A beautiful and quiet place

We visited this campground in July 2022. We arrived on Monday evening and stayed 3 nights. I wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in A loop, site 7. Our site was clean, shaded and level. We had plenty of space for our 6 x 12 converted cargo trailer camper and Outback, a pop up screen house for the dogs, and could have easily fit a tent or canopy as well. The site had lots of shade, as did most of the ones we saw in A loop. The campsite was crushed stone chips, and I suspect it would drain well after a storm. Most of the sites were well spaced and level. There is not a lot of screening vegetation between the sites, but the distance afforded a sense of privacy. Conversations rarely extended past the campsite, and overall this is easily the quietest campsite (with electric, showers, and lake access) that we have encountered to date. We stayed during the week, so I can't say whether the noise level picks up on the weekends.

The lake is beautiful and quiet. The bathrooms could be a little cleaner, and there was no soap in either bathroom during our stay. Fortunately, we brought some with us.

We will definitely be back.

Group camping in Cherokee National Forest

Mountaintop campground with exceptional views, mountain lake/beach, waterfall, and hiking trails. We went in the spring for a work retreat. We had about 50 people, which filled the site nicely but wasn’t cramped. We had good access to the rest of the park facilities but as a group we had a lot of privacy: our own power hookups, picnic area, bath house, water.
