping in our little tent and it was beautiful. The bathrooms were very clean in the campground, but there is no soap, so bring your own soap. The park rangers and shop workers were very nice and friendly. Their concern for campers' safety is very genuine, so take all of their advice and follow the rules. It's for your own safety. We had a wonderful experience during our week here.
We hiked Abram's Falls Trail, which was absolutely beautiful. It was a 5 mile round trip (2.5 miles there and 2.5 miles back) trail, so not too bad. But it may be too much for those who are only used to 1 or 2 mile hikes. You are also going uphill on this trail, so take that also into account if you are used to walking 5 miles on a relatively level surface.
Then we also hiked Rich Mountain Loop Trail. It was also gorgeous, but be warned, you will be hiking for 8 and 1/2 miles up a steep trail. So it is NOT for small children and bring LOTS of water. Also, keep track of your map and which direction you're going, there are branch off trails that you can easily get lost on. If you are careful, come prepared, and have the physical strength this is a beautiful hike. The mountain view is stunning.
The Cades Cove Scenic Loop drive is also beautiful, lots of picture opportunities. It is a one-way street that you CANNOT turn around on. There are several signs that instruct people to keep moving and not to stop. Many people ignore this rule and just stop in the middle of the road, causing lots of traffic jams. It was very annoying when people did this. Only stop for animals crossing the road and then move on. DO NOT stop in the middle of the road to take pictures. There are plenty of pull-offs and parking areas to stop and take pictures, USE THEM.
