We rented cabin A27 and a spot for a camper. The porch on the cabin was on the river with amazing views. We spent most of our time at the cabin on the porch fishing or relaxing in the swing.
Due to an unforeseen accident while riding, a family member had to go to the hospital in Tennessee for a couple of nights and we had to extend our stay. Everyone was very helpful and extremely accommodating. They truly went above and beyond to help us.

This is a very nice place to stay!
Power and sewer , water hook ups all in one spot and in the correct location!
Wifi and cable tv . Level spots , concrete patio on each spot . River is just behind your camper in the river spots .
Perfect for kayaking there is plenty of take out and put in spots along the tuck river .
Clean and staff very nice!
Have stayed here multiple times and never been disappointed!

Never again! Was charged extra for lights in the gazebo and it wasn't even wired up...then moved to a site beside where the workers lived...and had no privacy at all. Could not get any sleep because they were in and out all night long banging doors. Also there were roaming dogs that barked all night. Do not recommend for a peaceful get a way

The owner/manager was very accommodating last minute which was great-hence the 2 stars. It could be a fantastic campground but needs some attention. The playground had a broken swing, a rope swing that was almost completely unraveled and a broken baby swing and flat basketballs. The bathroom plumbing in the women’s room was not even connected so water poured on the floor from the sink, and the shower stalls and camp sink were both very dirty. The quiet hours were supposed to be from 11-6, but sometime in the middle of the night (my guess was it was past midnight), I awoke in my tent to several

Staying til Sunday. Can't believe how many empty sites there are here. Maybe a lot of them will fill up by this evening. Nice flat sites easy to set up and a pool and several different playgrounds for all the kids. Bathrooms with showers and country store. They have a lot of cabins to rent and a ton of camper cabins to rent. And movies to rent also. Full hook ups. Oh and they have a pavilion for groups to have a cook out.

The location was great, close to activities. The campground needs a lot of maintenance done. The grounds need to be mowed, bushes and trees trimmed. The buildings need to be pressure washed and painted. Bath houses need to be totally re-done very old. Too bad it's not kept up has a lot of potential . Would probably not to choose to stay here again.

Stayed here last week with a church group of about 50 people while doing some Mission work in Cherokee. My experience is from the perspective of the one in charge of cooking and meals for our group. Our group had rented their kitchen space and because we don't live in the area we relied on them to adequately convey the facilities which were woefully misrepresented.
BEFORE ARRIVAL: Called 1 week prior to confirm space and storage availability as I was bringing as much food with us as possible. I was informed that from my original call several months prior some refrigerators were no longer

Well...um I really like the direct tv that they give you. The price to stay here is very reasonable. However, my biggest complaint is the bathrooms. Especially the women's. You are very vulnerable. The door is not allowed to shut, and the showers are directly at the end where anyone that peeks in can see. They clearly do not clean them often, because the same bugs that were stuck to the shower floor yesterday, are now joined with new dead ones today. Also mud, mud everywhere. If you're using an RV, just be ready for a muddy experience. People live in this campsite, which usually

This is my second time staying at Ela Campground. Each stay was a week long and enjoyable. I resided in the cabins, which run around $300 for 7 days. The cabins have; two bunk beds, mini fridge/freezer, microwave, counter, DirecTV, A/C, heater, and many power outlets. The mattresses are relatively comfortable and the cabins have a decent view of mountain ranges. They're not by the river so no need for worrying about Mosquitos, nor are they by walnut trees so no need to fear loud thumps as one nature-hating reviewer posted. While I agree about the whole "trailer park vibe" somewhat

They really should just take the word "campground" out of their name. As an rv Park they would probably be OK at least 2,maybe even 3 star. How ever for tent camping this is by far the most ridiculous place I've ever seen. The only designated tent sites they have are either right on the pool in a small grassy area, or wedged up against the road. All the camp sites are extremely close together. Due to the river the mosquitos here were HORRIBLE. I got half a dozen bites before I was able to open the trunk and get the spray. The worst part about our experience was the

My husband and I needed a quick getaway...we loved Ela Campground. We stayed in a RV for two nights. It was super clean and everything in working order. We only had to bring a change of clothes and toiletries. It was so fun fishing off the deck from our RV. The staff was friendly and the bathrooms were super clean.

Are you gonna just stand there & whistle Dixie or Go to Ela Campground and have some fun? Best Camping anywhere in the Smokies! If you will forget a few who say this Camp is not their cup of tea, take it from a former BSA Scoutmaster (Eagle Scout) / Royal Ranger Commander, " Best darn Camping & Fun for the whole family" Simply the Best Campground Owners in the Smoky Mountains. My hats off to Gary & Paula Bishop ! Hi to Garth & Buddy, hard working fellows keeping the camp running smooth with maintenance upgrades, repairs & improvements . And Hi to Ken & Kristy,

At first sight I was a l ittle skeptical due to the layout and obvious permanent residents, but then when we saw that we could not get leveled on the assigned site and called the office in hopes someone would answer, Kristy , the owner came right down to the site and assigned us a another site that was large enough for our camper. The after hour customer service was awesome !!! Also, the day we left, I asked for late check-out and again, no problem here, and they didn't even charge us for it !!! Loved this campground and will be back !!!
