Elkmont Campground

Elkmont Campground is the largest campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park with 220 sites (200 tent/RV and 20 walk-in), located 8 miles from Gatlinburg at 2,150 feet elevation with direct access to Little River and Jakes Creek for fishing and swimming.

The campground offers paved driveways, gravel tent pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and flush toilet restrooms, though there are no electric, water, or sewer hookups available.

Anglers should note that a Tennessee or North Carolina fishing license is required, and the nearest RV dump station is 6 miles away at Sugarlands Visitor Center.
