Center Hill Lake Primitive Camping Areas

great time, nice and quiet.

The campsite itself was great. We were able to set up a nice camp and enjoyed ourselves. The issue was the map on the website showing its location. It's marked in the wrong spot on the map. We just happened to find it after realizing it was not where we expected it to be. It is not at the mouth of Cane Creek as shown on the map. It's actually on the right on top of a small hill before you get to the stand of dead trees in the lake.

Another fantastic getaway to this campsite. We had a large group that enjoyed paddling to Burgess and Fancher. We also hiked Burgess, Fall Creek and Rock Island.
The site is unlevel, hard and cramped but works and is an awesome location. We had a near miss with a juvenile copperhead but that’s a risk anywhere. Very little phone service there.

Enjoyed our stay at the smith county access camp. It is a beautiful area with the shore facing spectacular bluffs across the water. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a secluded primitive camping spot.

Nice campsite. Lots of trash and broken glass left behind previous campers. We loaded out three 55 gallon bags of trash before we could set up camp.

Small site. Good for a couple small tents.

The site was nice but hard to find. You have to look for a sign past the edge of the tree line. This area is beautiful and a nice place to kayak.

The area was not mowed, all overgrown, didn't even see a fire ring.... we left... and didn't camp at all... no site marker, had to ask people that were already moored there with 2 boats and a ton of family in the water, they said they would leave, but after we saw the site condition we just left.
. Whole family was disappointed!

pretty good

Good places to camp, just wish there were more.
