Summary
Fees apply, and sites include picnic tables, fire rings with grills, drinking water, and flush toilets, but no RV hookups. The campground is forested and serene, nestled along the Little River, ideal for trout fishing and listening to babbling water. It’s a short drive to Laurel Falls and popular trails like the Jakes Creek and Little River trails. Best visited from late spring through fall, the cool mountain air, lush surroundings, and historic Elkmont district nearby make it a peaceful yet adventure-filled experience.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
