Chilhowee Campground

The site was clean and the campground was beautiful. Can't wait to come back again. Thankful for grounds keepers that care about how it looks.

I loved it here, it was truly off the beaten path with amazing views. This campground is literally on top of a mountain. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the pictures but the elevation of the campground is much higher than I would have expected. We spent 4 days here and I don’t have a critique. We spent Sunday night there and the park had pretty much cleared out but us. My only recommendation is bring more lights than you think, it was very dark with us being the only ones in the park and admittedly we got a little scared because it was too quiet haha. I didn’t have service (T-Mobile) but my husband did (Verizon) just as a heads up.

Bathrooms need to be checked more often. Men’s restroom (loop F) had no toilet paper from Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Other than that it was a good experience.

A really beautiful well kept camp ground with trails surrounding it.

We throughly enjoyed our stay .it was great weather lots of wildlife if you know where to look .things i dont like the ocoee district is not managed as well or kept as well as the the tellico district never have understood that its all cherokee national forest .to much emphasis is put on the ocoee river and its rafting always has and im sure always will .now that that the whitewater center has burnt which the fisherman had to anity up for by way of having to pay to park on the side of the road just to fish i would say they tryin to figure out how to get all the people that hike fish or use the cherokee forest for any reason other than rafting to flip the bill again to pay to rebuild it .all said camp ground was great bathrooms could be cleaner .host was great .only concern was we seen people coming to campground to use the showers that were not campers and not necessarily the kind of people you would want to turn your back on i guess not leave anything loose that could be stold i dont think they need to be in there

The campsite was great. It was very level, only needed one block under each wheel on one side of the trailer and we were done leveling. The fall colors were spectacular and weather was cool and crisp. The scenery was outstanding. Most of the trails were easy to navigate. Some had not been kept up, maybe because it was the end of the season but there are a lot of trails. We enjoyed the trails the most.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary getaway. Campsites are well spaced and miles of hiking trails are interwoven into the campground, making it a nice family spot. Nothing too fancy and nothing lacking. It's a campground.

Was a wonderful week. The trail back to Benton Falls was as good as we remembered from 27 years ago.

The actual campsites and surrounding area were amazing! Completely secluded with beautiful scenery.

But the bathrooms were horrendous. They are not climate controlled, there were no lights over the showers, and there was no hand soap dispensers.

This campground is in a very beautiful spot and could be fabulous. Unfortunately, very little has been done to maintain it so it’s pretty basic and needs some loving repair. We talked with the long-time host and he said the NFS won’t budget any money for needed repairs and, despite his ability to do so, they won’t allow him to make the repairs, citing the need for NFS certified tradespeople. A sad situation. Several beautiful overlooks are covered with graffiti, again, because of a lack of funding for clean up and maintenance.
