TravelerThe waterfalls are beautiful and relaxing. You can hike the high-easier trail (but tree roots are present) or the lower-harder trails and be a unprofessional rock climber right down to the falls. 2.5 mile hike if you go all the way around. We spent over 2.5 hours here. Bonus is that if you are not camping here... you can use the very very clean showers for $5!
TravelerEnjoyable place to stay, quiet nights. Very chill atmosphere. Would recommend.
ScoutI was worried that I would arrive and find all the campsites occupied. This was not the case. When I got there around 5:30 there was only one other site taken. I didn’t see them until the next morning. By morning, there were two other sites occupied.
TravelerThis was a last minute stay, the camp was full but accommodations were made for us by the host to park in his front yard and connect to house power. We were invited to join the host and other guests at the massive fire pit that was warming the cool mountain evening. Very pretty here…was a long and winding road up the mountain from our travel direction. Excited to see what it looks like in daylight. I have 3 bars on my T-Mobile but also have StarLink.
ScoutBeautiful view on the water. Not very full, which was nice. I came for some quiet and privacy and while it worked, there were just some that were very social. Haha
TravelerSides are clean and well spaced. The review said before that it was $20 a night. It’s now $30 a night for 20 amp service and I believe 44 for 30 or 50 amp service.
TravelerHard to find, really busy but most of them were hikers let left at nightfall.

Beersheba Springs sits at approximately 1,800 feet elevation on the Cumberland Plateau, with surrounding sandstone cliffs that shelter numerous waterfalls and gorges. The area experiences moderate summer temperatures averaging 10-15 degrees cooler than surrounding lowlands, making it particularly popular for summer camping. Campgrounds near Beersheba Springs range from established state parks with full amenities to primitive backcountry sites.
Hike to multiple waterfalls: The Fiery Gizzard Trail connects several camping areas and features numerous waterfalls within short distances. "We hiked the Fiery Gizzard before it was closed then reopened. Was a CHALLENGE! Boulder field Delores! With gorgeous scenery!" notes Shelly S. about Foster Falls Campground.
Explore historical features: The Old Stone Fort dates back thousands of years and provides educational opportunities alongside camping. "The museum was neat there's a lot of History there. The campground has a lot of nice hikes in it," reports B M. about Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park.
Swim in natural pools: Many camping areas provide access to swimming spots beneath waterfalls. "Beautiful spot any time of year but we like to go when it's warm enough to swim in the waterfall," shares Kelly M. about Foster Falls, adding that water activities can be combined with "good sport climbing, and a few trails that will take you really high up."
Quiet camping with minimal crowds: Many campgrounds in the area maintain low visitor numbers even during peak seasons. "We visited in early October and plan on revisiting during more colorful time in the landscape and after a good rain to see what must be rapid waterfalls and streams... I didn't see another person the whole time I was hiking and camping which is exactly what I was looking for," writes Lavender T. about Savage Falls Campground.
Primitive sites with scenic views: Alum Gap offers sites with views over the plateau edge. "The Alum Gap campground in Savage Gulf State Natural Area was a perfect destination for a first-time backpacker (like me!). The trail is easy-moderate, mostly flat with only a few inclines. Most of the sites are large, with lots of space to set up camp and hang out," states Brittany S. about Alum Gap Campground.
Off-grid pet friendly camping: For those seeking true wilderness camping with pets, private land options exist. "We really enjoyed camping on Chris's property, it was isolated (no cell service) and private just like we wanted! Our dogs had a fun time in the river (river campsite with small hike to it) and we just got to live in the woods uninterrupted for a few days like camping should be," explains christin about Hammock Sway.
Water access varies seasonally: Many campsites rely on natural water sources that fluctuate. "During my visit over Labor Day weekend, I found the campground to be remarkably uncrowded... On my hike there, I encountered a small creek, which served as a sufficient water source. Depending on recent rainfall, you might need to collect water back at the Greeter Falls area," advises Asher K. about Alum Gap Campground.
Some sites require advance planning: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially on weekends. "Book ahead of time as campsites fill up quickly on weekends!" warns Aaron S. about Stone Door Campground.
Site size variation: Campsite dimensions vary significantly even within the same campground. "Nice, new campground. Right around the corner from the Greeters Falls trailhead which made it convenient... Be sure to check the site measurements. Our only complaint was the site size & distance to our neighbor. We stayed at primitive site 1. Flat area for your tent, then a slight slope towards the walkway," notes Karlie about Greeter Falls Campground.
Start with beginner-friendly backcountry: Several campgrounds offer minimal hiking distances ideal for children's first backpacking trips. "Our family camped here about 2 years ago as our first camping trip together. It was perfect. We love how much space and privacy we had and will be a regular camping trip for us. You have to hike your gear in so it's not quite as convenient as car camping, but it was also a way for us to get somewhat of a backcountry experience with young children," shares Robbie M. about Stone Door Campground.
Consider bath facilities: Bathroom access varies widely between campgrounds. "Facilities were not the most maintained but like state park for its' location. Lots of louder families while we were there," reports Sarah N. about Foster Falls Campground, highlighting that family-heavy campgrounds may have more noise.
Visit during summer for water activities: Many families plan trips during warmer months for waterfall swimming. "We camped here in July but also stayed at the Inn during the spring. The Inn has a buffet style restaurant, all rooms overlook the lake, and there's a game room for the kids as well as a heated pool. The campgrounds are spacious and have great clean bathrooms," explains Brandie D. about Fall Creek Falls State Park Campground.
Choose sites carefully for leveling: Many RV sites in the area require additional equipment for proper setup. "We spent the weekend at the park in our 21' camper. Site 28 was fairly level, and had water and 30a power. A few looked like they had sewer at them, but ours didn't. Fair warning, sites all seemed to be pretty small," advises Jon S. about Rock Island State Park.
Check road conditions and site restrictions: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges for larger vehicles. "We visited this state park in our 40 foot motorhome. While there are only a few spots that will accommodate a rig this large, it's worth the time to haunt the reservation system and snag one. The road to the park is winding but we had no issues," shares Cheryl C. about Rock Island State Park Campground.
Consider seasonal temperature variations: The plateau location creates different climate conditions than surrounding areas. "We were there on weeknights so there were very few other campers, but there was a lot of trash still evident from the weekend littered across most of the campsites," reports Stephanie J. about Foster Falls, noting that even in less crowded periods, campground conditions can vary.
