Best Time to Camp at Cades Cove Group Campground
The mountain air here dances between seasons with an unpredictable grace. Summer days bloom warm and humid, perfect for early morning hikes before the afternoon heat settles into the valley. Winter arrives gently, painting frost on meadow grasses while maintaining surprisingly mild temperatures. But don't let the moderate climate fool you – mountain weather has a mind of its own, and afternoon thunderstorms can roll in without warning, transforming sunny skies into dramatic displays of nature's power.
Summer is warm, humid and crowded; peak season May–Oct can be busy.
Fall foliage and panoramic views make autumn a top season; reviews peak in fall.
Spring wildflowers, mild weather and positive reviews make spring attractive.
Open year-round but fewer activities and less favorable weather in winter.
