Cataloochee Group Campground

Cosby, Tennessee

About

Cataloochee Group Camp in the remote and historic Cataloochee Valley, is surrounded by some of the most rugged mountains in the park, providing excellent hiking opportunities as well as ideal fishing conditions in the area's many creeks. Because of its relatively secluded location, visitors can enjoy the best that the Smoky Mountains National Park has to offer, without encountering crowds, which are sometimes common in other areas of the park. The three group sites can accommodate up to 25 guests. For groups larger than 25 people, all three sites may be reserved at once. The scenery at Cataloochee never disappoints, whether blanketed in bright spring wildflowers or vivid fall colors. The Smokies have the most biological diversity of any area in the world's temperate zone, and the park is a sanctuary for a magnificent array of animal and plant life, all of which is protected for future generations to enjoy. In particular, the Cataloochee area is known for the elk herd, which populates the valley in the spring and fall.
