The sites were very clean and well maintained. Park rangers went above and beyond to deal with a yellow jacket nest that we encountered and even left a full can of bee spray in case we needed it.

Our AHG loved the location, with the Visitor's Center and Snodgrass Hill a short hike away, and the helpfulness of the staff. We would like to come back to discover more about the WAC area, too! The downsides included a campsite with very long grass, dead trees, widow-maker limbs, and a hiking path that went right through the middle of it. Next time we will send someone in advance to scout a good site. Also, the only area for cover from strong storms is the pit privy at night.

Need better pictures on the website of the campsites. I had to make a trip to confirm the layout of the campsites and spacing.

Troop 4075 completely enjoyed our experience at Chickamauga. The instructional video got us started, and then we hiked the Bragg Trail. Our kids loved it! The staff was so accommodating and helpful as well.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
