Campground and Lake are beautiful, and our campsite was nice but a little tight for our 40' class A motorhome. We could not have a fire because the fire ring was to close to the back of the RV because we were so long. The sight was level and the gravel was packed. Getting to the campground is an adventure in driving with our 40' rig towing a SUV because the roads are narrow with several very tight turns. The dump sight has you pulling into the campgrounds when you are done causing you to have to turn around to leave. Better access roads to get there would have changes my overall rating for the better

Everything you have come to expect from a COE campground. There is a trail that is well maintained and the lake is beautiful with very little traffic.

Salthouse Branch review: i camped at site 33 twice now as a stopping point of my trip to Tennessee. My first stop I did a review noting that the campsite was not cleaned after the previous camper left. The camp host job is more than just checking campers in. We found trash in the fire ring and around the site and it’s no different this visit. Walking around the campground the grounds and other sites are the same. On a personal note why is the ADA site so far from the bathhouse. I have limited mobility and there’s no red parking near the bathhouse to provide easy access either.

Sites were boxed in and smaller than I am used to. Think they were 20' wide. We had to move the picnic table completely out of the site to make room for our fence. Sites are not very long either. My camper is 40 ft and I had to overhang th back of the camper in order to keep the truck on the site as well.
