Nolichucky Gorge Campground

My teen daughter and I had a last minute midweek opportunity to go tent camping and they were so accommodating and friendly here. Beautiful riverfront grassy tent sites are serene and peaceful. Highly recommended

This is a great spot located right next to USA Raft. There are a handful of tent only riverside camping spots with RV sites set back from the river. A short trail brings you to Cherokee Beach where you can swim and chill out, or float in a tube back to your campsite. Camp can get a little noisy if you are in the RV area though.

The campground is beautiful and very clean/well kept. The bathrooms were clean and the water was nice and hot. The camp hosts are all very polite. The location is perfect and I loved being near the water. I was very happy with everything and already booked my next stay

Loved this campground right along the river. It was awesome when we kayaked and took out at our site. Definitly will return.

Nolichucky Gorge is right next to USA Raft, same road, same entrance to the left. Veteran owned and well maintained. The staff is friendly and professional. River view sites, other sites and cabins. It seems that the two campgrounds have property issues that are not of their own volition. You have to pay to walk the river trail and use the beach if your not a guest of the campground. I only stayed one night , it was peaceful and dark. Access to the Appalachian Trail.

The price is not worth what you get. Sounds and looks great via computer. Spots are described as water front . Totally not true. We were charged full price of 86.06 per night for a spot without full hook up. The second day we were abruptly informed that we were in the wrong spot and we were demanded to move. We told the manager that we would just leave and asked for a refund for the 2nd night. After arguing for 30 minutes we were told we would get half off for the second Night . Terrible customer service for sure Place is a rip off for sure . We are local and will never go back

The campground was very close with people playing music every night until 1 am and it started about 7 am. People partying all night and loud. I turned my air to 60 so it would run and drown out the noise.

At first I was a little panicked that it was going to be a campground that jammed in too many people and we’d have no privacy. It was surprisingly quiet and we had plenty of space. We stayed in the tent spots along the river. It was quiet, we didn’t feel like anyone was on top of us, and the restrooms and general areas felt available.

The water levels are perfect for floating around and playing in the river. There’s even a little path you can take a tube up and float back down. They had a lily pad for general use and a little pond if you wanted something contained.

It’s a great little spot with good people running it. We’ll definitely be back!

Stayed at this place because we couldn’t find anywhere else to stay but we wanted to be on the river. We stay up in the “pines” with our truck camper. They had a 30 amp hookup up there for us. Camp host are awesome people everyone was super helpful. We explored the National Forest most of the time we were there. But use rafting was right there if you wanted to go rafting you could. We will definitely go back to stay. Oh and there is also a small bar Nextdoor at USA rafting.

This is a small quaint Campground just off of I-26 near Erwin Tennessee right on the nolichucky river and off of the beaten path. Restrooms were a little rundown with very little to do. Nice gravel pads that will not accommodate anything much longer than 35'. It looks like most sites are full time and run down. Note that this CG is not far from a nuclear fuel service plant which is also on the Nolichucky River. Closest services are in Erwin Tennessee.

We arrived with a reservation and there was no spot because someone decided to stay longer and someone unreserved showed up. It was just not unorganized and no one seemed to want to move from the spot so we could park our camper. It was a unique campground and after overhearing lots of talk due to the place we were parked we learned they try and over pack the park with people. It’s not your ordinary state park or US park. There is definitely a vibe I’ve never seen before. More of a hippy vibe. We were given a dvd a lady made of here visions. No dogs were on leashes and no one seemed to care. Just bizarre. The river was beautiful if you could see passed the tents. Bathrooms were clean enough but very small. This campground sits on a half gravel/half paved road that is mostly one way as far as width. If you’re hauling a huge camper it’s gonna make you sweat getting to the campground. You will question if your even on the right road because it turns to gravel and cuts under a train bridge. The office was under remodel so there was no “working office” or store. You has to knock on the guys trailer(not creepy at all). They parked our camper in front of his since our spot was given away so we had many people thinking we were the camp manager. Very annoying. There is also a rafting company with cabin rentals in the same area so there are quite a few random people moseying around. It is in a private area but is not private. I would not recommend this place unless you are and old hippy that wants to raft the rapids. If you want a quiet woodsy getaway this is not it. You are likely to have strangers sitting on your picnic table and making themselves at home at your site.

Awesome campground love coming here! It’s super peaceful and super beautiful! The campgrounds are well kept up and there is showers and bathrooms! The camp host are super helpful and super friendly! The campground provides tubes for floating down the river and also there is a rafting center right down the road! Great place for a weekend getaway!
