Corinth Recreation Area

This is a beautiful campground. We stayed in the "Yellowhammer" loop because the sites were larger and farther apart...offering a bit more privacy. Each site has full hook-ups which worked perfectly. Nestled among the forest trees, most sites had adequate shade. This is mostly an "R&R" type campground to visit, as there is not a lot of things to do nearby. But there's nothing wrong with that. Kick back and relax. The only suggestion I would offer would be to be sure and carry plenty of insect repellent and use it liberally. The chiggers, ticks, and (possibly no-see-ums) were out in force. Good hiking trails. Great place to visit and l will definitely return here when the weather starts getting a little cooler.

This place nickel and dimes you. You get only 50% off camping fee with an America the Beautiful pass, which is normal but this place has an electricity and sewer fee (the only place we've seen this in the 6 years of staying at COE campgrounds). Plus there is a $8.00 reservation fee (this is bull, since you do it yourself at recreation.org). The campground is pretty nice, but the fees make this a racket.

1st time camping at Corinth. We loved the quietness , the larger lots, the trees and the host/hostesses were great.
We will be back!

Paved, level sites that are shaded. Plenty of room between sites so you have a sense of isolation. The bathrooms and showers are adequate. There’s only one shower per bathhouse. Little to no cell coverage and no WiFi, if that’s important to you.

The staff and camp host are very pleasant and helpful. Available to answer your questions or tend to any issues.
The park is very wooded, most sites have shade for much of the day. Campsites are very clean and have full hook ups. Some sites are large enough to accommodate a large RV with a toad or a boat. There is an onsite boat ramp area.
The bathhouse is very clean and everything worked properly.
The paved, one-way road through the the grounds provides a nice place for children to ride bikes or scooters.
We camped with 4 grand-children 8 and under. They enjoyed having picnics at our sight, taking walks to find new wildflowers (But DO WATCH for the poison ivy), riding scooters and bike riding to the open areas in the evening to see the wildlife (deer with fawns, turkeys, armadillo with a baby and lots of birds).
Cell phone service is spotty (but that doesn't bother me. I remember quiet camping before cell phones).
There is no chemically treated swimming pool, however, they is have a huge, clear, beautiful natural pool named Smith Lake. Our grands loved it.

My only negatives:
The bath house could use a vent fan to help cool them during the evening hours. They can be quite warm and humid in the evening after everyone has showed.

Kudzu has started creeping into some campsites, overtaking beautiful native plants like oakleaf hydrangea and native trees. I know this is a national forest, but should we allow a non-native plant to overtake this beautiful natural area?

We have always love to camp at Corinth clean and well maintained

Corinth Recreation Area is a best kept secret for this area. Everything is absolutely beautiful and the RV sites are very spacious!

Clean campground. Nice site. Some water view. Very strict enforcement of parking regulations and adherence to check-in time. Poor WiFi connectivity with Verizon.

Nice campground. Very well kept by staff and volunteers. They seem to take extra time to clean and prepare the sites before your arrival. Every host we encountered was nice and helpful. Restrooms very clean. Nice boat launch area and swimming beach. Highly recommend.
