TravelerGreat straight forward campsite, awesome lake access!
ScoutNestled in Tennessee’s Sequatchie Mountain, this tranquil campsite on a private estate’s grassy field is great for nature enthusiasts. Each camp spot boasts its own wooden bench, perfect for soaking in the serene views, with some sites enjoying partial shade from the surrounding trees. The vibe is laid-back, anchored by a barn common area with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, comfy seating, and power outlets. Two well-kept portable toilets are tucked behind the barn, and a basic but functional hot-water shower is behind the lodge. The owners are quick to respond via email, ensuring a stress-free stay. Just don’t be surprised if the local rooster plays alarm clock at dawn—consider it nature’s way of saying,“Rise and shine, or I’ll keep crowing!”
Adventure calls within a 5-50 mile radius, with Foster Falls’ breathtaking waterfall and hiking trails just 5 miles away.
Fall Creek Falls is an hour’s drive. Ideal for a rejuvenating escape. Highly recommended.
T-Mobile 5G reception works well on this site , plenty bandwidth for streaming a movie.
GuideThe good: fantastic views of a canyon, and the electric/ RV sites are very nice. They also have EV charging at 35 cents Kwh. A couple of good places to eat nearby.
The not so good: The tent only sites get very muddy when it rains so it's best to watch the weather. The next time I stay here I will book an electric6y/RV site.
ScoutStayed 5 nights April of 2025. Very clean and nice park. Very friendly office women. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
LegendClosest campground to downtown. Very close to everything that's great about Chattanooga. Caverns and tour are awesome! Campground is meh, nothing spectacular but not terrible, kind of average. The pool is decent, playgrounds are old but still fun. Not much in the way of shade, so kinda hot in July lol. Views are pleasant being on the side of a hill. Chattanooga is so great and this is so close that it makes the rating higher than it would be. Caverns also help. We would stay here again.
Guidei can’t remember his name now but the guy at the front desk was so helpful. nothing too special about the sites. they’re close together but i just stayed for the night! quiet and near good food!
TravelerThey’re both very easy, hiking trails and more difficult ones depending on how much you wanna do. The staff at the desk is very helpful, especially for my first time camping campsites are really big, especially for tents. Cell service is OK but there’s Wi-Fi over campus as well 10 out of 10 would recommend
ScoutThe spots are very spacious.and very easily accessible
TravelerOnly stopped for an overnight, so didn’t explore very much, but this is a very nice campground with large sites, hookups, a playground and friendly staff that’s still at work (6:30 pm as i write this).
