We love this campground, kids have a blast riding bikes, fishing & swimming in the lake, and visiting the camp store. The girl in the camp store is so kind and sweet and helpful, and whenever my kids went to get gum or hotdogs for fishing they always came back telling us a fun story. The camp host in loop A where we stayed was very friendly and welcoming. Bath houses kept clean.

My favorite place to camp. Best camp host in the state of Tennessee. They are always willing to help in any way. Great sites. Just wished people wouldn't book them and not show up. Y'all should have a red list. If they book and don't show up they get 3 strikes and can't book anymore at that campground for a year.

Our first trip to Indian Boundary campground with our camper. It was such a wonderful weekend. There is ZERO cell reception at the campground but that forced us to truly disconnect for 3 days. We spent 3 relaxing days biking, hiking, swimming, reading and playing family games. Perfect weekend!
