Sonia - I found out about this campground at the visitor center in Gatlinburg, and I camped there in April 2003.

Campground Review

What an awesome campground! I am from Argentina, and I've been camping the last 10 years in the Patagonia, an incredible place in the south of Argentina. Elkmont is the only campground that reminded me of my home country. It is the only campground where I really felt in touch with nature, feeling totally disconnected from the human and electronic world. I loved it and I will certainly return. I wouldn't mind if they raise the price to stay in order to preserve the national park.
