Great Smokey Mountains Trip Elkmont

[Markiemark32]

Thought I would post other Great Smokey National Park pics, with the Dump station Picnic thread getting shut down! (Rather proud it made it five pages).

Early June, out of Elkmont Campground is the Synchronous Firefly event, best way to experience it, is to get a reserved camping spot at Elkmont, to enjoy the camping then leisurely stroll down to experience the fireflies!

Great photos! Interesting VW buses: was one pulling the Airstream?

Know ELKMONT well - thanks for more photos... We always try to get camping spot F8 next to where the Little River comes under the bridge. Our favorite spot... Have been to two or three Synchronous Firefly events over the years. It does get crowded at ELKMONT and the access roads during those times.
ELKMONT SITE MAP

Been going to the ELKMONT area both tent camping and with our RV Trailer since the mid 70s. Our favorite time to go is late SEP early Oct time frame.

Nice. We have that area on our list of goto camping spots...maybe 2016 or 2017. This year is Florida (Topsail and Disney ... leaving next week) and Yellowstone (July).
