Absolutely amazing, there were beautiful trails/hikes right down the road and it was very clean and the set up itself was just so impressive.

Lakeside spots
Visiting family in Chattanooga who love this campground for their lakeside spots which we were sure to reserve early. Fun to swim directly at your campsite at the Smokemont loop. We like to run and bike, but there wasn’t much for options other than a VERY hilly loop of Gold Circle which still required a short time on the busy Hixon Pike. Beach area looked nice but didn’t use it as we swam at the campground and also from family’s boat. Bathrooms are as expected for a campground, I think the Windy Hills loop has a nicer bathroom and also would be closer to the playground.

GREAT FOR TRAILS AND HIKING
Bathrooms are nice and clean. Sites are a good size. Some are shaded and some are not. Wifi is only at bath houses and main office.

Adventures Unlimited Campground
Adventure Unlimited
This is the park that is a base for taking the rap trips. There is also the bus bar and Grill here that has different entertainment on the weekend so when you’re camping here you will get to hear the music it fills up on the weekends but during the week it’s not too bad people are pretty friendly. One word of note is it it’s a sewer service that comes once every two weeks, you pay an additional $80 for the month if you’re staying here monthly to have your motorhome pumped out twice a month. Site 28 that we stayed in is one of the least level spaces. I would not suggest it.

Davis Pond Campsite
Great!!
Absolutely beautiful. Took a couple of rounds of trial and error to find the spot, which is just a pro for me personally. Once we got there, the place was beautiful. Logging is going on right now, so we were woken up around 6:30 am by the beautiful sounds of machinery and whatnot. Did not catch anything in the pond unfortunately. That’s to be expected when you’re only armed with a Barbie fishing pole and no patience. I have saved the spot and will always be returning whenever I visit Chattanooga!!
John M.ScoutTalona Ridge RV Resort
The best of 2025
They have plenty of pads for pull behinds or the fancy RV. Plenty of hookups for all your needs. 2 pools, weight room, live music, restaurant, bar, dog park, dog bath, and close to all local stores.
