    Edgar Evins State Park Campground

    Great Even in the Rain

    We stayed at a campsite by the lake. What I didn’t realize until we got there is that the site is on a wooden platform because the shoreline is a little steep. We had brought a canoe and so it was A bit awkward trying to get down to the lake toting a canoe directly from our campsite. Although, we made it work, and had a great time.

    We fit our truck, 2 tents for 2, and a mini kitchen set up with table and benches comfortably. The running water was fantastic!

    That evening a storm came and I was so thankful for the platform because the rainwater ran off between the wooden slats, no mud!!

    Bathrooms were ok, and had hot water showers.

    Wolf River Resort & Marina

    Friendly Marina & Campground

    This campground is great for larger groups, as they allow multiple tents/campers per site. Most campsites overlook the lake and have a lovely view of sunset. Only complaint is the amount of trash we picked up upon arrival. The beach access was virtually unusable due to trash everywhere, but we spent the majority of our time boating on the lake. Cabins are nothing to write home about, but they were functional and air conditioned.

    Edgar Evins State Park Campground

    Decked out...

    Edgar Evins State Park off I40 exit 268, 4.8 miles to the park entrance.

    As soon as you enter the park you start driving up. The campground starts at the top of the hill and the sites are decks! Pro- you are tree top level and pretty good on privacy with trees in between sites. Con- your fire pit is obviously not on the wood deck so it’s a walk back and forth if you don’t have alternative cooking methods.

    Next something to consider if you are not proficient in backing your camper this may not be the first campsite you wanna practice at. Some of these sites you are backing uphill, up a ramp onto the deck, little tense.

    Another pro- unless it’s Predator they can only come at you from one direction.....( zombies and such. Lol) Con - your either walking downhill or uphill to get to the shower house , that being said there are stairs and trails to take to the shower house.

    I did not stay in the primitive site area but did check out the area. #5 looked like it could support a Tentsile Tree Tent. There was a water point in that area and the sites were spaced out pretty good.

    The main attraction at Edgar is the water, the rather large Marina is directly across from the lowest site level. Take your fishing pole and water craft with you ;) There are trails that are hiker and biker friendly with some nice scenery. Near the front gate is the Caney Fork Outdoors and Big Rock Market.

    Cliff Jumping FTW!

    Stayed at the primitive sites several times for my birthday. Their is parking nearby, but you either have to hike up or down a hill to get too and from the sites. Totally worth it. The facilities are very nice and the hikes I’ve done are lovely! Huge bonus feature is the awesome and picturesque observation tower at the visitor center, which is conveniently near a trailhead. Favorite part of Edgar Evins is the river access, which allows you to do some cliff jumping and offers a beautiful sunset view!

    GlamperGirl

    This is my favorite place to camp. If you have furbabies you will love it. All campsites except the primitive are huge decks. Electric, water, grill, fire ring, picnic table and canopy of trees. Bathrooms are always clean. Showers have hot water fast. Fire wood is all around in the woods. Kayaking is great! Put in below Center Hill dam. 6 mile run of clear cold water! Stocked with trout. I don't fish but if you do, you will need a trout stamp. If you don't own kayaks there is a store called Big Rock Market. You can contact them and they will set you up with kayaks and they drop off and pick you up. So, back to the campground. Dog friendly, clean, 30 and 50 amp.,coin laundry at the camp store. Dump station and trash. Playground for children, view of the lake from most sites. Marina where you can rent boats. I just can't say enough about this awesome place. Friendly staff. I actually just stopped the ranger driving by to ask him a few questions. I am at site 9 this time. Usually 25. Some have inclines or declines. 9 has a slight decline 25 is flat. When you go to the map and click on a site it will tell you. Like site 23 is right next to a bathroom, but it has a steep incline. So pay attention to that when booking. There are hiking trails and wildlife. The woodpeckers start about 6:00 am. LOL! I have not seen a snake in the camping area. Just deer and birds.

    Frozen Head State Park Campground

    Beautiful State Park with a National Park Feel

    Frozen Head is a wonderful place. For starters, the ranger that was on duty at the Visitor's Center was so helpful and kind. The campground is in close proximity to many of the trailheads. There is a nice bathhouse, but all the sites are rustic (non electric). There are also many well kept backcountry sites with fire pits if you are backpacking. The surroundings are gorgeous: the foothills of the Appalachians and the hiking is superb and challenging. If you are able, make sure to hike to the Lookout Tower! This is a great park and campground if you want to experience the beauty of East Tennessee without the crowds of the Smoky Mountains.

