Solo Camping at Cades Cove Campground - Great Smoky Mountains National Park

I had a great time solo camping at Cades Cove Campground in Great Smoky Mountains National Park! Cades Cove is located near Townsend Tennessee, and is often referred to as "the peaceful side of the Smokies". I camped at Cades Cove in order to bike Cades Cove Loop Road on Wednesday, which is vehicle free during the summer. While here I also had the opportunity to explore Crib Gap Trail, Vee Hollow, Meigs Creek Trail, Pine Oak Nature Trail, and Anthony Creek Via Ledbetter Ridge. I used this solo camping trip as a chance to work towards completing the Smoky Mountains 900 Miler Challenge.
