View was great. Weather was good. Hosts were very pleasant. However the cellphone service in sites 83 & 84 with Verizon is zero. Walked to Bath house 4 to reach family. We normally stay in sites 59 & 60 with decent service. If the Biden Infrastructure money paid for new water and some electric connections it should have included cell service.

Hidden gem! Beautiful scenery. Moderate concern about no service because of emergency situations.

Excellent 10-day stay at site 17....quite, peaceful, and relaxing. Was able to attend Jackson County "Poke Sallet Festival" on Mother's Day weekend while camping at Salt Lick. Was also able to get a rare view of the Northern Lights on Friday May 10th from our campsite. Been camping at Salt Lick for years.

Beautiful waterfront sites. Lawn well maintained. We drove through Defeated Creek also but prefer this COE. Surprised by how quiet campground was on the weekend when it was 95% full. We visited Granville TN, a Mayberry type town.

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.
