Great Smoky Mountain National Park

[kwchannell89]

Just curious if anyone hang in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park? If so, which campsite(s) were your favorite to hang at?

The Park had a tremendous storm over the 4th of July,,here is a list of campsites and roads that are still closed either by the storm damage or bears.

I haven't found many campsites I didn't like. Not sure of the water situation so maybe you might plan, if your backpacking up the creeks and hanging where you know there is water.

Double Island is my favorite hang spot in Great Smoky Mtn NP:

Ewker its good for two hangers easy, more if willing to bush it a bit. Wait till water is up and paddle almost to the trees.

I enjoy the sites out on Deep Creek Trail and Nolan Divide - sites 53, 54, 55 & 61 were all pretty nice (if you enjoy the trail less traveled). Take note though, 61 was on alert earlier this year.

Anyone ever hang at Mt. Sterling? May do a trip up there when I get my tarp.

I'd bet Sgt Rock has hung at Sterling, the BMT goes by there.

You need someone to split gas money with for the trip?
