    The ultimate adventure guide

    Tent time in Cades Cove.
    Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known as the salamander capital of the world, making the Smoky Mountain story "Salamander Ball" a perfect campfire story!
    Cades Cove Campground offers plenty of shade on a hot summer day.
    After wrapping up a Smoky Mountain sunset on Cades Cove Loop, get the campfire started and relax as night falls.
    Reading the Salamander Ball under a Smoky Mountain starry sky is a memory they'll never forget.
    With over 150 sites, Cades Cove Campground offers a variety of spots to choose from.
    Cades Cove Campground in the spring.
    Cades Cove Campground has multiple restrooms, but none of the campgrounds in the park offer shower houses.
    Campsites in Cades Cove offer solitude while also giving you the security of being close to others. Waves to your neighbor and a chat as you pass by can make the campground itself feel like a community.
    While camping in Cades Cove, be certain to store food properly and dispose of trash in the proper trash cans. After all, you are in bear country.
