Best Campgrounds near Ooltewah, TN

We have camped every Ga State Park but four. Hard to beat Cloudland. Large, tons of activities, well-maintained without losing its outdoors credentials. Most trails are moderate to strenuous because of elevation gain and roots/rocks. The Cave tour is a must, but prepare to get dirty. The West Rim campground is VASTLY superior with tons of privacy, tree cover, great terraces at most sites, with the ones outside ones being the best. Despite being there for the 4th of july, it was quiet. The downside is that getting to the main parts of the park are a drive away or a 2 mile hike with elevation. The East Rim campground is the thing of nightmares - sites on top of each other, no vegetation, no trees, right next to road, zero privacy, but next to outlooks. A couple of the sites towards the back looked ok. Anyway, if you’re an avid outdoors person, this and Black Rock are the best GA parks.

This is a great place to camp, we enjoy staying here they also have some tent sites, wifi is a bit spotty which is to be expected since everyone is trying to use it so either use your hotspot or a mobile internet provider and you will be fine, dog park was well kept, playground has plenty of options for the little ones, the splash pad was a hit for our little ones as they enjoyed it, check in was a breeze as the office folks are very informative as to the surrounding place’s you can visit all really at a relatively short drive…your close to your neighbor but not to close “if that makes since”….will definitely stay here again

My grandson and I spent 23-25 June camping at Father Adamz campground.  All of the sites in the campground are level and have adequate shade.  The water available in the parking lot is either from a water fountain or the bathroom sink.  I am glad we brought along our water filtration system as it was only a short hike down to the river to fill up.

The hike in is pretty steep in parts and very rocky.  Definitely a good workout!  The hiking trails are well maintained and the scenery is great.  

 The short hike down to the base of the waterfall is fairly steep and very rocky, but well worth the effort!

Nestled 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.

Start with, campground has great views of the smokes. Getting to it can be tricky as TN-68 has steep grades and decent curves but is doable for all but the absolute longest if rigs. That said, I was looking for a campground that would be well suited to a motorcyclist and the sites are fairly loose gravel and roads are fairly compacted but still gravel. With the steep grade to get to the lower sites, not the best suited for being on 2 wheels, but it is passable. Because sites are loose gravel, leveling can be a challenge is your rig does not auto level. Cell service with T-Mobile not existent. They have WiFi but not very fast.
