I mean, it's the most popular campground in the most popular national park in the country. If Cades Cove were a park in and of itself it would be the 11th most visited park. We were here the first week of April, so it was busy but not insane. Campground was about 3/4 full. The Cove was prone to huge traffic jams, so we just parked the car and hung out in a meadow on a blanket for an hour till it died down. The campground has real bathrooms with water and they're clean and stuff. But, you know, it's just a typical crowded campground in a national park.
