Mile High Campground - A Mile Above The Rest
This is one of those places I don't even want to share, I just want to keep it all to myself
When you find that one perfect campground that you visit over and over again, it begins to feel like home. Mile High Campground is a place I would love to call home. In my opinion, Mile High offers the best views of the Smoky Mountains National Park. For 3 consecutive years, I've returned to this campground and each year the sites fill up earlier and earlier. This is one of those places I don't even want to share, I just want to keep it all to myself. The first visit in 2013- I called and got a same day reservation at site T-00 the best site I returned the next two years and camped at different sites and neither of those sites have topped T-00.
Plan on having zero cell service at this campground as it is in the middle of no where. And the perfect off the grid relaxation spot. Call ahead to make a reservation and be prepared to drive down a long dirt road before reaching the campground. Elk and bears frequent the campsites but it still remains an incredible campsite.
