Indian Boundary

We had a wonderful time and every time we are here.

Always a wonderful experience. Campground always clean and well maintained. The lake is breathtaking and the trail around it an awesome experience. Well loved so best to have a reservation although the overflow area is not as full.

There is NO place on earth like Indian Boundary! We have looked at many other camping areas and none can compare!
LOVE the store, the size and spacing of the sites, the bath houses, the cleanliness, the peace....I could go on and on!

This camp ground is beautiful, relaxing, and fun! We loved it!

We have been coming to Indian Boundary for family reunion every October for about 15 years. We love it...we have always loved it. But, this year we have a NEW REGULATION about hammocks not being allowed outside of the perimeter of the campsite. I know there are some campers that abused small trees with their hammocks. BUT, hammocks are a BIG part of our camp trip. We always used big trees to tie ours too, with respect for the smaller ones. Now, no hammocks. There are maybe three campsites in the entire campground that have a tree within the boundary of the site to tie up to. You have camp hosts who are required to police the campground....making sure general rules are followed. I don't know why you couldn't of made a rule that all hammocks must be no farther than 15 feet beyond he parameter, or ten feet beyond. Then, if people broke the law, warn them once. If it continues, take their hammock or write them up. But don't take the hammock away from us by keeping it inside the parameter. The whole idea of camping is R&R...hammocks are a big part of that......it is NOT the same with out them. Please reconsider before you open in March? April? and see if you can come up with a new solution.Everyone we talked to was very unhappy with this rule. Also, lots . of people are appalled at the government making the Camp Hosts, who volunteer all their time to this forest, clean the restrooms. That is so degrading, and so unnecessary. This campground generates lots of money, and has very little upkeep. I see them get so weary every year, with the load you put on them. The crew is wonderful....they work together, help each other...constantly checking the sites, keeping the peace...doing their job, and then some....we feel it is degrading to them as caregivers of our beautiful parks, to tell them they have to clean commodes to keep their jobs...........for free. How I wish it could go back to the way it was with paid help to clean, or volunteers JUST for cleaning .Thank U

Camp grounds were quiet, orderly and clean. Camp sites had large gravel paved pads with electric close. We had a lake view with vivid sunsets. We were visiting friends so everyday was a different direction to sight see. Traveling the parkway was beautiful. We went to a dairy, would do the tour of the dairy next visit. Pigeon Forge was a nice place to visit but the local shops and out of the way restaurants were the best. You have to go to Brewster's Ice Cream Shop. You can ask any local for directions to Brewster's. Have a great time!

Love that the gates are locked at 10pm. Campground clean, restrooms very clean. Camp hosts at each camping loop are very helpful.
Indian Boundary General Store stocks variety of grocery items, fishing, camping needs and kayak and paddle board rentals. Wonderful lakeside trail. Just off Cherohala Skyway, with hiking trails. I have camped at Indian Boundary for over 40 years and enjoyed all improvements as they came along. Wonderful for kids of all ages!

This was our first visit to Indian Boundary and we absolutely loved it! Definitely going back.

Indian Boundary is one of our favorite places to go camping in the Cherokee National Forest! The view at the lake is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the fall. The lake is a good size to enjoy a boat ride. We bring our canoe and kayaks for our kids. We love to take our bikes to ride the trail around the lake. The campsites and bathrooms are always clean and the hosts are very friendly! The camp store is great if you forget anything or want a souvenir. The drive on the Cherohala Skyway is very nice with beautiful views. I highly recommend Indian Boundary!

A great place to camp. We have gone there in the Fall for the last 12 years and intend to go back this coming year. We like to stay on sites 15-17 in loop A since they have access to the lake for our kayaks. The foliage in simply awesome at the end of October.
