Cataloochee Group Campground

Great settings right on the creek

One of the best places to camp in the Smokies for large group. Very clean area. Bathroom are clean. Saw bear and Elk here this past summer. Good prices also. They have plenty of picnic tables at each site. Also a grill and firepits also. Just beautiful. Close to river, historic buildings, trails and wild life. Great fishing also at the river

We've been camping here for nearly 20 years as a family. We've seen a lot of changes, both good and bad. Camp site #3 at the group camp ground has a very strange layout, and the fire pit resembles that of a hobo fire. You also cannot move the table to fit under your shelter. The other two sites do not seem to suffer from these issues, just camp site #3. We've also had trouble with the camp hosts in the past, even though this time our host (Roy) was very nice and never forced any silly made up rules on us. Of course we will go back because we love it there, but it will not be at camp site #3.
