Customer Reviews
Great campsites (we saw 3 with fire rings) right next to a stream - just bring a saw to cut firewood (we left a large pile). Cables in place to hang your food - though only animals we had getting into things were small mice. Easy hike in and out from Smokemount, we came down from the AT.
Large, beautiful spot with plenty of places for a hammock right on the Creek.
Very wet and no fire wood....
