Big Creek Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Reviewed Aug. 30, 2022

Small campground in the woods

I camped here for one night with a friend and our dogs.

The campground is very small with only 12 campsites. Each one has a firepit, picnic table, lantern pole, and a very large tent pad. There are no RV's allowed. Nearby is group camping and horse camping.

You cannot park your car right on the campsite. There is a parking lot and you need to carry your gear in. It's about 100 feet to the sites.

The campground has several trailheads for hiking in the Smokies. A very nice feature is how close the campsites are to the creek. It was great for the dogs to cool off. There are also swimming holes nearby.

The bathrooms are fairly well kept. There are no showers. For running water you can use water spigots that are around the campground.

Due to the dogs we just walked the gravel road but it was definitely a very nice quiet getaway. I would camp here again.
