Cataloochee campground Smokey Mountains NP
For those that have been there; how accessible is this campground with a 28' TT? Some of my research seems to indicate there is a section of road that might be questionable.

We've camped there several times in our 19' Scamp and have seen larger rigs in the campground. The primary access is by the eleven mile Cove Creek Road of which roughly three miles is unpaved. Its a winding, narrow. mountain road and some of the dirt sections are wide enough for only a single vehicle.
My suggestion would be to make alternate camping arrangements for this trip but take your car or truck without the camper and visit the Valley. Then make your own decision as to whether or not you'd feel comfortable towing a rig the size of yours to the campground. If you make the trip in, you may notice most of the 'veterans' will toot their horn a couple of times as they approach each blind curve. Enjoy your visit, its a beautiful area.
