Best Dispersed Camping near Revelo, KY
Several free dispersed camping areas exist around Revelo, Kentucky, with options like Trace Branch Dispersed along Rock Creek Road and Jellico Creek Road Dispersed sites. These primitive locations offer no amenities – no water, toilets, or trash service. Sites typically feature minimal improvements, though Trace Branch has at least one site with a picnic table and fire pit. A recent review noted, "Small campsite on the shores of Rock Creek. We took our portable firepit and sat by the creek for a beautiful evening."
The Redbird Boat Ramp provides another primitive camping option with space for a few vehicles including RVs. Swain Ridge allows camping at the trailhead or roadside only, with a $1000 fine for camping in open fields. Fire restrictions vary by location – fires are permitted at most sites but prohibited at Swain Ridge. Campers should be prepared for potential hazards including ticks, poison ivy, and occasional litter problems. The Bi-Color Campground in nearby Catoosa WMA across the Tennessee border offers additional dispersed camping with similar primitive conditions but becomes crowded during hunting seasons.
