Primitive sites with easy parking access

Conveniently located near the parking area for the Savage Fall hike, the Savage Gulf Ranger Station Campground offers a primitive and tranquil camping option amidst the natural beauty of the area. This camping destination features multiple campsites that can be reserved in advance through the Tennessee State Park website. Each campsite boasts ample space and is surrounded by lush woods, ensuring privacy and separation from other groups. 

The campground provides essential amenities, including a single pit toilet and a pump offering potable water. For those with electric vehicles, a noteworthy perk is the presence of Rivian car charging stations in the parking lot, providing a sustainable way to recharge while enjoying the wilderness. During daylight hours, you'll find more comfortable restroom facilities at the ranger station, enhancing your camping experience. 

It's essential to plan ahead and make a reservation before your visit, as this campground tends to be in high demand. With numerous breathtaking trails in the area, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explore the natural wonders that surround you. The nearby waterfalls, in particular, offer a refreshing escape from the heat during the hotter months, making it an ideal spot for swimming and cooling off. 

When we visited in late summer, the opportunity to escape the heat and the serene ambiance of the campground added to the overall appeal of this exceptional camping destination. Be prepared to carry your gear to your site, as parking is a short walk away, especially if you choose a site near the back of the loop. However, there's no need to bring backpacking gear, making it accessible to a wide range of campers. Check out the photos included in my review for a better idea of each site and start planning your adventure in this picturesque wilderness.
