Signal Mountain Campground

Great location next to the water, but be aware that most campsites are not next to or near the water. Not even a view. The site we grabbed was a lucky last minute opening and did have a water view. It was a great view, but the power at that site could not sustain 50 amps (40 amp draw) as promised. The most I was able to pull without tripping the breaker was about 20 amps. They blame their old power infrastructure... So keep that in mind if you need to power a larger RV. Aside from the power issue, also be prepared for paying for showers and expect high rates for the camp sites. While a well kept campground, the prices are ridiculous and it's because it's run by a private company. You'll get more of a private campground feel there and also expect a number of rules to follow that don't make sense. Like how you must wash dishes at your campsite... Why? There's heavy bear activity in this campground so they encourage you to increase the scents at the site?? Overall, I did enjoy my stay here, loved the views, loved having access to restaurants, stores, and even boat rentals, but it's just a bit expensive for a national park.

We loved our spot at Signal Mountain.

The campground was clean, active, and had great views.

A gorgeous well maintained campground. The trail to the bathroom was one of my favorite parts of the day - a windy trail through the woods. Beautiful views from the beach area; water was swimming temperature. Boats can be a little annoying but we ended up renting one as well. A good selection of food with a bar, two restaurants and a coffee shop. The individual bathrooms were the nicest we have seen. $5 gets you 7mins of shower so we learned to be expedient. Hot water in the utility sink for dishes. Not too many sites and most are pretty private, great stargazing at night. We stayed in two spots: 20 and 30; we loved our #20 spot. #30 was too close to the neighboring site with not a lot of visible separation. Overall one of my two favorite camp grounds during our trip (Teton Canyons was amazing as well).

Beautiful campground. I like how rugged it felt yet the sites were pretty level for the RV. Water access was neat. Will hope to be back one day. It is tough to book and pricey though. Lady at check-in was not very helpful or knowledgeable, but otherwise a nice stay.

Incredible campground. Very private, and quiet. Right next to the water. there was an elk and a deer roaming the grounds which was cool. Clean bathrooms. Has running water to use, and a fire ring to use.

Very nice lakefront setting (though only a view sites have Lakeviews). Natural, wooded setting. Nice lounge/bar and restaurant in the main building at entrance. Sites not huge, but nice.

The campground was clean and quiet. Bathrooms were clean. Our site was not level and almost all the sites had an incline. We had an electric hookup site and that was in good condition. Showers were available nearby @$5 for 7 min. but we didn’t need them. The dump station has a potable water spigot to fill RV tanks. Location was excellent for getting to places in GTNP.

I didn’t realize prior to booking my site that the campground was so small. There are a lot of sites though, which means that my particular spot was surrounded by other campers. There is a trail right behind the tent and many campers walked within 10 ft of us all evening long. People woke up early made tons of noise. I think there are far too many tent sites in this small campground. Do as you will, that’s my opinion.

Clean, well maintained campground.
