Gilmore Campground — Farragut State Park
R
Reviewed Aug. 21, 2020

Sunny, no privacy, uncomfortable.

Pros: electric, water, and sewer at site. 

Cons: all asphalt and gravel, no shade, too close to other campsites, barely any trees or barriers between sites. 

Good only if you come in a big rv that can only drive on roads. Terrible for tent use, which was advertised for our site. From our campsite, you can see 10 other sites with no barrier between. Zero privacy. (Great with the neighbors crying children) 

"Tent pad" is sharp gravel, good luck not ripping tent or puncturing your sleeping pad. Sunny as can be, only small baby trees in the campground, all of which are mostly dead. 

Farragut state park is nice, but no beaches at lake to hang out on. A few trails to hike on, tree obstable course for kids, shooting range, and lake for kayaking or boating. 

Bayview is an odd town close to park that does not seem very tourist friendly, but Lake House restaurant was good.
