Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Balsam Mountain Campground

The Balsam Campground is located just north of the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 458. The campground is rather small and off the beaten path offering some of the parks highest elevations, 5,400 feet. The higher elevation is a relief from the summer valley temperatures.
