We love Indian Boundary - so peaceful and scenic. Wish we had brought our kayaks this time, but my husband was having shoulder problems.

At the risk of encouraging more folks to enjoy the best campground in East Tennessee, we love this place. The B Loop campground hosts are superb. They obviously care about preparing the loop for our enjoyment. The sites are clean, hard packed gravel, mostly level, well drained and spacious. B Loop bath houses are spotless and well supplied. The camp store is a pleasure to browse. The lake trail is a easy 3 mile walk. No cell service but if you have an antenna for your TV, you can get local stations. The are no water hookups at the sites but you can get water at the dump station and spigots throughout the campground. Hard to get a site but its worth the effort.
