Smoky Mountain Campgrounds
We are looking to head to the Smoky Mountains the first week of June. Is there a topic here somewhere with campground suggestions? We will be in a hybrid and like to stay in the more "rustic" sites...

We always head for ELKMONT Camp inside the Smoky Mtn Natl Park. This camp ground has no hookups and is very popular in the area. Great Ranger staff there... Water is available at the several Rest Room buildings around the camp grounds. Gatlinburg and Townsend are just a few miles away. We always go to Townsend for groceries and supplies. ELKMONT has a Gatlinburg TROLLY Stop on the grounds.
We love camping on the banks of the Little River that runs through the camp ground. Lots of hiking trails close by and wildlife. In JUNE you might still get to see some of the Synchronous fireflies that live in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. A real treat during MAY and perhaps JUNE.

You can find a similar camp ground experience with hookups just as you leave the NATL PARK entering TOWNSEND...
