I have some great memories of Smokemount, including a black bear sharing my tent. Thanks for the comment! HI Bryan,

I recenlty camped at Smokemount, it was full, no I will say most state and private campgronds are way nicer, all have more to offer...But If you want seculusion Smokemount was great, but very different than back in the 70's, then it was busier..
