Cades Cove Campground Store and Bike Rental

I haven't been in the store in years... It was a small little store of my childhood memories. I stopped in today and surprise!!! They have FRESH HAMBURGERS.... WORD! A most tasty hamburger big chains can't make.

We took a graduation trip to Wears Valley and biking Cades cove was on our to do list! We are so glad we did it!! Woke up and got there for 7am when the park opened! Almost had the place to ourselves and the animals! We definitely recommend renting bikes if you are traveling! Such an easy process and rental experience

Even in torrential rains it's still a wonderful place to camp! Remember to be prepared with several tarps to keep some dry cover over your picnic table and tent. Buy wood for a fire at the IGA in Townsend for $6 a bundle because it cost $9 at the camp store!
Reservations are required for almost all of the sites.
The camp store does have some food items for lunch and dinner but very limited. Store hours are 9am to 5pm. A hot dog is $4.... The store sells a large variety of souvenirs and t-shirts etc.

Soft serve ice cream isn't my favorite, but it still hits the spot since they have a good variety of toppings. Staff was very friendly.

My husband and I have been coming to the smokies for several years now but for some reason we haven’t turned right at the end of Cades to check out this amazing camp store until now! We wear our smoky vacation shirts throughout the year and have always been bummed we haven’t had any good Cades cove shirts. Eventually, my husband had to drag me away. I kept piling shirts into my arms, captivated by the designs. You gotta stop here for the cutest shirts! Bring lots of money though, it does add up rather quickly.

Beautiful place to stay! Love all the nature trails for biking or walking whatever you prefer to do. Cades Cove wildlife preserve is something everyone should take the time to drive around. You will see all kinds of God's creatures !

They had old-school candy! We got pop rocks, a homemade huckleberry lollipop 🍭 and a dipped cone with chocolate and vanilla swirl soft serve ice cream. Oh, and I got a pack of candy cigarettes 😆 Everything was great!!!

The employees were very friendly, welcoming, & helpful. The store was very pretty, inviting & well stocked. My only complaint is that the prices seemed high

Nice little store for souvenirs , foods , snacks and drinks. Their veggie burger there was the best we ever had.It was so good that we bought it twice, once before starting the Cades cove loop and one after completing it. The store has a nice collection of gift items and souvenirs magnets, badges etc.

Very crowded but the service was good. The burger was great as we sat outside on a beautiful fall day. Parking was difficult because of the crowd.

Very nice shop! People were so nice letting our puppies come in. I carried mine... didn’t want him to knock over breakables. Hot food and cold ice cream was available. Great souvenirs, lots of variety! Parking was fine and the bathrooms wasn’t too bad.

Had a lovely day celebrating the lives that had been lost in battle to grant our freedoms we cherish and hold so dearly.

Great place to sight see wildlife. We rode the Cades Cove 11 mile bike trail, and it was worth it.

Our favorite drive in the Smokies!

Highly recommend! Riding bikes around Cades Cove was the most fun adventure on our entire trip. I'm not in the best shape and was concerned about being able to make it around Cades Cove on a non-electric bike. We went for it and I was able to make it around no problem with their bikes. Staff was extremely friendly, prices were fair. As a added bonus their ice cream is delicious and a perfect treat after a long ride

We did stop at the campground store, but just to get water (after biking Cades Cove) Plus the air conditioning felt wonderful! It seems ice cream is a big seller this time of year :-) I wouldof got some but I don't eat ice cream. There are all kinds of souvenirs for sale and snacks and drinks too! I'd never been in here before, but I bet I'll be back!

Awesome place to bike! Happy wild life everywhere. Be careful with the amount of cars queued up though. Make sure to visit every trail there is always a suprise on every bend!

I love this place we seen 5 bears a bob cat a coyote deer Turkey it's just awesome down there.

Great place to rent a bike and stock up on essentials before heading out on a hike or bike ride. Very nice place, the restrooms were very clean. We drove through the campground, very nice. There are lots of places to camp with either a tent or RV. Enjoy your time here, it is beautiful.

Surprisingly the day we visited Cades Cove motor vehicles were not allowed on the loop. Thankfully they had bikes to rent on site. Although my family and I did not plan for this adventure, it turned out to be the best day ever. The bikes were great and very well maintained. The gentlemen at the bike rental were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the beautiful weather and all the wildlife we saw. After the long ride, we visited the gift shop and purchased some souvenirs and ice cream. The ice cream was absolutely delicious! We look forward to visiting again.
