Spacious and well maintained spots. Pull through spots available for larger rigs. Facilities well maintained and clean. The falls being driving distance away is the only drawback.

Desoto Falls State Park
Clean quiet and very nice
Beautiful place !!
Robert R.ScoutTennessee Wall Camp
I was worried that I would arrive and find all the campsites occupied. This was not the case. When I got there around 5:30 there was only one other site taken. I didn’t see them until the next morning. By morning, there were two other sites occupied.
Jacob A.TravelerTennessee Wall Camp
Hard to find, really busy but most of them were hikers let left at nightfall.

Fairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park
Fantastic
What a beautiful area to camp. We tent camped in a 12 person tent and had plenty of space on the grass to put the tent up. The other spots are more for RVs. The view is incredible! You can fish right on most of the sites including 41. We have 3 teenagers and they all have asked to come back to camp on this site. Plenty of privacy. We did have a bunch of kids that came through our site to visit the water which I was not a fan of but other than that it's truly a fantastic site. This place is wonderful! Oh, and our tmobile was spotty but still worked!

Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground
Must visit!
Excellent campground! We were on the west rim. Bathrooms nearby and very clean! Sites were spaced enough you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbors. Lots of trees. Playground for kids was great and there’s tons of trails of varying difficulties. There’s a grill at each site so bring charcoal! Really enjoyed our weekend stay and would definitely go back!

Nice Park
We stayed just one night but really liked the clean bathrooms and showers, sites are level and clean, it wasn't crowded when we were there so we had ample privacy. Will stay here again.
Marie H.TravelerFairview Campground — Tims Ford State Park
Love it
Small, clean. Nice modern, renovated RV /tent sites. Easy to leave your boat or kayak in the water near your site. Nice, clean, easy to walk to beach. Only one waterfront site has full hook ups. One row back was great.
