Elkmont Campground Access

Elkmont Campground Access provides entry to the largest frontcountry campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, located 8 miles from Gatlinburg with 220 campsites along the Little River and Jakes Creek.

The campground offers direct river access for fishing and swimming, with adjacent trailheads for hiking and nearby amenities including a camp store, though there are no electric hookups or shower facilities available.

Access is via Little River Road from Sugarlands Visitor Center; note that RVs and trailers cannot use the Metcalf Bottoms bridge route due to weight restrictions.
