Deep Creek Picnic Shelter — Attraction in Bryson City

We LOVED our day at Deep Creek picnic pavilion!! We reserved it for our recent vacation at Great Smoky Mountains. We traveled from Texas and we were total of 4 families and we all had a blast! We did the Deep creek trail loop and hiked to the Junes Whank Waterfalls, we did fishing and tubing. Was awesome to have our own restrooms, was very convenient to have that easy access and were very clean. It also has four charcoal grills, and it can accommodate up to 70 people at 15 covered picnic tables, plus it does has electricity! We also had our own parking area and was perfect for our four vehicles. Another thing that we really liked is that it has a huge green open area in the back that is kind of protected by the surrounding trees, so the little ones were able to run, play and do games and we didn’t had to worry about the cars passing by or big trails were they could get lost or animals or anything like that and we were able to supervise them while making lunch, etc. We reserved it for the whole day, from 7 am until 8 pm. Definitely, on a busy summer day with so many visitors, it was worth to reserve it for our big family, it made a such a difference to have the convenience, comfort and of course, so much fun!

The bathrooms are clean and have an adequate number of stalls. However, like most if not all they are not heated and do not have...

This place is great and we use it for family reunions and birthday parties a lot. We reserve it well in advance for a very inexpensive price. The only reason I'm not giving 4 or even 5 stars is because of parking. The few spots in front of the pavilion should be for the pavilion use but they're not designated as such by any signs. For that reason a lot of our guests have to find parking and walk to the party which can be a very long walk. If that situation was taken care of and you don't mind walking, it's a...
