Boat-in campers will find Goose Island accessible only by water on J Percy Priest Lake, managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The campground allows both campfires and pets, making it suitable for families wanting to bring their dogs along for a lake-based camping experience.

Without vehicle access, campers must transport all gear by boat, which limits the amount of equipment but creates a more secluded setting. The Cook Campground sits nearby for those preferring drive-in access. Goose Island works well for experienced boaters comfortable with water-only transportation and basic amenities.
