Shoestring Creek Campground

Cabin is in a beautiful spot, but at night the woods go dead silent. Around 2am, we heard what sounded like footsteps circling the cabin. Thought maybe it was an animal, but it kept pacing. Didn’t sleep much.

Absolutely cannot say enough good things about Shoestring Creek Campground and the kindness we were shown by Rhonda and Jay, the owners. My friends and I were deep into a long day of road-tripping and adventure, trying to find dispersed camping near Gatlinburg when things took a turn—our vehicle got completely stuck. For over an hour and a half, we tried everything to get ourselves out, and honestly, we were just about ready to give up hope.||Enter Rhonda and Jay—two of the most genuine, down-to-earth people we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not only did they help us get unstuck (which already felt like a miracle), but they welcomed us with open arms and let us stay the night at their beautiful campground. Their hospitality turned what could’ve been a miserable night into one of the

This was hands down the best place we ever stayed for rustic accommodations. If you are looking for great accommodations in a very private retreat in the woods this is it! Wonderful beds, great fire pit, bathhouse clean and accessible, and fully rocked front store. If we lived in the area we would return every year! Has accommodations for large groups and small families like ours. I wish we could return soon!

My husband and I stayed here at the "Bambie" cabin back in 2020. Out experience was incredible! The cabin is very secluded and private, however it's only a short drive into nearby towns for food & activities. There is so much beautiful nature surrounding the cabin on every side, and the views on the property are breathtaking. The owners of the property were friendly and helpful. We look forward to coming back here!

The best campsite ever. I almost hate sharing this because I didn't want to share our special spot lol. It's secluded (literally feels like Backcountry Camping), wide life everywhere ( we woke up to the sounds of elks), the owner was so nice and inviting, plenty of hiking area, and even a bath house down a short trail! If you're looking to get away from the crowd and enjoy nature, definitely give this place a chance!
