We had the best site and just loved our stay. Our water faucet was broken when we got there, but they came right out to fix it. Small campground and quiet for the most part. Very quiet at night.

Well sized sites and well maintained. Only issue is that we weren't able to get firewood there and couldn't find a place nearby. Otherwise, great spot and easy access to nice hikes.

Very nice campground. The public road to the campground is very hilly with steep drop offs and no shoulder. It could be a white knuckle drive for some folks.

Only offer 30 amp power and there is no sewer hook-up on site, but there is a dump station. We knew this ahead of time but updating would be nice. There was no personnel of any card present during our 2 night stay and we had noisy neighbors on all sides until well into the evening every night. Wanted to camp in our new RV before winterizing it, so this trip was late for any "colors" and fairly chilly. We went for an 8.5 mile hike on the Blue Heron Loop, which was nice, but I think there is more to do and see at the Bandy Creek Campground, on the Tennessee end of the Big South Fork State Park. No reason to return.

Policies & Rules
General
- Black bears and other wildlife frequent this campground. Please keep in mind that “food” to a bear includes any item with a scent, regardless of packaging. This may consist of items that you do not consider food, such as canned goods, horse feed, bottles, drinks, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries, trash, ice chests (even when empty), and unwashed items used for preparing or eating meals. All these items must be stored properly. --Secure coolers, grills, cooking utensils, horse feed, any food not in use, and anything with food odors inside the locked compartment of a vehicle or trailer or a bear proof storage locker if available. Food storage lockers each measure approximately 29" deep x 38" wide x 43" tall. --Wipe off picnic tables and grills. Properly discard aluminum foil used for cooking. --Avoid burning garbage in fire rings because it will leave behind grease and food scraps. --Always discard all garbage in wildlife proof trash cans or dumpsters.
