Cloudland Canyon State Park Campground

As most people say, this is one of the best parks for camping. Lots of great hikes, waterfalls and blooming azalea and rhododendron. It looked like the bath houses in the west rim campground are new or fully renovated. The lower portion of the west rim campground appears to have lost many of the shade trees. However our site was nicely shaded. We plan on going back maybe in the fall.

Loved this park. Everyone was very friendly. Lots of Intermediate to strenuous level hiking.

Beautiful peaceful camping ground. Walking distance to Sitton Gulch. Campground was clean and the staff is very friendly. Waterfalls were dry at the time of our visit, but it was still a beautiful site.

We loved this State Park. The campsites were pristine, spacious, and well-planned. We enjoyed the hiking trails and reconnecting with nature. There was an on-site camp store with everything we needed.

The sites are very close together here and you can expect it to usually be booked up. However, the facilities are in great condition and there are lots of short trails to amazing vistas.

They also sell $6 firewood, which is the cheapest I’ve seen in a while. Checking in is confusing because they don’t send you any info on what to do or how to get to your site (there’s two campgrounds, don’t go to the wrong one). You are supposed to stop at the visitor center to check in.

The park is beautiful with a nice modern campground. The sites are very nice. The bathroom and showers are very new and well-maintained. The views of the canyon below are breathtaking. There are wonderful trails leading down tobthr valley the views of waterfalls.

We stayed in the West Rim Campground and i love the way it's laid out. Site 34 has multi levels, one for the camper, one which could be a sitting or tent area, and one for the firepit. It backs up to woods but also has an open area that you could play numerous games(cornhole, football, frisbee etc) It also has a picnic table, grill and fire ring(all were in amazing shape). We purchased firewood from the visitor center but you can also purchase from camp host. Currently it's$6 a bundle and they keep it in a cute little outhouse looking storage building lol. It is a very clean, well maintained and quiet(while we were there) campground. If you are even slightly considering staying here, just go ahead and book it. It's an amazing campground surrounded by an equally amazing State Park.

First time to this State Park, but won’t be the last. Large pull through sites with fire pits, grills, picnic tables, and lantern poles. Close proximity to several hiking trails with sweeping vistas and gorgeous waterfalls. Clean and warm bathrooms/shower house. Friendly hosts.

Stayed in the East Rim for 7 nights. Amazing park with plenty of great hiking trails for all level of 'hikers'. We had a very young fawn come through our site and hang around all morning. 

The facilities were the best I have ever seen in a state park.

Website does not mention it but there is laundry facilities in the campground.

Wow! The great folks at Cloudland are doing major improvements. New camp sites, new bath houses, new laundry machines. Wonderful hosts. Easy to get into sites, trees are trimmed up high. Did a bit of hiking, a bit of laundry and a lot of relaxing.

While this campsite was a little bit of a walk from the parking area, and the parking area needs more spots, we had a blast being this far away other campsites and being so close to the west rim trail.
The seclusion was wonderful and quiet, and the showers and bathrooms were clean and appeared to be new.
If you don’t mind walking to your site, the walk-in campsites are a great option for a weekend stay!

You can definitely tell there has been lots of recent work completed. The West Rim was closed during our visit but we stayed at the newly renovated East Rim and it was very nice. Flat sites, well spaced, some pull through sites that are very large for big rigs. There are also a few handicap paved sites near the bath house. Access to trails directing behind cabins.

We went to one of the backcountry sites in mid January and it was easy to navigate, reasonably close to a water source, beautiful campground. Too gloomy for views at the lookout point but that’s another reason to return!

This place is so beautiful with trails and waterfalls.

Updated review with photos from a recent visit. They have been doing some serious construction at this park and are renovating all the campsites. Although the work isn't done yet they still have some sites available and you can still access the views and hiking. Will be very nice when all the renovations are completed.

Loved it here!! Nice level sites that are easy to maneuver into, functional bath houses, not the most up to date but had hot water and private shower stalls. Amazing views and challenging hikes which were was we came for. Nice camp store and easy check in process.

Beautiful campground with great hiking and incredible views! West rim is more secluded and quiet but East Rim is more convenient access to the visitor center, trail head and other activities. Wonderful camping here… we can’t wait to go back.

Camped at walk in site, nice space, basic bathrooms short hike away. Lots of wildlife!! We saw everything from raccoons, deer, and turkeys to coyotes and evidence of a bear visit. Beautiful park area to explore!! Mimimal spotty cell service for anyone wondering.

What a pretty place! Nice size campsite with no dedicated spot to pitch the tent but multiple options bc it is multi level with the fire pit down low in a separate hang out area. We did have a difficult time staking the tent with our tiny stakes so make sure you have titanium, the gravel is tough! We absolutely loved the hike, you can get to the waterfall and back in a bit 2 hours or so. There was so much further we could have gone and more to do if we had the time but that will have to be for next visit. Cloudland was our favorite campground the entire trip and we stayed at 5 different spots. We stayed 2 nights and will definitely come back since it’s about an 8 hour drive for us from home.

Campground is good with lots of options including yurts. Cabins have a great view, but at least some of them have the hiking trail right behind them. But this is an amazing park! Terrific hiking that will really give you a challenge, with lots of stairs up and down, but with some amazing waterfalls that make it all worth it. I definitely want to come back and spend more time camping here in the future.

Great place. Amazing overlooks and some of the most beautiful waterfalls you will find. We stayed at site 27 which was one of the nicest. Restrooms are dated but welcome center / store is super nice. We would love to visit again.

We stayed one night as a half way point on a long drive, and I am so glad that we did.  Cloudland Canyon is BEAUTIFUL.  We stayed in the West Rim campground.  The spaces are close together, but it is quiet and shaded.  In the morning we hiked a bit and went to the overlook for the most gorgeous view of the canyon.  

We will definitely be back to hike into the canyon, see the waterfalls, and check out the activities in the surrounding area.

Love it

Campground is ok, most sites are close, many trees, electric and water, gravel pads. Amenities here are great, Cloudland park has so much to do, hiking,bike riding, picnic’s with breathtaking views, waterfalls, kayaking a couple miles away

Welcoming atmosphere. Clean campsites and great facilities

We really enjoyed camping at Cloudland Canyon.  We took our first trip in our new Casita camper there in August.  But, prior to that we had scouted out the campground back in March.  Book on the west rim, as there is more privacy and space between campsites.  Clean facilities and well kept state park overall.  Lots to seek in the park if you like hiking; beautiful views of the canyon and waterfalls.  Lulu Land Trust is a short drive from the campground, which  has a breathtaking waterfall (reservation needed).   We will be returning.

We stopped in for a few hours on our drive home from Tennessee. We drove through the campgrounds to scout out our site. The campgrounds themselves seem a little crowded but I think for the surroundings it’s worth it. Can’t wait to go in the spring.

On this trip (May 2020) we stayed in one of the cabins on the east rim. It was right in the loop for camping.

It's an amazing campground with sites in the east and west rims of the canyon. The views were amazing and there are a ton of hiking trails. My kids keep asking to go back.
