This site is so peaceful and gorgeous. The wildlife is all around you and they aren't scared to interact, though you shouldn't encourage them. Cataloochee in itself is a very fun place to visit. My 4th great grandparents are buried in the Hannah cemetery here, as well as a Hannah cabin is on site. The campsite is rustic so there are no showers, and the bathrooms are "upgraded" outhouses. Best idea would be to go in the woods because the smell is unbearable. There are a few sites you can get right on the river, and it is fun exploring through the woods where you can discover the foundations of houses that once were. The elk are a beautiful site to behold in the early mornings. Be careful out there though, a black bear walked through our site while we were fixing dinner. Didn't bother us, but it was a nice little scare.
