Cades Cove Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Townsend · 161 sites
Cades Cove Campground sits inside one of the most visited spots in the entire National Park System, an open valley ringed by mountains and dotted with historic homesteads, churches, and a working grist mill. The famous 11-mile, one-way Cades Cove Loop Road circles the valley right past the campground, and it's one of the best places in the Smokies to spot black bears and white-tailed deer grazing the open fields at dawn and dusk.

Elkmont Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Gatlinburg · 211 sites
Elkmont is the largest campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, tucked along the Little River just outside Gatlinburg. It sits near the old Elkmont Historic District, a former logging and resort community whose weathered cabins still stand along the river. The campground is also the park's designated viewing area for the synchronous fireflies, the famous light show that draws a lottery-only crowd for about two weeks each late spring.
