This place exists purely for the location at the end of the Deep Creek tubing run. We had reserved an RV spot, but ended up leaving. The spots are literally about 5-7 feet apart. If you only need a parking spot, this place is fine. If you are looking for anything else, I would stay elsewhere.

The location was right next to Deep Creek Park. We camped directly on river, manager Zach was great met us as we pulled in to check us in, escorted us to our site. Work campers were great people to talk and hang around fire with. Bathrooms were updated and very clean throughout the busy Memorial Holiday weekend. We were able to rent tubes from them. I would highly recommend staying here. Camp sites were very close to each other but worth the river view.

The location is great, just about 5 miles from Bryson City and the Deep Creek entrance to the National park is just steps from the campground. They are friendly and have raft rentals onsite. You can raft down Deep Creek which flows right behind the campground. They have campsites that are on the creek. So you can raft right to your site, a great plus especially if you have kids with you. Campground is one way in and one way out.
There is a Camp store onsite but small with older stock (DG and Ingles are not far away). It does have limited supplies. Apparently, operated as a separate enterprise. Surprised they did not have a much in the way of branded apparel or nick-knacks. Which we love to buy. But it did have the basics.
Now the cons. First, Bath houses were clean but are small, in every way. No hooks in the shower area, which are tight. There is a typical plastic chair in each of the two stalls to place your shower items. The restroom portion is also very small and tight. Not sure they were ever really cleaned during our stay. Notice posted asked for everyone to help keep clean. The trash was not emptied and those needed necessities were not restocked stocked over a full holiday weekend but they worked. Gravel is lacking in the creekside sites, if it rains it will be muddy. So be prepared.
Dust, oh and how much dust? A lot in our opinion. Guests nor staff in golf carts respected other campers to drive slow to prevent the dust storms. We had to stop and wash our rig on our way out.
A plus, there are Full Hook-ups 20/30/50 amp, Water, Cable are available and are on shorter pedestals as well as sewer connections. No dump station onsite that we are aware of. The national park is near by with a campground and dump station, not sure of the charge. WiFi is only at the campstore.
Overall we had a great time. We did have friends with us who rented one of the available "cabins," which actually is a older mobile home which did have a great back porch looking over the creek. It needed a little TLC inside but functioned as needed for our visit..
In the end this campground was a bit expensive for the offerings but we all decided we would return...

What a wonderful and inviting place to spend a family vacation. Our family spent a month at Smoky Mountain Campground tubing daily, visiting the store for ice cream and sitting by the fire! The owners and camp hosts are kind, caring and very helpful! This campground has definitely become our favorite spot!

My husband and I had hiked from the cabin we rented on Lollis Rd to Deep Creek then hiked the Deep Creek, Indian Creek, Loop Trail, and Juney Whank trails to see the waterfalls. On our way hiking back to the cabin we decided on the 95 degree day that we needed some ice cream to help us on our journey. We stopped by and each got a waffle cone then sat in rocking chairs listening to the local residents talk about the area. Wonderful place to stop and the staff were warm and friendly.
