Ballyhoo Family Campground

We stayed here 4 nights & really enjoyed the peace & quiet. This is not a fancy park/resort, but has everything you need. For $45/night, you have full hookups & can relax & watch the deer lay under the trees or run across the field. There are a few ducks that stay near the pond & if you’re lucky, you can see wild turkeys. The owners are really friendly & will help you if needed. We’d stay here again if in the area or if we need a stop along the way to another campground.

I'm writing this review while we're here in our Class C for a few days. It's very peaceful and a shame that no one else is taking advantage of this nature spot. We've walked around the grounds which are very nice and spacious. We had to put a couple blocks under our wheels, but who hasn't done that before? It's not a resort but a beautiful nature spot. We use our own shower, so I can't comment on that. The store is a bit unorganized but, the owners were great to sit and chat with. There are no "permanent" RVs here. So, if you're a nature lover this is your spot. Oh yeah, unless you listen real hard you won't hear any traffic only the wind. It's beautiful here and if we ever come this way again we will definitely stop in.

We recently stayed at this campground and overall had a wonderful experience! Upon arrival, we noticed the campground sign was a bit hard to see due to some overgrown branches and a bit of sun fading over the years. Once we found it though, pulling in and parking was super easy.

The owners were extremely kind and welcoming, even letting us borrow a couple of fishing poles so our two boys could fish in the nearby pond. They each caught a fish right away — such a special memory! The campground itself was very quiet, peaceful, and clean, and we loved watching all the deer that came through every morning.

There are a couple of areas that could use some attention — the playground equipment is quite old and outdated, and the nature trail shown on the map is overgrown and not really usable at the moment.

That said, the friendliness of the owners and the overall relaxing atmosphere made it a really enjoyable stay. With just a few updates — trimming the branches around the sign, refreshing the sign itself, updating the playground, and either maintaining or removing the trail from the map — this place would be absolutely perfect.

We’d definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway.

The fact that it’s just a 1 minute drive from Cumberland Mountain State Park where there is a lovely restaurant, plenty of playgrounds, hiking, boating and additional fishing made for a 5 star location as well.

This camp ground is a hidden gem in the rural area of Crossville Tn.
The camp has a rustic theme and absolute beautiful lush green camp grounds.

Plenty of room for 42 ft plus size 5th wheels or class A,s

The camp is peaceful and quite, although it has amenities for young kids.

Catch and release fishing ponds.
Each space have their own fire rings.
30 , 50 amp, fresh clean water, swere hookups and dump station.
Close to town for groceries, close to Buc-ee's ( 8 miles)
2 miles from Cumberland Mountain State Park, another gem of a park.
Ballyhoo Campground is a family friendly place.
The owner is very nice and works hard by herself to keep the camp looking great.
Whether you're vacationing, exploring the area or moving to the area, I recommend this rv camp and will be coming again to stay.
Thank you Doris for you hospitality.

Honestly,I never saw any signs. If it was like the small rusted private property sign hiding in the bushes at the end of the road ,with no way to back up , like the one for your residence then no i didn't see a sign. I apologized for going down that road and you proceeded with an attitude. I'm not a social media person at all but after that I thought it was necessary to let people know people like you with that attitude doesn't deserve their business. I don't feel like I'm entitled but I do think my kids and I deserved better than that. Also, my residence isn't in a public campground.. maybe place a private property sign as you enter the road not at the end. It was an honest mistake but I'll apologize again.. sorry my children and I visited your campground.
