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?

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.

We have stayed here multiple times. We just love the park. It is well kept, very quiet and the beautiful Lewis Smith Lake. The sites are spacious and not close to each other. The bathrooms are clean and not a far walk. Lots of trees for shade, and having full hookups is awesome. We will definitely be back again.

The park has plenty of trees and campsites are spacious. The campground hosts were friendly and helpful. The Ave Maria grotto is a good place to visit. we enjoyed the flea/antique markets.

Arrival & check-in was easy & pleasant. Got set up plugged in & turned on air conditioner & power shut off. Turned out the 50 amp plug had problems. We put adapter on for 30 amp & ran on that all weekend. Nice quiet weekend, (other than rain storms) Our group wanted to use the pavilion for our potluck dinner but found it wasn't open till after Memorial Day. (Will have to organize dates differently next time.) Main cons are lots of poison ivy! Plenty of armadillos to keep the pets entertained. Good hosts, (note they are being forced to follow all rules of the parks!) Keep your tags in the window & stay off the grass! All in all a nice stay, we like the campground!
