TravelerOnly stopped for an overnight, so didn’t explore very much, but this is a very nice campground with large sites, hookups, a playground and friendly staff that’s still at work (6:30 pm as i write this).
ScoutThis is a beautiful place about 15 minutes from my house. Unfortunately it’s only open to military and DoD.
ScoutCumberland Mtn. S.P. is a beautiful park, all interactions with staff were friendly and pleasent. Be advised that if you arrive after 4pm as per checking time posted on the website, the office will be closed. Talking to the wonderful staff I found that numerous requests have been made to have the site updated but has not happened. Also, our opinion was that many of the facilities could use a little love, the bathhouses are dated and in desperate need of renovation, and during our stay were void of any cleaning. Even the presence of spider webs and eggs around the windows spoke of neglect in proper cleaning. The park does offer wifi for those wanting to stay connected however for us it would continually go off line and have to wrestle with reconnecting and signing in. Overall it is a very nice park, just in need of cleaning and a little TLC.
ScoutThe game warden acts like he’s god. He pretty much makes the rules up then when questioned he says it’s your responsibility to look after I’ve already looked. Then said I can get you the ordinance right now. When asked for it he had no answer other then it is your responsibility to look. He told us we had to be gone as long as we’ve stayed and told another person he had to be gone a month. Dogs run loose and nothing is done about it. I have no problem with dogs. It’s the unleashed unsupervised that’s a problem.
GuidePlenty of flat fields to park my camper van, get solar charging, and plenty of quiet nights. Close to many trails and the towns are not far for supply runs.
TravelerMy family and I stayed at father Adams over Easter and it was perfect. The weather was very nice and the sites are well maintained. It’s also only about a half mile down to a swimming hole and water fall perfect for swimming in the summer
ScoutGood place to camp parking is a little difficult, especially if it’s raining a bunch as the ground is very soft. Luckily we have 4 x 4 so that didn’t deter us too much but our campsite wasn’t level. We were only there tonight so it wasn’t a huge deal. The camp host was amazing and very helpful. We would definitely stay again.
GuideThis site worked out perfectly. Rock Island has some nice trails and wonderful falls in the area. The site was great with everything out back. Peaceful site.
ScoutStore on sight, water is clean. Hook ups, park bathroom very clean. Dump station. Love the park.
