Great hidden spot.

Great campground, definitely a hidden gem. It’s about 15 minutes from the nearest town. The rustic camping is directly on the Tennessee river.

The main campground (Happy Hollow) is separated and by itself. There is 50/30/110 electrical, water hookups, and a dumping station on the way out.

All sites are made up of pavement. If you have a larger rig I highly recommend using the sites towards the front of the campground. There are showers in the bathhouse which is centrally located.

Definitely a great place for peace and tranquillity. Great hiking trails and a museum to visit during the day. I highly recommend this place.

standard state park campground, fine place to camp

We arrived late at this campsite and left early, so I didn't get a chance to see much of the state park (although the hiking trails looked good), but the campsite itself and amenities were great. We were going to camp at site 9, but ended up camped at Site 14, which was on a loop trail, so a little farther from the toilets/ shower block but with more privacy. The campsite had a picnic table and fire ring, and a paved spot to park the car on.

There are also cabins available to rent in one section of the campground, but we chose to just put up our tent. Everything was clean, lots of spots and a mix of RVs and cars- it's definitely a good campground if you are exploring around the area or need a good place to camp while traveling somewhere else.

Note: Site 9 is close to the toilet block and the light was shining into the site late, so we switched to site 14. Site 14 is slightly sloped, so be aware if you are putting up a tent there.
