Reviews of Elkmont Campground
"Loved Elkmont campground for location. Most were considerate with obeying generator hours posted. Rangers were friendly and helpful....if ONLY I wasn't in a tent and had my trailer and my cleaning supplies, I would have cleaned those bathrooms!! They were absolutely disgusting, come on, do better!"
"I went to the old, resort that is just above the campground. Which is abandoned at this point, but has been remodeled and restored. It is monitored and it’s nice to see and imagine how it would have been used in the past and how the club house at the end held parties and things to do. Which oddly enough the club house still holds events today, cause one was going on while we were visiting. It’s a nice walk and fun to explore and most of the houses are safe to go into and look around. Some are marked off cause they need repair. If you have the time it’s a fun free thing to do!"
"This campground is one of many in Smokey national Park. It's beautiful, with a creek and luxury sized parcels. Flush toilets and a very good camp staff. Our reservations got screwed up at another campsite. These great folks were more than helpful and even let us pick out our site. I would highly recommend."
"Great place to camp. Loved hearing the flow of water in the creek. Bathroom were clean but smelled of mold (probably from being the end of camping season.) Easy check-in and check-out. Bought wood for $10.00 (not much, but burned for about an hour and a half.) Well worth the stay."
"We stayed in site B29. This is one of the walk-in sites closest to the bathrooms, and quite a ways back off the road that loops through the campground. We were lucky that B28 (which is in front of B29 and much closer to the road) was empty, so we usually cut through it to get to our site, but if it had been filled, you can get to this site by walking up the path to the bathroom and then turning onto a little side path by the men's room. Be aware that it's quite a walk back to this site - I know it warns you when you reserve that it's 140ft off the road, but that 140ft seems a lot longer when you both 1) can't figure out where your site is and 2) are hauling all your stuff to it. The thing I liked best about this site is how remote it felt. There was one other group in our part of the walk-in area, but besides that, it felt very secluded. I normally prefer to camp in small campgrounds (fewer that 10 sites/tent only), so when we ended up booking at Elkmont, I was a little grumpy that we were staying in such a big campground. Aside from the drive into the campground (follow the signs to get to the walk-in sites), this part of the campground was quiet and felt much more remote than the map would suggest. We had maybe one night where a group near us was a little loud for longer than I'd have liked, but all the rest of the time it was quiet and peaceful, even being right next to the bathrooms. The site itself is quite large, and has a tent pad that's quite far off the ground (the front was maybe 4-6in tall, but the back was much taller). This means that, if you've got a large tent that takes up most of the platform, the first step out of the tent can be kind of tall, and if you're not paying attention in the dark, you can trip over the walls in the back on the platform. There's also a picnic table and fire ring at the site. When we were there, someone had dumped a bunch of charcoal next to the table, but besides that the site was clean. They do have a (very small) store at Elkmont, but it wasn't open when we checked it out. They do have ice and firewood for sale after-hours, though, which was nice; however, the price was something like $9.47, so we ended up rounding up to $10, since you had to put the money in an envelope to pay."
