  Gate locked after hours

  Arrived at the park a little after 11pm and the gate was locked with a sign saying “Closed 10pm-6am.” On the website it said “first come first serve.” Very disappointing, ended up driving another 30 min and booking a hotel.

  A lot has changed since some of these reviews

  This seems a very typical NFS campground. Lots of spots some with electric and water and a number which are primitive. It is rustic. The electric service has an open ground situation so my camper wouldn't take it which was fine but a lot of the year could be an issue. There are bathrooms and private showers. I did not need or use the facilities but they were clean and seemed functional. I am literally the only camper here which frankly I think is wonderful. Tons of places to walk and a lot of nice views of the lake. I will definitely be back and use it for an overnight on my way out or back to my winter location.

  Open in 2023

  Quiet, peaceful and cheap. No shower or bathroom facilities. Water has plenty of pressure, and runs clear after a few seconds. Surprisingly nice weather and no mosquitoes or gnats. Free firewood, and portajons on-site

  Multiple reviews/complaints of bad/rude owner.

  The owner is unstable, beware. Multiple reviews can corroborate. I drove an hour and a half with a one-year-old to a birthday party without intending to use the water park. I asked simply if we all needed to pay for water park passes.$20 per person, and when I said it was ridiculous, the owner lost her mind on me. Told me, then don't go then! And I called her business ridiculous. I told our friends I cussed her out. All lies there were children in the office. I never raised my voice, let alone cussed. I told her she needed to learn to talk to people and be respectful, and she told me to get off her property. I seriously hope she gets her help because something isn't right.

  Long journey

  This was a last minute stop but something told me to stop here and check it out. The customer service was awesome and pricing was great. There is loads of things to do kinda wish I had more time to explore. When I head back East I plan on stopping again. Next vist the kids will have to come for sure. So two thumbs up and a Hey Yo. ☮️&I’ll 👀I around like a 🍩

  Serendipity Resort and Campground

  Nice place with lots to do.

  We are somewhat local to this campground. We heard about it from a friend. We decided to give it a try.

  Campground is clean and organized. The pads are made up of ground pavement. They are quite close together. Each site has its own 50/30/110 electric, water and sewer connections. This was a great surprise.

  The bathrooms are a bit of a walk from the sites. They have a shower house by the water park area. The stalls are toilet/shower combo. Only problem is the only handicapped accessible shower is in this shower house and they don’t allow you to drive there unless you have a golf cart. And they do rent golf carts for $50 a day.

  There is 2 more 24hr toilet/shower stalls in the lower half of the camp store. The camp store is open 8-8. The camp store has most of your daily needs such as ice and toiletries and firewood.

  We were there for 3 days and my kids used the water park. They had a blast on the jumpers and got very wore out. The water park is a $20 charge a piece on the first day and goes down to $10 a day for the rest of your stay. Be advised you will be charged whether you are going in the water or not. If you are going down there you are being charged.

  There is paddle boarding,kayaking, and a small John boat included with the park. There is also a very nice spacious pool that is included as well. The pool is 11ft deep so there’s no issues with using the diving board. Unfortunately we did not get to try the restaurant while we were there and will try on our next visit. There’s plenty of room to walk around and a fire tower to climb. You can see some great views up there. There’s also Yurts for rent and cabins. They all look well kept and up to date. The roads do narrow down a bit when first coming in so be prepared to watch your corners. All in all we will be back and recommend trying this new campground. Only reason for 4 stars is the bathrooms being so far and the sites being quite close together.

  Service, not so much!

  We live nearby, so we drove over to see if this is someplace we would like to camp. We went into the office, and asked if we could look around. They said sure, just walk. We found a few sires we liked, so we went back to book for the following week. We were told that we would have to do that online, and that they couldn't guarantee the site we wanted. The lady had just checked availability, so theyknewwhat sites were available, but weren't willing to book one with us. It seemed nice, with a lot of fun activities, but their reluctance to work with us put us off. We won't be camping there anytime soon. It's a new campground, so maybe they will figure out customer service someday.

