Elkmont Campground Access

Elkmont Campground is the largest campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park with 220 campsites offering direct access to the Little River for fishing and recreation.

The campground features flush toilets, potable water spigots, and a camp store, though there are no electric hookups, showers, or dump station on-site (nearest dump station is 6 miles away at Sugarlands Visitor Center).

Multiple trailheads including the Little River Trail are adjacent to the campground, making it an excellent base for both water-based and hiking activities in the park.
