Great spot in GSMNP with one exception

Great spot that puts you in a more remote part of the park. Only downside is most sites are on top of each other. Be prepared to know your neighbor! Would be a solid 5 star if there was just a little more space between campsites. All in all a beautiful location, good hiking trails nearby. Was a little far from some of the main spots to visit in the park, but we prefer to be away from the crowds so it was perfect. Just up the road from the campground is a nice sunset viewing spot, a couple of benches a few hundred yards off the parking area. Perfect spot to wind down after a day of hiking and fishing. The restrooms (no showers) were very clean and the camp host was friendly and helpful. No firewood for sale at the site.
