Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

At Smokemont Campground in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails to explore. Or you can just spend the day relaxing by the river that rins through it. For the mobility challenged Smokemont Campground is a pretty good one to visit. The roads are smooth and the sites are easy to navigate. The downside is that there are not a lot of handicap accessible activities in the Smokemont Campground. On our June 2018 trip to the Appalachian Mountains we spent night nights camping at the Smokemont campground in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This beautiful national parks campground is located on the eastern (North Carolina) side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Follow along with as as we journey across the South and back visiting so many beautiful different campsites! Come along with us on our fantastic trip!

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
