  East Fork Stables

  Horses galore

  East Fork Stables is a HUGE equestrian campground that , guess what....you don’t have to have a horse to stay at! They have a whole loop complete with a pavilion cookhouse and annoying triangle bell that’s perfect for campers, tents and hammocks.

  The showerhouse is nice and clean. The sites plenty big and mostly shaded. 

  Of course you can use any of the loops but the rest will have some really big animals hanging out. 

  There are miles and miles of trails. Waterfalls , overlooks and scenery. A nice gift shop/camp office and cabins.

  I stayed here for the Cumberland Plateau Stage Race. The race director actually reserved the whole campground for his event.

  Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park

  Almost a 5 star

  Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park is right on the Kentucky/ Tennessee boarder and not a short drive from anywhere. It is out in the farmlands, but worth the drive.

  I drove to it from Cumberland Parkway, a very picturesque drive. The GPS took me right to the entrance no issues like there are with some other parks.

  Once there the main areas are very well marked. The camp store has a somewhat useful map that will get you there by road.

  My disappointment and frustration was the trails marked on the map. I'm not sure if some spurs are new, not used often or being reclaimed but we would start down a trail that had a trailhead sign and then the trail would just disappear into the weeds or a field with no signage.

  The trail to Eagle Point was well used and a good walk to an awesome view.

  The Campground is set up in what I call wagon train circles (lol) if your going with a large group it's perfect. People parked their toys and cars in the middle and set up in the sites around the hub.

  if your not with a group you will probably have an opportunity to met your neighbor. There is not a lot of shade. There is a pool on site and cute little blue cabins to rent. Newer restrooms and a dumpstation. Tge horse ampground was adjacent to the regular campground.

  The Marina and Lodge are at the end of the road and there was a golf course on the way in. Pretty much covers all the bases of outdoor entertainment.

  Bear Creek Horse Camp — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

  Very horse oriented :)

  Stayed here in April, very quiet! Off to itself. Totally set up for the horse crowd with plenty of horse room :) there is a day use parking and unloading area and direct access to the horse trails. Very open and well maintained. Make sure you have the horse power for the hills going out. I had to back down the gravel hill and get a second run to make it up!

  Bear Creek Horse Camp — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

  Great area for horse trips

  We stayed here even though we didn’t have horses, but those with horses have priority. According to the others at the campground, there are a lot of horse camps and facilities in this area, if you do have horses this is an excellent area to explore. Good hiking trails too. Campground was clean and barely smelled like a farm despite being filled with horses.

  Great Meadows Campground

  Wonderful, peaceful

  No electric..but that could have changed, haven't been in a while. Great for kayaking, fishing, wading, hiking, sightseeing(areas close by to check out), also there are some swimming holes..just have to find them. can camp right by the creek and across the road is a few more spots. Get there early, because it is primitive, just to get a spot. Also, close by is a horse camp...actually a left turn prior to great meadows. Have fun.there is water and an enclosed bathroom. No showers

  Daniel Boone National Forest Little Lick Horse Camp

  Listen for banjos

  You will drive and drive and drive...and drive on the gravel road. However the road is good and the signage will get you there! Follow the little tent signs to Little Lick Horse Camp in the woods of Daniel Boone NF. The Nathan McClure trailhead is in the campground so there will be other traffic coming in. There are a few good size sites, with picnic table, fire ring and not much else. This is primitive, to include no toilet so bring your bucket or whatever you use.....remember Leave No Trace ;) Dark and starry skies, quiet and woodsy....try not to think about any scary wood based movies. Horses, llamas, trail bikes and dogs would be perfect for this campground. The sites are big enough for more then one tent or hammock. There are several other nice/challenging trails nearby and the Rattlesnake Motorcycle route in the area.

  Bear Creek Horse Camp — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

  Nice, quiet campground.

  Each campground had a place for horses, the campground was clean, easy to drive, easy to set up, and the bath house was very clean. Awesome trails to hike with beautiful scenery.

  Bandy Creek Campground — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

  Remote camp

  This is a large campground with excellent facilities.   Big South Fork is located in a very remote area of TN and KY.  Miles of Great hiking, biking, horse and motorized trails.  There is plenty to see and all of it is beautiful.   One of my favorite sites is the Twin Arches, worth the hike.
