Where Norris Lake meets the Cumberland Mountains, Lonas Young Memorial Park requires boat access to reach its shoreline camping spots. This county-managed campground sits 1.2 miles northwest of La Follette, accessible only by watercraft across the lake's surface.
The facility provides drinking water, restrooms with showers, and trash service for campers arriving by boat. WiFi reaches the camping areas, and both pets and alcohol are permitted on the grounds. Campfires are allowed, though campers must transport all firewood and supplies via boat. The park charges varying fees depending on site selection and season. Nearby Big Creek Gap RV Park offers land-based camping for those preferring road access to the Norris Lake area.
Description
The park is right on the water next to a marina.
