Solitude lovers and RVs will like here. The nearest place for outdoor activities is Abrams Creek. This is also the far western edge of the park, in a streamside forest of hemlock and white pine. It is small, rustic and favored by locals. Campers can walk from their tent and go fishing in Abrams Creek.
Hiking trails abound in the area and even when full, it is still quiet.
It can get hot here on mid-summer days. That is when campers go tubing or swimming in the long, lazy pools of Abrams Creek. This year-round family campground is always full on summer weekends and busy during the week. The shady sites are a little close and with so many campers in a given area, it has a go-go feel. And campers do go, mostly around in circles on their bicycles, pedaling the 11-mile Cades Cove Loop Road.
