About

State Park

Welcome to Big Ridge State Park Campground, nestled near Maynardville, TN. This spot is a gem for those who love the great outdoors. Open all year round, it offers a mix of tent, RV, cabin, and even glamping accommodations.

One of the standout features here is the easy access to Norris Lake. Whether you're into fishing, boating, or just soaking in the views, the lake is a short walk from many campsites. Some visitors have mentioned that the sites are nicely spaced and angled, making it a breeze to park and set up.

For those who like to stay connected, be aware that T-Mobile service can be a bit spotty. But hey, isn't that part of the charm of getting away from it all? The campground also has electric hookups and drinking water, which are always a plus.

If you're into hiking, you're in luck. There are several trails nearby, ranging from easy to moderate. One popular route is the loop that includes the Lake Trail, Dark Hollow Trail, and Big Valley Trail. It's a great way to explore the park and get a bit of exercise.

Families will appreciate the playground and picnic tables scattered around. Pets are welcome too, so feel free to bring your furry friends along. Just remember, no alcohol is allowed on the premises.

The shower house could use an upgrade, but it's functional. And if you're planning a longer stay, there's a sanitary dump station available. Firewood can be purchased on-site, and campfires are allowed, making it easy to enjoy a cozy evening under the stars.

So pack your bags, grab your gear, and head over to Big Ridge State Park Campground for a memorable outdoor experience.
