Located eight miles from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Elkmont Campground is the largest and busiest campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  At an elevation of 2,150 feet, the area enjoys a moderate climate, characterized by mild winters and hot, humid summers.<h2>Recreation</h2>
The Little River runs through the campground offering visitors the option to camp waterfront. Campers can enjoy high-quality backcountry fishing in the cool waters of the Little River and countless other streams and rivers that snake through the mountains. 
<p>
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a hiker's paradise, with over 800 miles of maintained trails ranging from short, leg-stretchers to strenuous treks, with a number of those trails easily accessible from Elkmont Campground.  The nearby and popular Laurel Falls Trail leads to a spectacular 80-ft. waterfall. 
</p><p>
Hiking and fishing are not the only reasons for visiting the Smokies: Picnicking, wildlife viewing and auto touring are popular activities. 
</p><p>
With around 1,500 bears living in the park, it's not uncommon for visitors to spot one. From the big animals like bears, deer, and elk, down to microscopic organisms, the Smokies are the most biologically-diverse area in the world's temperate zone. The park is a sanctuary for a magnificent array of animal and plant life, all of which is protected for future generations to enjoy. 
</p><p>
The park also holds one of the best collections of log buildings in the eastern United States. Over 90 historic structures, including houses, barns, outbuildings, churches, schools and grist mills have been preserved or rehabilitated in the park.
</p><h2>Facilities</h2>
<p>Elkmont Campground has 200 tent / RV campsites with paved driveways, gravel tent pads, fire rings, and picnic tables.  Although most sites will accommodate tents or RVs, extreme slope or length of driveway make certain sites more suitable for tents than RVs.

Campers on these beautiful wooded sites will have a short walk from their parking area to their tent pad.<br></p>
