      East Fork Stables

      Horses galore

      East Fork Stables is a HUGE equestrian campground that , guess what....you don’t have to have a horse to stay at! They have a whole loop complete with a pavilion cookhouse and annoying triangle bell that’s perfect for campers, tents and hammocks.

      The showerhouse is nice and clean. The sites plenty big and mostly shaded. 

      Of course you can use any of the loops but the rest will have some really big animals hanging out. 

      There are miles and miles of trails. Waterfalls , overlooks and scenery. A nice gift shop/camp office and cabins.

      I stayed here for the Cumberland Plateau Stage Race. The race director actually reserved the whole campground for his event.

      Bear Creek Horse Camp — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

      Very horse oriented :)

      Stayed here in April, very quiet! Off to itself. Totally set up for the horse crowd with plenty of horse room :) there is a day use parking and unloading area and direct access to the horse trails. Very open and well maintained. Make sure you have the horse power for the hills going out. I had to back down the gravel hill and get a second run to make it up!

      Bear Creek Horse Camp — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

      Great area for horse trips

      We stayed here even though we didn’t have horses, but those with horses have priority. According to the others at the campground, there are a lot of horse camps and facilities in this area, if you do have horses this is an excellent area to explore. Good hiking trails too. Campground was clean and barely smelled like a farm despite being filled with horses.

      Great Meadows Campground

      Wonderful, peaceful

      No electric..but that could have changed, haven't been in a while. Great for kayaking, fishing, wading, hiking, sightseeing(areas close by to check out), also there are some swimming holes..just have to find them. can camp right by the creek and across the road is a few more spots. Get there early, because it is primitive, just to get a spot. Also, close by is a horse camp...actually a left turn prior to great meadows. Have fun.there is water and an enclosed bathroom. No showers

      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.

      True West Campground & Stables

      Not safe for animals

      Stalls/barn is filthy. The owners had their own horses removed from their custody by animal control for neglect. The horses were skin and bones even though they sell feed in their store.

      Frozen Head State Park Campground

      I hesitate to write this because I don’t want everyone to find out about it

      Frozen Head is lovely. It may be the loveliest campground in Tennessee.

      There’s only 20 spots, and they all seem to be shady and have trees between neighbors. There’s a free book swap hut, like those mailboxes, but a whole building worth of take-one/leave-one books. There showers and bathroom are unusually clean for a campground. There’s a place to wash dishes.

      There’s a great playground and creek at the bottom of the hill. Easy walking distance, but not so close that you have to hear screaming kids.

      The park has a lovely waterfall hike that we did and many others that we didn’t make it to.
