I have not been there in a few years now but CADES COVE is a MUST see and camping there is great because you can then ride bikes on the 11-mile loop or drive it early when the animals are out!
We have also camped at Cosby and Balsam Mountain, which I believe are right in Smoky Mtn National Park or right on the edge.
ENJOY...it is beautiful there.

Thanks. We spent four nights at Elkmont and got to see a momma bear nursing her two cubs just up from our campsite!
