Camping in the National Park can take visitors back to a primitive time, while still offering the amenities that modern life necessitates. A total of ten campgrounds can be found in the park. All of these major camping areas offer cold running water, flush toilets, fire grills and tables. There are no hookups available in the park and most of the sites are closed from the beginning of November until early Spring. Check the listing below for operation schedules. Fees for camping range from $12.00 - $20.00 per night. Spaces at Cades Cove, Elkmont, and Smokemont must be reserved from May 15 thru October 31 through the National Park Reservation Service at 1-800-365-2267. You can make reservations up to five months in advance. The remaining seven campgrounds are first-come, first-served only. Enjoy your outdoor experience in the Smokies and please remember – leave nothing behind but your footprints.
