  different, in a good way

  I enjoyed my 3 nights. I had a great view of a pond and a row of A-frames but the sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The  sites are very close together but the season is apparently over. Very little traffic even on thanksgiving. The roads are narrow and the trees get close. Th signage could be better but the host left me a text when I arrived and found me while I was waiting outside the office. Very quiet, no road noise or trains or planes. Just a little longer drive off the main highway

  Chickasaw State Park Campground

  Nice Place to Relax

  The campsite was nice. It was divided, the fire pit and the table was up a small hill behind the camper.

  The bathrooms were clean and showers were great. The toilets at least in the women’s bathroom the hinges are on the wrong side so the doors do not open wide.

  The area is nice. We weren’t able to check out the trails due to an injury I received the week before but the area is so nice.

  There were three animals on display ate the animal rehab and owl, Henry (red-tail hawk) and Scarlet (unsure what she was)

  A nice place to relax and recharge.

  SK campground

  Nice and Quiet

  This nice little gem was a great find for the wife and I. Pulling in was tight, but anyone worth their salt driving can get in with no problems. Even though we did not get to meet the host, she was available over the phone and never ignored our calls or texts. There is only one camp site, which means you will, more then likely, have the whole place to yourself. If you do not have a camper, the host does provide and tiny home Air B&B as well. And finally, it was just quiet and peaceful. We slept with windows open in our camper with minimal noise. Highly recommend this out of the way spot

  Pickwick Landing State Park Campground

  Nice stop on rainy night

  Stopped at Pickwick Landing SP on a trip West to the Ozark National River. Nice campground but a little worn around the edges. Campground was mostly empty. We were in site 30, and the only people in that loop on a Friday night. They had recently had a lot of rain, and it rained most of the night. But it didn’t bother us. The asphalt on some of the roads was breaking up making for a rough road. But the campsite was large and mostly level. The bathrooms and showers were modern and well maintained. It is only 20 minutes from Shiloh National Battlefield Park which is worth the visit. We only stayed one night. Also- be sure to visit the Catfish Farm Restaurant. Smoked catfish is outstanding!

  Older campgrounds

  Stayed here for two nights. The site we booked was way too close to the restrooms, so we asked for a different location. The staff was great and let us pick a spot to change to. Lots of wildlife that comes out at dark looking for free food!

  Gate locked after hours

  Arrived at the park a little after 11pm and the gate was locked with a sign saying “Closed 10pm-6am.” On the website it said “first come first serve.” Very disappointing, ended up driving another 30 min and booking a hotel.

  Spaced out sites

  Older campsite some improvements needed in the parking locations. Nice quiet, camping plenty of trees great for the dogs. Watching the squirrels chasing their nuts. We did have a raccoon jump on top of the RV at 1am and I think the wife shit herself! Write that down….

  Peacefull out of the way bare bones. full hookups.

  Camping here was very quiet at night.  deer frequent the property.  There is a pump stattion but the noise is just an electrical hum.  At the time I was camping only had one spot for an RV and tiny home for rent.  They were building a second tiny home.  I have a 29 ft travel trailer,  Manuvering to and withtin the property was tight but doable.  There are full hook ups but you need to take your trash.  Very peacfull stay.  Thank you.

  Chewalla Lake Recreation Area

  A lot has changed since some of these reviews

  This seems a very typical NFS campground. Lots of spots some with electric and water and a number which are primitive. It is rustic. The electric service has an open ground situation so my camper wouldn't take it which was fine but a lot of the year could be an issue. There are bathrooms and private showers. I did not need or use the facilities but they were clean and seemed functional. I am literally the only camper here which frankly I think is wonderful. Tons of places to walk and a lot of nice views of the lake. I will definitely be back and use it for an overnight on my way out or back to my winter location.

  Milan City RV Park

  Lot of night activity

  Nice park, good facilities, but no shower. The description said there was a 'bathhouse', I assumed it had a shower.
  There was a lot of traffic late at night with people parking and staying in their cars for about an hour and a truck that visited each one, not sure what was happening \-:
  There's a highway next to the park with trucks occasionally engine braking.

  Needed a place to sleep

  Pulled in at 9:45 pm. Number to call was on door. Called it and msg said they’d return call next day. We needed to reserve that night. No envelopes in the box to prepay so we continued our travel.

  Quiet, peaceful and cheap. No shower or bathroom facilities. Water has plenty of pressure, and runs clear after a few seconds. Surprisingly nice weather and no mosquitoes or gnats. Free firewood, and portajons on-site

  Multiple reviews/complaints of bad/rude owner.

  The owner is unstable, beware. Multiple reviews can corroborate. I drove an hour and a half with a one-year-old to a birthday party without intending to use the water park. I asked simply if we all needed to pay for water park passes.$20 per person, and when I said it was ridiculous, the owner lost her mind on me. Told me, then don't go then! And I called her business ridiculous. I told our friends I cussed her out. All lies there were children in the office. I never raised my voice, let alone cussed. I told her she needed to learn to talk to people and be respectful, and she told me to get off her property. I seriously hope she gets her help because something isn't right.

  Fall Colors

  This is one of our go to areas , no power at sites , water only , decently clean bath house . Lake access and hiking everywhere . Park rangers are quite nice here . We had a scout troop staying in the campground which I found odd as there are three specific scout areas . Beautiful fall colors

  Awesome campground!

  We were able to get a spot on the run. I didn't reserve ahead as we weren't sure how far we would get on our trip today. The gentleman who assisted us was very polite and helpful. Clean facility! Close to I40 but not too much noise. Was a great choice for us.

  Spacious, Quiet, Clean

  A lot of space in between sites, concrete pads, grassy and quiet. Bathhouse is being renovated so you have to be self contained. FHU

  Pickwick Landing State Park Campground

  Nice park on the Tennessee River

  We camped here for a weekend. There are actually 2 different campgrounds. We stayed at the one with with electric hook ups. The campsite also had a fire pit, lantern pole, and picnic bench. The sites are spacious and not too close together. The bathhouse was very clean. The showers are separate but in the same building. They are a little outdated but had a good water pressure. There is also a little check in booth where you can purchase firewood, ice, and other little things. From the campground you can start hike a 2.8 mile loop on the water. We also stopped at the lodge for dinner one night. It was very nice and the food was good. If you wanna do anything in the water, we saw a sign for a kayak and boat rental. If you bring your own, the park has a nice marina. If you don't feel like cooking, there are nice places around to check out. The dam is very impressive and we saw a lot of people fishing. The park has something for everybody to do and we enjoyed out weekend here.

  We were travel through on our way to Gulf Shores, looking for a one night stay. The sites are level and on concrete. The water connection was was underwater and a little sketchy to connect to.

  Chickasaw State Park Campground

  True Get AWAY!

  Do not trust your GPS to get you here. Make sure you have plenty of gas before leaving any town. Study the direction map link on the web site. There are no signs until you get there. Be sure you're going to the right campground. CSP is big and GPS will take you to many places (wrong places) in the park, many trail but useable roads. Once here, enjoy the tranquility and very friendly, helpful people of the area. T Maybe and Verizon work fine. Didn't try the camp wifi. Did not use the bath house. In general, Tennessee State parks do a very good job. Site was not level but paved. Not crowded at all. Large spaceous sites.
