Shady river spot

We enjoyed out stay quite a bit! Had a fire two nights. Cooked outside and enjoyed the nice weather for this time of year. The hosts were especially nice. Starlink had obstructions with the trees but we put it 20 feet up on a pole to help and it worked well enough for work and Netflix.

The area was beautiful and a short drive for propane, gas, food, and firewood. We spent two days exploring this part of the smokies and this campground made for a great little Basecamp.

Now called Little River Campground, absolutely wonderful!

Husband and I wanted to get away and found this campground- it is such a gem! You can't see it well from the road, but there is a huge sign out by the road. Trust it! You're in the right place. You drive across a small bridge across the Little River when you get to the campground, but it can handle big rigs. We saw many massive Class A campers while we were here for 6 nights. We pull a 30 ft travel trailer and used a pull through site- very large spot as far as rv sites go. They have back in spots for campers and tents literally on the bank of the river and you're allowed to swim, play, tube, etc in the river at your own risk. Camp store has firewood and a few essentials, but they don't sell propane. We got ours filled at the Tractor Supply in Alcoa, TN nearby. They had crafts and hayrides while we were here. Wifi is free but not great. Verizon cell service was good enough at 3 bars the whole time. No on-site laundry services, so we had to go into town to use laundromat (nearby town of Townsend is adorable but no laundromat). The grounds offer tent, cabin, and rv sites with various levels of electric, water, cable and sewer access. Our site had 30amp, water, sewer and cable. Nice and level site, large fire pit, sturdy plastic and metal picnic table and large beautiful mature trees. The bathhouse is seriously impressive and is, by far, the nicest campground bathhouse I've ever used! One of my favorite features was random and I never knew I was missing it in my life until now.. the bathrooms have strong AC pumping right into each bathroom, making everything nice and cool when you come in from the hot campsite.. wonderful! Good view of the mountains in the distance and minutes away from Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance. This is a wonderful find!

Where the locals go...

Smaller than the state park campgrounds yet still close to Cades Cove. This pet friendly spot will feel like home shortly after you arrive. Note that some of the tent sites have water and electric and others do not - you have to let them know when you reserve your spot. There are a few nice trails you can access nearby. Tuckaleechee Caverns is a nice side trip from here also. Don't feel like cooking one night check out the Trailhead Trout and Steakhouse - Great Blackened Trout!
