Elkmont in Smokey Mountain National Park is a well maintained primitive campground. The drive there is a winding mountain road but with the autumn leaves changing colors, it is quite beautiful. The camp sites have a level tent pad, nice fire ring with adjustable grate and are spaced far enough apart so you aren't right on top of your neighbor. The rest rooms are warm but you have to provide towels for drying your hands.
There are bear proof trash receptacles throughout the campground. We didn't see any bears during our stay. I would camp at Elkmont Campground again. It would be nice to have showers, but there are none. Oh well, as a fellow camper stated, we just have to be "Stinky in the Smokies".
There are many great hiking trails nearby too plus it is close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for a touristy experience if you like that sort of thing.
