Look Rock Campground

I really liked this campground. It was small and the camp sights weren't packed tightly together. It's located just inside the Smokey Mountains National Park and easy to get to the other areas in the park. We had cell service at our sight the whole time were there. We arrived when the leaves were beginning to change color. I could see many rhododendron bushes throughout the campground. I could jus... I really liked this campground.

I could just imagine what a beautiful sight it would be in the Spring.

Very nice NPS campground at 2,400’ elevation. Paved roads and sites. Good spacing. Mostly level. Electricity and water are available at some. I was at site 46 and liked it. Lots of dirt in the water at sites with water. Bring a filter. My dog was unimpressed. Most of Loop A is close to Foothills Parkway so there is some road noise, but commercial traffic is prohibited so it is inconsequential. The... Very nice NPS campground at 2,400’ elevation.

The campground has deciduous trees that provide shade without making it gloomy. Running water and flush toilets are at the very clean restrooms. Surprisingly, I saw no deer or bears anywhere at or near the campground, not even a squirrel. No birds to speak of either, probably because my visit was between migrations. Look Rock lookout (approximately 2,700’ elevation) is a short hike away. If you’d rather drive there, it’s just a mile down the road. Verizon has zero service but driving the Foothills Parkway towards Townsend, TN takes you to a number of overlooks with service. During my two nights there, I saw few staff but occasionally patrolling rangers. It felt very safe. I will definitely return.
