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. However, some concerns include limited bathroom facilities, occasional rudeness from park rangers, and the lack of cell service, which may impact convenience. Overall, it's a cherished spot for many campers who enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor experiences it provides.

This was our first time in IBRA. We have camped in the Smoky Mountains for many many years, and really enjoyed our stay here. To be honest, our primary reason to try this was because there were electrical hookups and hot showers, unlike any of the National Park campgrounds. We were very pleased with the campsites and made a list of our favorites for future reservations, as we will definitely be coming back. It was much better walking around to rate sites than it is to judge by pictures on the Rec.gov app.
The bathrooms were kept clean and serviceable, and the General Store had generally everything you needed, which was good because it's a rather long drive to the nearest town. It's also nice that the gates are locked at night to keep out errant traffic.
As we enjoy hiking, the lake trail and nearby Wilderness Areas offered many wonderful choices.
All in all, it was a most pleasant experience.

We come to Indian Boundary when possible. We love walking around the lake. We enjoy visiting the store. The host are always very friendly and answer any questions you might have. It is very quiet and peaceful when we go , which is usually in spring and fall.

I Originally booked site #75. This is without a doubt the worst site in the entire campground for an RV. It's short and narrow, and the two level design is difficult to use. I was able to move to another site, but had to pay for three nights, even though I had paid for five nights in #75. This site should include a description that says "suitable for tents only"
