Davy Crockett Birthplace State Park Campground

On a road trip with my adult daughter, we had planned to stay at this campsite just one night, but we loved it so much that we ended up staying a second night.

The prices were reasonable, and many of the campsites were generously sized, many of them with lots of trees shade. Ours was right next to the river, which meant we could watch the water go by as we were sitting there at the picnic table enjoying a meal. 

Maybe we got lucky, but all the neighbors were reasonably quiet and some of them were quite friendly. 

We appreciated the fact that there are a few trails right there on the property and that there is also a museum on the property where you can learn lots about the history of this famous Tennessean for which the campsite and park were named.

I have visited This little Gem in East Tenn. For the Best part of my life. I have seen this place change from the small little campground & Swimming Pool , with the little Cabin starting in the mid 80's. As a Family Reunion was always Scheduled there for the Nickles,Hicks,Dykes, Edwards clan.And the best memories of my Crazy Partying Parts & Aunts .But always respected the other Members 

 This has included some of my best Fishing Memories,catching a Monster of. CatFish in the back honey Hole! Made my Father so proud.

So of course as a Father of 3 sons,who now are having children of their own. I of course made sure they had there fill of this great place.

We had an excellent time at Davy Crockett Birthplace.  Very clean facilities. Friendly staff and quick check-in.

Very well kept campground. Staff were very nice. One of the cleanest parks I have visited. Lots of historical places to visit in the area. Slightly tough to get to, thats why only 4 stars. Don’t let that keep you from visiting.

This is a great park to go camping, swimming at their nice pool, great fishing in the nolichucky river, but very dangerous river , DO NOT SWIM IN. but overall great place.

We try to bring our family here at least once a year. The park staff are awesome and the park rangers here are great. I would recommend this park to anyone who's is looking for a peaceful getaway.

Very nice, but small sites. Full hookups and wifi at a state park, which is nice. Historic area with demonstrations and visitor center. Beautiful hiking trail by the river and riverside sites

We stopped for just one night but this is a site you'd want to plan for more. The sites are level and a nice distance apart. The trails are nice and the river makes this site ideal. There is a museum and welcome center with information on Davey Crockett and the area along with a playground and lots of room to roam. The bathhouse and laundry are clean and modern and Camp Host John was friendly and offered any assistance we might require. The site has a replica of Davey Crockett's cabin which was interesting and thought provoking for history buffs like us. The site has recycle ♻️ containers located in the park and that gives bonus points in my opinion👍. The drive to the site is off the main road with hills and turns but with the scenery along the way, you won't mind.

Just a very small campground, seems to be family friendly with just enough amenities. There's a playground, sand boxes and paved semi level RV pads. I wouldn't come back but the place is very quiet. If you're into that...

This park is right on the banks of the Nolichuckey river. It had nice trails for hiking. There is river access for fishing or launching a water craft. We were there in December when the weather was chilly and practically had the place to ourselves. The bathhouse was exceptionally nice and there was also laundry and wifi available.

Well kept and beautiful. Very relaxing with the sounds of the river. Full hook up we’re reasonably priced. We are looking forward to a return trip.

Nice campground with full amenities. Have stayed here at least 2 X per year the last several years. Restrooms/Bathhouses are always clean. This is a small Park, but they always have something going on in season.

This campground was a good find. Right on the river, not too crowded, and plenty of space between sites. Sites were nice and level. Bathhouses were good! The park was surprisingly small. But if you need a spot to camp in the area I would recommend this campground. (We were in a pop-up camper)

Nice camp spots on the river with a pool.

This is a good kid friendly car camping spot. Lots of history and cabin replicas from Davy Crockett era. A joke along the banks of the Nolichucky River and even a pool on site. There is a heritage village and museum that you can walk or drive through with reinactora on site.

The camp grounds run right up against the river which makes for a nice view and are well kept. Haven't been able to check out the new pool renovations yet but I hear from good friends it's pretty nice. Playground is great and was perfect for our girl scout trip. There's also a sweet man who gives tours of the replica farm of David Crocket.. in character and costume. Clean bathrooms. Overall a great place to camp, particularly with kids.

Lots of pull through spaces for larger campers and small ones as well. Beautiful view of Nolichucky River. Large swimming pool, TONS of historical events around, hiking & river walks. Super clean and new bath houses as well. Honors Tennessee state discounts. If possible make reservations online.

Awesome

I try to camp several times a year at DCBC. It's always a pleasure to enjoy the history and programs.
