About Chilhowee Campground - Loops A / B

Campground in Tennessee.

Nestled in the beautiful Smoky Mountains region of Tennessee, Chilhowee Campground offers RV enthusiasts an ideal basecamp for exploring one of America's most stunning natural landscapes. This public campground provides a welcoming atmosphere for travelers seeking authentic outdoor experiences without the crowds of overly commercialized facilities.

The location puts you in prime position to experience the natural wonders that make East Tennessee so special. The nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park stands as one of the most visited national parks in the country, offering countless hiking trails ranging from easy riverside walks to challenging mountain summits. Cades Cove, one of the park's crown jewels, sits within reasonable driving distance and rewards visitors with scenic loop roads, historic structures, and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The area's natural beauty extends beyond the national park, with numerous cascading waterfalls, scenic byways, and pristine mountain streams waiting to be discovered.

For those interested in local culture and history, the surrounding region presents plenty of opportunities. The Foothills Parkway provides breathtaking scenic driving with numerous overlooks and photo opportunities. Nearby towns offer local restaurants, shops, and services, ensuring you can resupply and experience genuine Tennessee hospitality. The area appeals to hikers, nature photographers, families seeking outdoor adventures, and anyone wanting to escape into a peaceful mountain setting.

Chilhowee Campground's two loops provide camping options for various RV sizes and preferences. The campground serves as a perfect launching point for day trips into the national park and surrounding areas. Whether you're planning an extended stay to thoroughly explore the region or a shorter stopover during a cross-country journey, this location offers that special combination of accessibility and authentic mountain character. The cooler mountain climate provides a refreshing contrast to other parts of the Southeast, making it particularly appealing during warmer months. Early mornings bring mist rising from the valleys, and evenings offer clear skies perfect for stargazing away from city lights.
