TVA Public Land- Fork Bend
La Follette, Tennessee11 Reviews65 Photos348 SavesWelcome to TVA Public Land - Fork Bend in Tennessee! This spot is a hidden gem for those who love a bit of adventure and don't mind roughing it. Nestled in the woods, this area offers stunning views of the lake and a peaceful, remote atmosphere.
The camping here is primitive, so don't expect any frills. There are no toilets, showers, or drinking water, so you'll need to come prepared. Fires are allowed, and you'll find several fire rings scattered around. It's a great place to pitch a tent or park an RV, but keep in mind that it's not big rig friendly.
One of the standout features of Fork Bend is its natural beauty. The sunsets and sunrises over the water are absolutely breathtaking. The area is also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the adventure.
Visitors have mentioned that the road leading to the campsites is a bit rough, but you don't necessarily need a 4x4 to get there. Just take it slow and steady. The campsites are spread out along a long dirt road, offering both shaded spots under the trees and open areas with lake views.
While the area is beautiful, some campers have noted that there's quite a bit of trash around, so it might be a good idea to bring some extra trash bags and do a little cleanup. Despite this, many have found the experience here to be incredibly rewarding and peaceful.
If you're looking for a quiet, scenic spot to camp for free, and you don't mind a bit of a challenge, TVA Public Land - Fork Bend is definitely worth checking out. Just remember to pack everything you need and leave no trace. Enjoy your stay!
