Smokemont is a NP campground located in NC near Cherokee. We were able to camp here for 4 nights in the fall of 2020. The campground is an older one with limited services but really well kept and beautiful sites. It is close to the VC where there is an old farm to tour and a great place to watch elk. There are several hikes nearby and waterfalls to view. The towns of Cherokee and Bryson City are close where you have restaurants and other actives available. There is a stream that flows the length of the campground and some of the sites back up to the water. The cost per night was $30, less for senior pass holders.
