"Fall creek falls is one of the best recreational areas in Tennessee. The park is very large and has so much to do. The falls are amazing, and it’s a moderate hike down to the base."
"Tons to do at one of Tennessee’s top state parks."
$22 - $28 / night
"Harrison Bay is a huge park, with four camping loops (3 for RVs, 1 for tents), and a large marina, located on the Chickamauga Reservoir of the Tennessee River."
"This is a great family campground and Tennessee State Park located on Chickamauga Lake of the Tennessee River. Good playground for the Grandkids and bicycle paths."
"We live on the lake at home and don't take a boat camping, but if we did this would be a great location for the fisherman or boater."
"The only reason for 4 stars is because the lake sites are so high up it’s difficult to actually get to the lake. They do have nice amenities! Would certainly recommend!"
$21 - $30 / night
"Tons of room to walk and play. Great swimming and fishing. Boating is huge here Bc there are docks all around the campground to pull up to. Playgrounds everywhere."
"They have a frisbee golf course, playgrounds, walking trails, beach, easy access to the water and fields to start up any activity you desire. We read about uneven campsite but ours was pretty flat."

"One being very close to a waterfall. Definitely would recommend to a friend"
"One being very close to a waterfall. Definitely would recommend to a friend. I haven't camped on the eagles bluff, but given the topo map, I'd imagine it would be fabulous"
"All are right at the waters edge with fire rings. There's trash everywhere; we filled a 10 gal trash bag in a matter of 10 minutes."

"You cant beat waterfront and being able to step outside your tent and see water. What also loved was that I didn't feel crammed by other people."
"Seemed to be a lot of locals, which were good to talk with about what to do in the other nearby parks. Shady campsites but open and not too private."
$55 / night
"I should have gotten one of their little cabins...they look cozy and they are right next to the primitive camping."
"The sites are very close together so there is not much room to move around or have pets outside. The rates are higher than I would like to pay but you more amenities for the price."
TravelerMost of the camp spots are littered with peoples leftovers (clothes and trash). Not a quiet camping area lots of road noise and traffic.
ScoutMy girls group and I wanted to do a quick weekend glamping trip. One long rocky road and an active bear warning later we were rocking it by the creek. Bring a bathing suit and some good hiking shoes. There’s a giant waterfall down the trail if you can make the trek. There’s no cell service or security so make sure you’re making safe decisions :)
ScoutThis has to be one of the most beautiful areas to go camping. It has hiking trails bycyclin trails it also has local horse back riding that takes you up near Chilhowee Lake once to the top you get a really beautiful overlook of Parksville lake at one of the centered Islands. Wow what an amazing overlook. There is whitewater rafting or kayaking nearby convenient shopping nearby like outfitter stores , restaurants and of course convenient stores...All places sale souvenirs. This is one of my most favorite places to camp.
ScoutUnique private campsite for your camper. All homes on wheels are welcome. Private wooded 1+ acre lot with only two separate RV campsites. Water, Power, Sewer, Trash Pickup& Lawn Care are all included in price. Circle driveway pull-through. Tree privacy in the summer. Close to a country store/gas station. Only 30 minutes to Chattanooga and only 10 minutes to Cleveland, Tennessee.
RangerExcellent, well maintained site. Several loops, with many sites on the lake. I saw some campers in fishing kayaks come right up to the shore and hop out at their campsite.
ScoutGreat for hammocks and tents
RangerNice campground. I just stopped for an overnight & was pleasantly surprised. Great playground for kids and a pool. Gorgeous walking but hilly for sure. Tons of trees but seems easy to navigate. Easy in and out from my spot. The last couple of miles had me a little worried w/my big rig but it went very well. The road is nicely paved and the trees are cut back. No major curves or turns. Plenty of room. Nice staff. Store has the basics. Very quiet. My site had a patio & a grill & was adjacent to the playground.
ScoutAlthough. This park is very nice and it's been around for many, many years. Set up here is well performed and maintained? But I found it a little high because for what you pay here a month if you stay a month. You could rent an apartment is just one way for me to put it but it is a very nice campground and walmart's food market is right down the road as well as many eateries and let's don't forget there's a mall right down the road as well Northgte shopping mall Probably 4 miles from this place so Men you will be able to keep your wife happy. LOL
GuideWe had such a great time at Cumberland Mountain State Park! Area 1 was especially nice and shaded. It was quiet, clean, and so easy to enjoy. The bonus surprise for us was that the Wi-Fi worked really well, which made it easy to stay connected when we needed to. We’ve already made future reservations and can’t wait to come back and stay at site 25!
