ScoutFun and relaxing creekside Glamping treehouse, there's plenty of space for a few tents as well. The creek is cool and refreshing to enjoy rock hunting. Large fire pit and grill to make our dinner. We stargazed on one if the clear nights, looked like the planetarium! When we went to sleep we we're comfortable in the Air-conditioned beautifully decorated treehouse. Lots of fun places to go within 20 minutes in any direction... really centrally located in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains!
LegendCamp Leconte Luxury Resort is located in Gatlinburg near the Greenbriar area of the Smokies. It’s a fairly small campground right on the Parkway. It’s close to town, but far enough away to avoid traffic. The campground has nice, paved spots for rv’s. It has glamping tent cabins, as well as vintage campers. There is a camp store, but the campground is not far from a grocery store and liquor store. There’s a trolley stop nearby also, so if you’d like To go to the strip, you can take the trolley and not worry about parking. There’s a nice pool and playground. Very clean campground.
GuideWe stayed here over July 4th weekend and it was a really great experience! The campground is nice and well kept. The bathrooms were so clean and so nice! They are air conditioned with three stall and three showers. They also have a nice playground on site as well as a air conditioned club house they provides a nice break from the heat. They also have firewood and I’ve on site which is really convenient. The owners are super nice and come by each morning to pick up your trash. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and trekking through the creek. We would highly recommend for anyone camping in the Cleveland/Helen area.
TravelerI have stayed here 3 or 4 times. The owner takes great great pride in his ownership. He was able to buy it from a family whom let the place go down hill then rebuilt it himself with family and friends. The cabins are warm at night without the need for a heat source. The shower house is also climate controlled. There are no designated places for tents therefore you don't necessarily have to stay in the first spot you picked. Another thing I love about the ownership is your bill is on the honor system. They will not hound you about what you owe. You can pay as you go or wait for the total as you leave. You are far enough in the sticks but also close to whatever you need from down the road. He placed 2 or 3 (can't remember) posts for electricity and never complained about me stinging my 100' extension cord through the creek so we could enjoy the fire pits as well as the electricity for phones and tent heaters. Their food is very good too sadly, only on the weekends from Friday evening to Sunday morning.
GuideIndian Creek offers the most relaxing creekside camping in North Carolina.
Every campsite is lush with greenery, private and well maintained after each occupancy. The bathhouse is the cleanest I have found and the campsite store carries all of your forgotten necessities, and more!
My husband and I love coming back to this campground, because how of well we and our kids sleep! The sound of the creek at night melts all of your worries away and takes you off to peaceful slumber.
This campground is always in rotation for a visit.
ScoutMy family and I have been camping at this campground for over 25 years now. When we first started going here it was a small family owned business and it has certainly changed since KOA took over but I think they’re all positive, just less of the charm. The sites along the river are by far the best, and the cost is reflective of that. They upgraded the bathhouse to be climate controlled recently... the best upgrade!!! The location is superb, right outside cades cove and a five min drive from put in for tubing down the river and one of the few places you can simply tune to without having to pay a service to shuttle you one way or the other. The staff is amazing. Definitely a must stop!
TravelerThis campground is great! It has clean bathrooms with showers, fire rings with grill grates, lots of hiking, hike to a beautiful waterfall, huge lake to swim or float on a raft, and the lightning bugs were breath taking!!
We stayed at site #39. Next to the trail that leads to the lake. Next to rest room, trash bin, and water spout. This specific site has the driveway and then stairs to the fire/table/tent pad. We set our large tent on the tent pad and a smaller tent on the driveway next to the stairs.
Pros: No reservation needed. Warmish showers. Hiking. Lake to swim in. Beautiful waterfall. Perfect to see millions of lightning bugs. Easy payment (put money in slip and put in bin, and yes they do check). Pets allowed.
Cons: we had the WORST neighbors I’ve ever experienced while camping! The staff warned them about quiet hours but never came back to in force it. Fire ring grill topper was broke off.
DON’T drive up the dirt path, we made that mistake. Take the regular rode. GPS sends you automatically to the dirt road.
Over all I’m defiantly going to camp there again. Well kept and overall has a lot to offer
GuideWe stayed for a week on an RV back in site. The sites can be soemwhat close together, but with this mostly just being home base, we didn’t find it to be a problem. Our oldest rented a bell tent, and when I say they are the cutest camping spot, I am not exaggerating. The bell tents sit on the river and away from all the RV sites. They even include 2 full size beds and lamps/nightstands. The entire grounds is surrounded by a river that has a swimming hole and can be traversed in a tube. The playground is large and our son was there multiple times a day. They have a movie in the park each Friday and offer church services on Sundays. The trolley runs through the grounds and into downtown gatlinburg, but takes about 30 minutes to get to town. The bathrooms/showers are all private stalls and pretty well maintained. We will definitely be visiting again in the future.

Hiking the Jackrabbit Mountain trails: Located near Hayesville, about 20 minutes from Marble, these trails offer both beginner and intermediate options. "The 15 miles of mountain bike trails are absolutely amazing for all skill levels," notes a visitor to Jackrabbit Mountain. Another camper shared, "It is a very good challenging trail with lots of hills. At some points you get a great lookout of the lake and it just gets better when you get to the top."
Fishing in cold mountain streams: Several campgrounds offer direct stream or lake access for anglers. At Tellico River Campgrounds, visitors appreciate the "easy fishing access" with one camper noting, "Most locations are on the river, and even across the road you can still hear the peaceful sounds of the river."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The region supports diverse animal populations. A visitor to Cades Cove Campground shared, "This is a very unique spot in the smokies. I have never seen more black bear. It was a very safe distance we watched them about a football field away across a field pretty amazing experience."
Limited cell service: Many campgrounds in the area have poor connectivity. A visitor to Jackrabbit Mountain mentioned, "Cell service wasn't great for me here, but then again in all the Smoky Mountains I cruised around with pretty much 1 bar or less."
Seasonal operations vary: Many sites close during winter months. Indian Boundary operates "April 17 to November 4" according to its listing, while others like Cades Cove operate from "March 11 to October 31."
Weather preparedness essential: Mountain weather can change quickly. A camper at Trackrock noted, "Upon check out we advised of damages and were only met with an 'I'm sorry,'" after experiencing unexpected storms that damaged their equipment.

At Bald Mountain Camping Resort, "There are two playgrounds, two basketball goals, a small baseball field, a pool, a shuffleboard court and a game room."

Consider sites with beach access: Swimming opportunities are popular with children. A visitor to Indian Boundary noted they have a "Great beach area and they rent SUP and kayaks. I would highly recommend booking your next adventure at this campground!"
Plan for educational activities: The region offers numerous learning opportunities. At Cades Cove, a visitor suggested, "Go on the car tour loop and make sure to stop and look at the cabins and church. History at its finest."
Check access roads before booking: Some campgrounds have challenging approaches. A Trackrock camper warned, "Very steep and unlevel roads; especially when leaving. Our camper came in contact with the side of our bed and tailgate multiple times."
Consider site leveling needs: Many mountain campgrounds feature sloped sites. At Vogel State Park Campground, campers noted, "There are several loops offering more or less 'privacy.' Had I known about the incredible tent 'walk-in' sites before arrival, I would've stayed there."
