I did not see any, but we stored ours in sealed containers in our camper van. This is directly from the website: • Caution: Bears and other wildlife frequent the area. All food and equipment used to prepare and store food must be kept in a sealed vehicle or camping unit of solid, non-pliable material AT ALL TIMES when not in use. All scented items, as well as all water containers MUST be stored. Dispose of garbage promptly in dumpsters provided. Unattended or improperly stored coolers, food and/or scented items may be impounded by campground staff. Violators are subject to fines. • Dispose of garbage promptly in bear-proof dumpsters. This rule is strictly enforced!
Camped n Cades Cove, Elkmont and Cosby many time but never Smokemont. Driven thru a few times but it just never grabbed me nd made me want to camp there. No good reason other than it just never held on to my interest.
We liked it better than Cades Cove because it wasn’t as crowded, and the spaces were more spread apart. That is one of the great things about the Smokies, every site is a little different. Something for everyone’s preferences and styles of camping.
Another great video!
Thank you very much. Should have our hike to Mt. LeConte coming out in the next couple weeks.
Do they have bear boxes to store our food?