    Rock Island State Park Campground

    Beautiful part of Tennessee

    We camped here over the weekend. Our campsite was perfect. Very private and enough space for 2 tents. Not all campsites are made for tents, some have just a concrete driveway. We had the usual amenities, like a picnic table with a bench, fire pit, and a lantern pole. The bathhouse was clean and well stocked. Rock Island offers a lot hiking trails and stunning waterfalls. There is a little coffee/icecream shop just outside the park, which was awesome. We would camp here anytime again.

    Rock Island State Park Campground

    Waterfalls!

    General: Three distinctly different areas: tent only section, cabin area, and the main campground. I didn’t see the inside of the cabins, but they looked very luxurious from the outside, so I am sure they are very nice. The tent area also looks nice. This review focuses on the main campground. 

    Site Quality: Camper pads are all paved but vary in length from 18 to 51 feet. The width of some can also accommodate two cars side by side. Not all are completely level. Each site has a picnic table, lantern hook, fire ring, and grill. All sites have electricity and water, and eight of the 50 sites are FHU. There are many trees to provide separation and privacy, and sites are spaced a decent amount of space apart. Some sites can accommodate tents, and these are indicated on the post. 

    Bath/Shower: Very clean. There was a sign saying the bathrooms are cleaned twice per day. Soap, paper towels, and utility hooks are all appreciated as was instant hot water from the taps. 

    Activities/Amenities: Many outdoor activities including tennis, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, and a playground. There are two hiking trails accessible from the campground. I hiked a short distance on the Bluff Trail until it became narrow and overgrown. There are other hikes that require a drive from the campground. The best hike is in the Twin Falls area but that is a 10-15 minute drive from the campground. There is also a swimming beach with a rentable pavilion and picnic tables. It is possible to walk there but easier to drive. We also saw people kayaking on the lake and fishing is permitted. Each bathhouse also has one washer/dryer for a reasonable price. Free WiFi with a good, strong signal. 

    We enjoyed our two-night stay at this campground and for us, it was a five-star stay but I gave it four stars due to some sites not being completely level and the necessity to drive to the best hike.

    An acquired taste

    I was very skeptical about the sites being pier-like decks. Some of the sites just don’t have a lot of room, especially around the fire pit and bbq. But there are a couple gem spots if you scout before you book. We had a great time. Great place.

Guide to Livingston

Dale Hollow Lake extends over 27,700 acres with 620 miles of shoreline across northern Tennessee, providing ideal conditions for campers seeking lakeside experiences. Campgrounds near Livingston operate primarily from April through November, with most sites closing during winter months due to seasonal weather conditions. Several campgrounds offer glamping options within an hour's drive of Livingston, Tennessee.

What to do

Explore hiking trails: Cumberland Mountain State Park features multiple hiking trails directly accessible from campsites. "We enjoyed hiking the trails and taking in the spectacular views of the Plateau! We will be back!" says a camper at Spacious Skies Belle Ridge.

Fish for trout: Dale Hollow Dam sits near a fish hatchery where rainbow trout fishing is available. "Campground parallels the Obey River. Plenty of fish opportunities from boat, kayak, wading and shoreline," notes Kenny P., who visited Dale Hollow Damsite.

Kayak on private lakes: For a quieter water experience away from larger lakes, try Holpps Pine Ridge Lake. "The lake is a nice sized lake, large enough for boats and jet ski's, but calm enough for kayaks and paddle boards. You can get on a float and relax, swim, fish, whatever you want and the water is calm and clear," writes Lori H.

Visit waterfalls: Rock Island State Park offers waterfall access points within a moderate driving distance. "The falls were nice, but be prepared to get your shoes wet if you walk the trail down towards the main falls," advises Jon S.

What campers like

Elevated camping platforms: Edgar Evins State Park provides a unique camping experience with elevated wooden platforms. "The sites are tiered and you will get a workout if your walking from one level to the next," mentions Shelly S., noting the distinctive setup at Edgar Evins State Park Campground.

Private island tent camping: Tent campers appreciate the isolation of Lillydale's island camping area. "The tent camp sites on the island were aptly distanced from one another. The other campers seemed to have an unspoken sense of support," explains a reviewer at Lillydale Campground And Day Use.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain high cleanliness standards. "Very clean. Nice water view from our site and a short walk to shower facility," notes Bettie C. about Dale Hollow Damsite.

Family-friendly amenities: Multiple recreation options keep families busy. "Our family loves coming here every year; the amenities are kept clean and in good working order... It has a park and volleyball area for kids to play at," writes Chastity G.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between campgrounds. "There was no wifi or cable/TV connection and we had zero cell phone coverage (our carrier is T-Mobile)," reports a camper about their stay at Lillydale.

Reservation requirements: Most popular sites require advance planning. "Reservations needed during peak times," advises Bob T. about Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground.

Water releases affect activities: When visiting dam areas, check schedules. "Make sure to visit the ranger station for a map and safety rules during water releases," recommends Christy E.
