Love love loved this campground. Gorgeous, clean, and feels deep in the Cherokee National Forest. The trails are fun. The lake is pretty and you can swim in it. The beach area is nice and large. We stayed in site 61 it was spaced well away from the neighboring sites and had a stream running through the one end which my toddler loved. There is a store in the campground where they are friendly and have everything you could need and more. The camp hosts were great. We will be back!

I love Indian B. Everything is great! I would suggest that people need to slow down driving through the park. This is the first year that I have noticed how fast people are driving!

Indian Boundary is our favorite place to camp. The camp host on loop A is awesome and they keep the bathrooms really clean.
But on this trip the water was cut off on loop A for 2 days. The bathrooms were closed, the water spigots were dry, and we had to use the facilities in other loops. Just really disappointing after having this reservation for months and paying $30/night. We left a day early and lost that money too.
