Great campground with nice sized sites. Bath houses were super clean. Well manicured grass. Friendly camp host. Two good sized playgrounds for the kids. Two boat ramps, one with a loading dock. Nice quick trail to a beautiful overlook! Only thing I can say bad is our site and some other sites fire pit was in large rocks to the side of the site making it hard to sit around.

Great place to camp. The place is clean and well kept.
The camp host ,TOM, is nice, friendly and a pleasure to talk to.
The only down side is the TVA does a terrible job of water management. One day the water level is good ,the next they take water out of the lake, and the next day they take more water out, and so on. I was there for a week and they lowered the water level by 3 FEET.I had to have people help push my boat back into the water each day.
