Wonderful, secluded location, well designed camp grounds and well maintained, ample of showers and bathrooms in each spot. This was quite possibly my best camping experience thus far in Tennessee!

Two night unplanned visit turned out to be excellent. First the cons: this is 12 miles to anywhere for major supplies. Also, there are bears in this campground. Now the Pros: Arrived early October on a Monday, and plenty of spots. Prices are good too. Check in was simple, and Staff very helpful. So quiet, with nice trails, bath houses, and visitor center. One recommendation, dont get spot next to trash bins if you are worried about bears. One visited my spot the last morning, and left thier large paw print on the side of my car, but didn't even wake me. Just follow the rules, and you wont have any issue. Can't wait to return.
