Where Cherokee Lake meets the Tennessee foothills, Greenlee May Springs Campground operates year-round under TVA management. The campground provides full hookups for RVs including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus restrooms with showers and a dump station. Several sites sit directly on the lake, offering immediate water access for fishing and exploration.
Campers report a mix of seasonal residents and transient visitors, with quieter periods during off-season months. Site maintenance varies, with some areas needing more frequent grass cutting. The campground allows pets and maintains basic facilities, though cleaning standards can be inconsistent. For additional camping choices, visitors might explore campgrounds around Talbott or nearby Panther Creek State Park Campground.
