Paint Creek is well maintained and clean. Bill takes very good care of the grounds and bathrooms. The sites are well shaded and the picnic tables are large and sturdy. Beautiful views of the creek.

Wonderful sites. There are several water fill stations. The only downside is there is no dumpstation for Blackwater tanks.

Small, generally quiet with great campground host. Vault toilets could use a little help.

Paint Creek is one of my favorite places to stay. The campground host, Bill, is great and super friendly. He is one of the best features of the campground! Many of the campsites are right along the river, Bill takes great care of all the sites, constantly walks around and says hi! If you are new, it won't take him long to find you and welcome you. If you are a repeat customer, he goes out of his way to extend a warm greeting and make you feel right at home. We all look forward to seeing him and his wife every time we visit. If you are around the Hotsprings or Greeneville area and want to camp, this is the place.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay. The campground is in great shape and was very peaceful. The Host was great and he really cares about the campground and the Guests. He is the best host I have ever been around and was readily available if needed. We will be back.
