Would love to see heaters installed in bath houses. It was way too cold in there.

Indian Boundary Campground offers a beautiful, tranquil setting with well-maintained facilities, spacious and shaded campsites, and clean bathrooms, making it an ideal location for family-friendly activities like hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the helpful camp hosts, as well as the scenic lake and beach area.

Beautiful setting and so close to drive the Cherohala Skyway. Sites level and well laid out. Loved the well maintained Lake Perimeter trail with easy access directly from many sites on the exterior of Circles A & B. Will definitely be back and bring our canoe.

Beautiful and very clean park. Lake has crystal clear water that your able to walk around. Excellent trails. Very nice small store that is very reasonable priced. Site are very large but some are difficult to back into, depending on your length. Bathrooms/showers were super clean and well kept. The bathrooms may get crowded during busy times due to limited stalls.

This place is for peace loving nature lovers. Quiet and secluded, this well-maintained campground and its surrounding areas are our favorite place for hiking, stargazing, and night walks. Nearby Tellico Grains Bakery is an amazing place for breakfast pastries and delicious sandwich lunches. The drive on Cherohala Skyway is a must do for breathtaking Mountain Views, photographs and perhaps a picnic along the way.

Best National Forest campground we've found. Cherohala Skyway fabulous hiking. Indian Boundary Lake a nice paddle. Bald Creek Falls is gorgeous. And Tellico Plains a wonder little town. This is our annual October trip.

Our favorite place to camp. Could be better if people would not bring their barking dogs. Love to hear the kids but sick of all the dogs.

One of highlights a autumn is annual trip to Cherohala Skyway. Indian Boundary is one of the best N.F. campgrounds we have visited. Lake is great for a relaxing paddle. Lake loop trail is great...not to mention fabulous hiking along skyway. A little disappointed that leaf blowers are not discouraged. And is concern about transporting firewood real or not? People arriving with huge amounts of firewood.
