Conveniently located, clean and well-organized park. The two available full hookup sites are right next to the dump station but otherwise fine.

Very nice place for our first family camping trip. Tent camping was a bit challenging on the pad because we couldn’t drive a stake into it and our tent type needed that. But we made due. Restrooms were clean. Traffic through the campground was always slow and mindful of kids on bikes. Overall a great experience.

Enjoyed most of our weekend stay @ site #9. The grounds are well kept there and give ample space to each camper. The only issue we had was the smoke created by most everyone gilling or building fires in the late afternoon and early evening. Our dogs were choking and we ended up just going inside. We think the concentrated smoke was caused by the location of the campground being at such a low level (below the dam) and the steep hills and trees that surrounded us. Perhaps had there been some breeze or wind it might not had been so noticeable. We plan to return in a couple of weeks and hope we see a difference, if not we will retreat again and consider our future stays at Long Branch. It might be different too had we stayed during the week. Maybe not so many campers. Otherwise a lovey place to camp!

Long Branch is a great campground. Located adjacent to the Caney Fork River, which is perfect for kayaking or canoeing. Center Hill lake is right around the corner for boating and fishing. The campground is spacious and well taken care of. Bath houses are clean and fully operational. Cell service is limited to one or two bars. There is wi-fi at the campground but service is limited to the area around the main bathhouse. I have camped here multiple times and will return in the future.
