The popular fishing waters of Cataloochee Creek form one border of the campground, and a small feeder stream forms the other border. In between this is a flat, canopied with stately white pines.

The campground has warm days and cool nights during the summer months. It has an elevation of 2,600 feet. Six of the sites are along Cataloochee Creek. A few others border the small feeder stream. All campsites are roomy and placed amongst the pines. Bears are often sighted at this campground, so properly store your food.

Most RV campers shy away from this campground because the park service does not recommend that RVs make the long drive over rough gravel roads. A comfort station is located at the head of the campground next to the campground host. It has flush toilets for each sex and a cold water faucet that pours into a large sink. Another water spigot is at the other end of the campground.
