We absolutely love Indian boundary, it's our home away from home. Our family of 6 never get bored here, from swimming, fishing, riding bikes, playing volleyball or finding a group to play flag football or just relaxing by a fire or at the beach area, we LOVE IT. The camp hosts are wonderful and we love hanging out with Billy and Stacy!

The beach needs new sand the volleyball ground need to be cleaned and sand! as much revenue comes in this should be a no problem but guess money goes some place else!

Although we had rain ever day, we had a great time. The trails were pleasant even for us old people. We enjoyed visiting the well stocked camp store that had a variety of items and prices are reasonable. We visited the little town of Tellico and enjoyed the bakery, the visitor center and museum. We visited the dam, and the beautiful waterfall near by. The campground was clean and the hosts were pleasant and helpful. Looking forward to another visit.
