Unfortunately, I camp every summer with my kids (4 and 2) at Balsam Mountain Campground, which does NOT have showers and is literally a mountain top.

But there aren't really treacherous spots (or more so than any other campground) at the campsite.

Balsam is AWESOME in the heat of summer since it stays so cool (over 5000 feet).

Deep Creek is also amazing in summer for its swimming.

Fwiw, I'd take special precaution for weather. The Smokies are high and get cold pretty quick (but you know this living in Asheville).

Wherever you go, this map is a great investment and one of my most precious possessions!

The best resource I know is a book called "The Cades Cove Story" by. Randolph Shields. Mr. Shields was born in the Cove and taught at Maryville College. (This book is probably what /u/magiccitybhm is referring to.)

There is a map in the book that shows the location of residences, churches, schools, etc.
