We had a great stay at the park. We stayed in a tent on one of the primitive sites for 2 nights. Everything was very clean. The bathrooms were far away but well kept. The site are very unlevel and make for some uncomfortable sleeping. but we managed. we had plenty of space from neighbors which was nice.
We did some kyacking down the caney, hiking at burgess falls and had nice dinner at Hurricane Marina. It was a bit far to get to anything. If we had a boat the lake access looked beautiful.

A very quiet and scenic campground with very helpful staff . Could use a little more advertisement such as signs on the road. I almost missed it !

We love Ragland Bottoms! It is such a relaxing place. The RV sites are great with plenty of room. So many cute shops and good restaurants close by. Great playgrounds for kids. The beach/swim area is great for the family. We go several times a year.

{"text"=>"If you're going with family that are going to swim don't take your furbaby even if it's a service animal. The volunteer that is supposed to be helping people will scope you out and give you a lecture on no pets. Yes I saw the no pets before I came however I didn't realize it was a crime to walk around with your dog. I was even told by her that the fake service animal vests would have worked. 🤣 Really y'all that don't have a svc pet here go. Someone should declare a secret National Unservice Animal Day here but secretly with 100s wearing fake svc animal vest & tags. I could have went back to rental cabin, got proper documents for this person but I've visited many beaches in this area along with the ones on Dale Hollow & never had an issue. I just enjoyed seeing this woman thinking she was tightening up her Sgt belt more esp bragging that she had just told another man that was on beach that he had to leave. 😲 Come on Ragland Bottom beach & campground, screen these eager beaver vols that just want to power trip on others. The volunteers at Obey River & Sunset Dock Pickett Co TN are friendly and don't get their kicks from power tripping on lake goers. She's probably upset cause our dogs have better social lives than her own. 😏", "languageCode"=>"en"}