  Dump

  If you need where to stay on your way to a destination, it will do the job. Verizon & AT&T good. T mobile non existent. This park is in total disrepair. There is nothing to do around here and there is nothing to do in the park. They do have a rifle range I am going to try out later. There is nothing in the clubhouse except a pool table. The office is always closed I’m not even sure if they have a store. This is not where to come to do anything at all other than an overnighter perhaps and even at that I don’t think I’ll ever do that again.

  Nice Little Campground

  This is a small 15-spot campground but they have pull-through sites for some large RVs. Full hookups on all sites. Small shower house. $22 a night for us.

  Not much going on

  Lots of open spaces. Many overgrown spots and less than level sites. Almost a ghost town. Friendly staff.

  Closed

  Due to vandalism, the park is closed until further notice. However, it does seem rather run down and doesn’t look like it’s been used in the last couple of years that much. Too bad.

  Beautiful Campground and Rapture area

  I absolutely love the birds at the office area. It should be advertised better. It may entice more visitors. The drive through site are going the wrong way. The showers are small, but very clean.

  Great one nighter!

  This is a no frills campground but it's great as a 1-nighter coming to or from the gulf coast. Accepts Passport America discount making the price just right. Sites are perfectly level, utilities all work great. Most sites are pull through and long enough to park without unhooking, even with longer rigs. There is an on-site bathroom but it's just a single bathroom with a shower. Driveway is a bit steep pulling in and out. I did not have a problem with a 36' TT but a low sitting RV with a long rear overhang may have trouble getting in/out without scraping.

  So Very Disappointed

  Was scheduled to be there for 6 nights. This park is in the middle of no where. No one at guard house when we arrived about 1 pm. Finally got someone to come and show us where to park. We have a 45 ft class A. We needed a 50 amp site. Only 50 amp sites had annuals on it. Site he took us to was so uneven. He just said pick one and took off. While trying to get rig in place an extremely large tree broke off and barely missed us. Dump station was in such a bad place we couldn’t get to it. The next day my husband and I drive around an we estimated only 25% of the sites are useable. Campground needs some TLC
  We left after one night. Took two other rigs with us. They were disgusted also.

  Very nice site!

  My two kids tent camped while my parents had their pop up! It was a nice site. There were enough trees that my brother in law was able to set up his hammock system. The site was well kept. There were hardly any blood sucking bugs and no wildlife for protect our stuff from. I think part of that is this site had flooded and rebuilt recently. The staff was very friendly and the area near the dam was really neat. The site is also very close to Pickwick State Park.

  Great view and great staff.

  Beautiful view on the TN River and the Pickwick Dam. The only negative is the noise and smell of the paper mill on the opposite side of the river. It is also close to the Shiloh National Military Park which is the reason we are here.

  So Clean!

  This campsite was renovated after flooding occurred. Nice level sites! Our Super C Class did require more blocks for leveling in the front on Site 6.  However, it was a very nice site with plenty of privacy. This site backed up to tall Pine Trees and plenty of grass area for our pups.  New grills.  Updated picnic tables.  Nearby to several local restaurants. If ever in the area, we would return again.  Our A&T Cell Phone and T-Mobile Mifi worked great here.

  I cannot recommend this campground.

  We used this campground as an overnight on our way to Arkansas, was going to stay on the way back but cancelled due to our experience the first night.  Roads inside the campground were atrocious, required dodging tree limbs and holes. The entire campground seemed run down, camp host site looked like a seasonal site.  Site was fairly level with 30amp electric and water.  There is a dump station, but I refused to use it as it was flooded.  Bath house was adequate but very dated and not well maintained.  The main thing I disliked was the feeling of insecurity, the site behind us had some unsavory folks as did some other sites.  I'll not bother with this campground again.

  Nice Spot

  This place has been totally rebuilt by the TVA after flooding in 2019. I don't know what it was like before, but wow it's really nice. All the sites are level, plenty of room for a tent and RV on all 92 sites. Close to some great golf & BBQ, fishing,& Shiloh Battlefield.

  The perimeter sites are roomier, offer more privacy than the interior ones. Bathrooms and shower houses spotless.

  Stopped here for one night on my way East. Average campground peaceful and quiet. Bathroom could use updating.
