We had a wonderful time. We carried in several gallon jugs of water to last for three days.

Overall campground is very clean. A bit frightening at night with animals walking in the forest located right behind the campground. A few campers we had to shine our flashlights to scare away the animals. The campsite is very isolated, so keep that in mind if you camp here.

We spent a lovely peaceful night at Haypress! Because no fires are allowed, we brought some string lights which helped with the camping ambiance. There's a substantial walk to the campground, so pack light! The sites are sizeable, each with a picnic bench and a flat pad for tents. It's nice the campground is off the main trail to the beach a ways, so you don't encounter any of the crazy day-hike crowds near the campsites.

Nice campground, especially for $5 a night. Would’ve been nice if the picnic table wasn’t upside down because the legs were rotted. I would’ve been pissed if I had brought my family.

the bathroom facility is atrocious. At least add some chemicals to alleviate the smell like in regular port a potties. You are literally sitting on a pile of crap with no relief from the smell. Might as well give us shovels to dig a hole and bury the crap like we did in the Army.

I love Haypress Campground. We walked from the Tennessee Valley parking lot to our campsite on a late Thursday after work, pitched our tents, enjoyed dinner, and settled in for the night. The next morning after coffee and breakfast (my favorite time at camp) we packed up and hiked out. The sites are protected from the wind and well-spaced from one another. We each brought about 3 liters of water on a cool (~68 deg F) day and that was sufficient. I would have brought more on a warmer day and/or if we did an extended hike. I highly recommend camping at Haypress!
