While the late spring weather offered up some rain at various points, overall our trip to Elkmont Campground was just great. Check in was very simple as we'd made reservations. We had site L004, which is on one of two no generator loops. As we heard generators coming from across the river, we were glad we made this choice. Being a bit away from the water helped with bugs, as well as making the campsite pretty quiet and calm most of the time.

The two bathrooms near our site were adequately cleaned, though there was a noticeable cleanliness difference compared to the main bathroom at the campground entrance. This is hardly a complaint, just an observation. We utilized the campground store several of the nights we were there. The prices were high, but not outside the norm for a national park campground.

This is a nice campground with good access to other points in the park, to Sugarlands visitor center, and to Gatlinburg if need be. We will definitely be back for a fall trip, as well as to see the synchronous fire flies. Undoubtedly, we will stay at Elkmont Campground again as we highly recommend it.
