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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

We are really wanting to know what the secret is to making reservations. We are retired and want to get a reservation like on a Thursday thru Sunday but all the days after Thursday are unavailable. Not booked but they are outside the 90 day window but we see others that are getting those days past the 90 days. How is this possible? If I book that Thursday can I book past that. When we were there on our last trip there was a group that consisted of over 100 people. What are the chances that could be possible unless there was a secret we are not aware of. We have been coming there since the 1980’s. Indian Boundary is amazing.
