Reservations are essential during summer months when waterfront sites at Tims Ford State Park fill quickly. Most campgrounds in the area maintain moderate to good cell service, though coverage can be spotty in more remote locations. Summer humidity makes insect repellent necessary, particularly at Old Stone Fort where one camper noted, "If you are going to the campground during the summer, you will need a good DEET based bug spray." Spring and fall offer more comfortable temperatures and less crowding. Winter camping remains available at several year-round facilities, though water systems may be winterized.

Waterfront access represents a significant draw for campers in the region, with Tims Ford Lake providing popular swimming and fishing opportunities. According to one visitor, "The best thing about this spot is the lake access for swimming. The trail leads to a great swimming or fishing spot." Campsite privacy varies considerably across the area. Old Stone Fort sites are described as "very close together," making weekday visits preferable for those seeking solitude. The region's waterfalls and hiking trails serve as major attractions, with many campgrounds positioned to provide convenient access to these natural features. Most established campgrounds offer clean restrooms and basic amenities, though several reviewers mentioned that some state park facilities would benefit from updates.
