We always enjoy Indian boundry. Host are very helpful. This year we found out we can actually get ice after hours on the honor system. Where else do you get that?

Great family experience! Bike riding was safe and enjoyable on the Loops. Everyone enjoyed the well-maintained beach area. Store was a hit, especially the ice cream and toys. Campground was quiet when bedtime came. An ocassional dog barking but nothing too disturbing. Men's bathroom on Loop B was very clean each day. There was a clogged toilet each afternoon in the women's bathroom but it was working each morning, which indicates it may need some repair work to make it function properly. Looking forward to camping at Indian Boundary again. Thanks you for making it fun for families.

Very nice campground! The lake is beautiful, big, and the trail around it is a pleasant walk. I was also impressed with the newer bathroom/bath house facilities and I loved the ceiling fans inside these facilities. Made it feel like AC! The scenic drive west on the Skyway is worth taking once, although nothing to see or do in Robbinsville. There's a Walmart Supercenter in nearby Madisonville. We'll definitely be going back!

Recommend driving the Cherohala Skyway to Joyce Kilmer National Forest for a day hike. Visit the Charles Hall museum in Tellico Plains (it’s FREE) and the Sequoyah museum and Fort Loudon in Vonore. Note: no cell service at Indian Boundary, but the scenic pull-over just (4-miles) above Indian Boundary cell service signals are accessible.

Kids and adults alike enjoyed playing on the lake, biking and walking on the trail around the lake and around campground, shopping at camp store and all that camping involves. Camp sites are spacious, and restrooms and showers are clean. The only downside to this campground is the cleaning of the restrooms from 8-9 am every morning.
