1. Swim in the River
When you come to stay with us here at Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground, one of the top things you will love doing is swimming in the Little Pigeon River right here at our campground.

2. Go Fishing
Another great activity you can enjoy when you come to stay with us is fishing! Fishing is among the best things to do in the Smoky Mountains, as there are tons of trout and other types of fish in the area’s streams, and fishing is allowed in most places, including right here at Uncle Jim's River Cove Campground. As long as you have a valid Tennessee fishing license and abide by all catch restrictions, you are free to enjoy an afternoon of fishing right here at our campground!
3. Stargaze at Night
Due to the low levels of light pollution in the Smokies, you can often enjoy clear views of the starry sky at nighttime. This can be an excellent opportunity to spend time stargazing, from spotting various constellations to simply admiring the clear views of the stars. You can even bring a telescope along with you to get even closer and clearer views!
4. Go Hiking
