Lovely sound of the Tennessee river system right nearby. Nice place but lots of people coming in and out after quiet time. Popular hiking place.

What an amazing place. I wish I would have stayed longer. The river next to my spot was just perfect. All other campers were very respectful. I will return.

Very nice area to camp. Not the absolute best for kids- not much to do except explore (which is fine by me) trails were closed though.

We will definitely be back and enjoy a relaxing weekend!

Good camp sight. The only one with electricity. Close to bath house but a little too close to the main camp road.
