It is on Cherokee Lake

The big plus is that it is right on Cherokee Lake which is beautiful. As for the sites there are some good ones and some not so good. Be prepared to level your rig because East TN have very little level ground. The facilities are so so... nothing special and not sure how clean they are kept. The closest grocery or place to eat is 8 miles and 12 miles away.
