Dynamic pricing

Use to be one of my favorite campgrounds. Campspot has turned it into a money racket. Educate yourself and look up dynamic pricing which nothing but greed. If you see prices over their normal it’s dynamic. Not to mention site lock which if isn’t paid they could move you to an unleveled site not of your choice.

Not Senior Friendly any longer

This use to be a nice campground and still is as far as looks and on the water that is.

The bad is....

Sites are too close together and some very unlevel.

No sewer hook-up

Pricey...$50+ a night

NO SENIOR DISCOUNTS....

Not budget friendly....

This is NOT the way most TVA campgrounds are run,,,,,,

Will not be back until New Managment......

Busy

This campground is kept up nicely but the sites were too close together for us.  We went and got a secluded site only to have a large group settle in for the weekend in the sites all around us.  

Beautiful lake and nice beach area

Excellent site - - -

We enjoyed our stay at site 13. Waterfront site that’s level and clean. No issues with water or electrical hookups. Always something special about campfire breakfast. We leave with good memories and look forward to staying there in the future.

Great place to relax

I liked this place very much, but the sites were a little awkward to get into. Bring extension cords for hookups or really study the spot before parking. Difficult to level in some spots. Close to the lake was flooded after heavy rain. I also had no cell service in b loop. Enough for phone, but not really any other connectivity. All that said, it’s an excellent place for families, people wanting to get away. If I got a 4g/lte booster I would definitely stay again.

Hidden Gem

An amazing campground! Maintained great! Beach area is clean and away from the main lake. Our campsite was right on the water. Even tough it was full, it was quiet! Staff was super helpful and friendly! We will definitely come back!

Beautiful Waterfront

If you plan to go camping here, pay a little extra & get waterfront. We had so much of our own space & could literally walk right out of our camper & go for a quick swim. We love finding places like this for us & our dog in the summer time. This is one of our favorite spots so far!

Just beautiful

Pull through spots right by the water, friendly neighbors willing to help. The reservoir is just beautiful, peaceful nights perfect for fire fly watching.
