Nice campsite despite no water at it. Water was nearby. Electrical hookup worked perfectly. We didn’t interact with any staff but the campsite was clean and well maintained.

What an amazing place to take my son for his first camping trip! The staff were all friendly and helpful, and talk about a beautiful place to visit! We will definitely be back!

Great, as always. The store is well stocked, the trail and beach area super clean. Kayaks and paddle boards for rent!

Site 75 There is only enough room for a 26' camper and 1 vehicle max. (Based on My rig) You haft to walk up steps to get to the picnic table and fire ring. Would be excellent for tent camping though. Overall experience was good though. Will be back but not on this site.

We had a great trip to Indian Boundry for July 4th weekend! Had a ground issue on the 30A when we got there, contact the host, was fixed within an hour! Great service and wonderful camp hosts!

Extended family camped in five adjacent sites. All grandchildren had fantastic experience with bikes, swimming, fishing and friendships. Perfect place for kids to experience like without internet and smart phone connectivity.

I'm always grateful when I'm able to stay at Indian boundary. This past experience was a little different. What I noticed was trash everywhere and especially the trail. You have to ask yourself why? Is it bad parenting? Or is it the new poorly designed bear trash cans. I'm 5'7 and a large size lady and can't hardly open them. It takes 2 hands and then you don't have a hand to hold your trash. These trash cans discriminate against the elderly, short people, children and especially the handicap. This really makes me think that whomever designed these have absolutely no knowledge of their use. I really hope that the Cherokee national Forrest/Indian boundary don't end up in a lawsuit because of them. I see it coming.
Now let's talk about your new reservation policies. They are horrible...PERIOD.
I'm asking that Cherokee National Forrest start hiring people with common sense. Life is simple so stop complaining it.
I would like to say that the camp host at Indian boundary are awesome. They always go above and beyond to help everyone.

We always have a great time. We have been camping at Indian Boundary for 33 years. The new trash dumpster are to heavy to open and some are in the way as the one in A loop across from site 4. My truck is a long bed and my camper is long and it was difficult to get backed in. Also some tree limbs need trimming as a limb got stuck in my antenna. We looked at site 15 and would like to stay in it but there is a limb to low. Also we kayak when we camp at the last several times when trying to use the boat dock people are swimming and are in the way. Some move so you can back in but some don’t. You may want to start charging day use just like the beach area. Also I would post no litter signs and sign that say if continue you will have to start charging clean up fees.

We had a great time and loved the lake! Spiders are kinda everywhere at night, even like under your picnic table area, which is expected I guess lol. I would suggest having a screen tent for that area if possible and enjoy hanging out at night. Only complaint I really have is I felt we were kinda nit picked at, about a few things bc our tent area was near host sites. If you know about the campground, I would just suggest getting one further away. We were told to turn OFF, not down or anything, the music that we were playing in the middle of the day. I was under the impression that quiet time was after 10pm. It was like 3pm with only my husband, me, and our 6 year old son, so we weren’t loud at all. The music wasn’t blaring or anything. I mean people have it louder at the lake where everyone is and several playing at one time. I just believe it was bc we were near two host sites and apparently didn’t like the music. Wasn’t really a big deal, and we turned it off, but I was a little upset that we were asked to completely shut it off when it was the middle of the day. It was also a Sunday and besides the host area, there was many empty sites around us that stayed empty. We stayed til Monday and they were never occupied; was just a little aggravating. All in all, we had a great time as a family and really enjoyed being together there! This is always one of our favorite places. I will just be a bit more choosey about my site location next time. Now I know why it was available on a weekend, on short notice lol
