Cades Cove Group Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Reviewed Jun. 24, 2018

Crowded sites bathrooms need cleaning

These sites are very close together, not a lot of privacy but I guess That is to be expected in the most visited national park in the country. The scenery was beautiful with the mountains and wildlife. But make sure to lock your food up in your car or bear proof boxes because there are plenty of bears around. The bathrooms were not very clean. Some of them had heavy urine smells to them and floors always had toilet paper all over them. Not sure when anyone cleaned them... there was potable water near the bathrooms and utility sinks. There were no showers in the campground. If you wanted to shower you would have to drive to one of the nearby towns that offered showers at one of the rv campgrounds. The campground had a ranger station and it had a bike rental store as well as a camp store that also sold cafe food and soft serve ice cream. Which was really nice on the hot humid days in June. There were plenty of nearby trails to explore and of course Cades Cove loop which offered nice wildlife and history about the Cove.
