Center Hill Lake Primitive Camping Areas — Center Hill Lake

The people that run this campground are rude and considerate jerks and talk to my kids and I like we where not worth there time.

 I have camped here for 18 to 20 years yearly multiple times a year I will not come back until the old people that work there no longer work there they’re unfriendly rude. Said I was feeding them a bull shot sandwich. It was 237. I was back in my truck up to my camper truck fully loaded camper broken down. All I do is hook up and pull out. He came up and goes. It’s 237. You know you need to fucking be gone by 2:30. I’m pulling out but check in is 330. They’re here early he said check-in is when I let them in that time doesn’t mean anything. Two months ago when I was here with my wife and kids. I had to wait two hours he said I don’t care what happened two months ago I said you know damn well I didn’t make a fuss about wanting I understood things happen but you coming over@2:37 talking to me like that there’s no excuse for that. He said I run this place the way I see fit. I said well you’re running all the young folks off and the old people can stay on their campsites till 530 and that’s OK but if I’m seven minutes late you come tell me to fucking move Kick rocks old man I won’t be coming back until he and his wife no longer work there and he is costing, the big rock at least$600 annually for my family not coming up there

We loved our three nights at Long Branch. Nestled in downriver from the dam, this campground provides a great opportunity to kayak down the river. Sites 2-20 along the river are the best spots. We stayed at 15 and enjoyed the proximity to the river while feeling like we were close enough to its beauty.

We had a large campsite along the river, but our view was blocked by overgrowth. I was super disappointed as this was our last stop on a long road trip. We came here to trout fish and watch the river float by. We didn’t get to do either because the water was too high (not the fault of the campground). The camp host at check in wasn’t the friendliest person when we had a few questions. The bathhouse was clean. I did think that the dump station was located in a strange spot as it was right on the main road in The campground and in front of someone’s campsite. You had to walk across a large field to take your garbage to the dumpster. We left a day early. This was a one and done place for us.

We recently moved from Idaho to Tennessee, we booked two spots at Long Branch to stay for two weeks. The views are beautiful, we visited in October, nice and warm during the day cool at night perfect for fires in the morning and at night. Nice size campground clean and well kept. Bathrooms are fabulous.

No laundry at this campgrounds, internet is hit or miss if you don't have internet in your trailer. But we're on Verizon and we seem to get it very well in the morning and during the day.

All in all the site is clean, quiet, and beautiful, right at the base of a dam, and the river flowing next to us is gorgeous. Wish they stayed open all year long but they don't. We will be back early for camping on the weekends.

There is a little noise from the road but not very often only when cars pass.

We stayed right on the river for two nights and had a great time.

We ususally try to find the Army Corp of Engineers campgrounds as they're so nice!  This particular one has two areas - the main one and a few separated campsites over a bridge.  We were over the bridge and I would not recommend it - dogs could not cross bridge and sites are very small.

Facilities clean and well lit.

Enjoyable camp ground.  Sites are nice and large, easy to back into.  There are steps down to the river.  Many sites have plenty of shade especially the ones in the small loop. I will be coming back here for sure.

Nice and quiet with a beautiful view of Caney Fork River . World class trout fishing.
