Edgar Evins State Park Campground

Great folks to work with hand an amazing time will be back again and again must check it out for yalls own selves!

Possibly the most extraordinary campsite I have been to. Large decks suspended over the hillside, some with excellent views of the lake. We were here for one night off season, I imagine if you are here in summer you wouldn’t want to be on the side of the marina. We were originally in site 7, but moved to 53… sites 1-12 definitely take some parking skills

 I go across country to camp in the southwest twice a year and I always stop here coming and going. This is one of the best places I ever camped out due to the platforms or decks coming out of the mountain facing the lake. Bathrooms are always very clean and whole campground is always kept up. I'll be heading back to EISP sometime in May.

Camped in the rv spots. All the spots were clean and spacious. Each spot was sort of raised deck. Facilities were clean. Would recommend.

Campground is great with unique platform sites. The bathrooms were clean.

The wooden platforms offer a cool, unique campsite experience. Unfortunately, the fire ring and sitting area is to the side of the platform, right on the road. Many people park along the road because they can’t fit their big camper and vehicle both on the platform. It made for a few very tight squeezes.

We enjoyed dinner at the marina and climbing to the top of the lookout tower.

Each site is on a wooden deck constructed over a ravine, some are next to the lake. Pay close attention to the specifics of what will fit in each site - many will not work for larger rigs. This is one of our all-time favorite campgrounds because it’s so unique.

We stopped in for a quick overnight on a road trip. It was nice separation between sites. Good clean bathhouse.

This campground is very heavily wooded and overlooks Center Hill Lake. Most sites are on large wood decks built into the hillside that are robust enough to drive rvs onto. Well maintained and a real value price. Only issues were a very steep approach onto the deck (dragging bottom of tow hitch) and electrical hookups on the wrong side for back on. We were able to dolly around on the hitch wheel.

Camped here on the way home. We got in late so we didn’t get to really explore but waking up we got to see how pretty the park is. Bathrooms and showers are spotless and smell clean. They have a place to buy wood and a camp store.

The RV camp sights are suspended in the air using steel columns and wood planks. It works well for our vampier but the inclines on the roads are very steep. Think twice before you bring the big rig. Overall it’s a really nice camping spot. We will be back.

Huge decks built-in to the side of the hills to park your RV on

Last minute find after check in had closed. Ranger Chadwell helped us find a spot for the night and gave us info about the park.

Bathrooms were clean, showers with hot water sites overlooking the lake were great and it was very quiet at night.

Well kept campground. Lots of space between sites and very hilly- all sites are like a deck. If able get sites lower toward the water. Does have primitive sites

Camping on raised wooden platforms was like no other campground I’ve ever seen. The park ranger claimed it is the only campground in the world like this. Tons to do in the park as well. We went to the visitor center, nature center, storybook hike, and walked around the lake.

A beautiful and unique campground built I. The side of a rolling hill. All of the sites are cantilevered platforms on the hill. The platforms are heavily engineered so no worries about collapse! The platforms make for very level camping and amazing views. You feel like you are in a tree house. The park is a gorgeous property with a lake and hiking trails. There are ADA sights. The hills are steep and some of the sights have angle ramps. Each one is well detailed on the reservation sight so make sure you read the site info. There is a bathhouse, laundry, camp store and Park office. This is the only campground in the US like this and it is all nestled in the Tennessee hills.

I've stayed here a few different times. The sites are level but may have a steep incline or decline to reach pad.  The campground is hilly but several sites have good views of the lake. Most have some shade. Clean bathrooms.

We had fun! A unique experience to camp on wooden decks looking out on to the lake. My only complaint was the power was having some issues with the power. It was fine with my little family in our tent, but some of my family in their camper wasn't happy. The ranger and electrician worked on the breaker until 1am. So it wasn't like they didn't care. Some of the platforms were very difficult for larger campers to park without scraping the bottom. I was grateful to only have our tent to worry about.

We love the platform sites that are so spacious and private. Easy access to dump station and bath houses. Almost all sites have view of water. It was very peaceful and quiet. It is very affordable especially for state employees. We will return.

November 16, 2020 We arrived after dark, and left fairly early the next morning so didn’t spend a lot of time there. Went for a short walk before we left in the morning. Parking sites are on wooden platforms which was fine for our Winnebago Revel, but a bit weird for my daughter who was sleeping in a tent, but it all worked out fine. The only amenities we used were the dump station and restrooms. Restrooms were clean and heated.

Beautiful lake and limestone formations but that’s about all we saw of the park.

Clean and we'll maintained, busy but great.

Be wary of the speed bumps throughout the campground, they are closely spaced and rather abrupt, take them very slowly. The sites are all elevated platforms due to the steep slope to the lake, which we had not encountered before, but are very widely space. We were in site 50, which had no visibility to DISH west satellites, and we were not able to pick up and OTA TV with our omni antenna. Most of the fire rings are in a narrow strip of gravel along the road, but you can get chairs around most of them. The campground was less than half full during the week. There are several trails in the park, but we were only here two days and only got to hike the one to the marina, which was nice. AT&T had 2 bars and 1 MB/s w/o a booster, 3 bars and 4 MB/s with it. Overall WiFi was problematic. We were able to get connected and got 3 MB/s once, but unable to get a connection with any data rate the rest of our stay and the park was not that busy.

Secluded and beautiful park with excellent restroom facilities. We stayed in a lot right on the lake and hiked down a few rocks to go swimming in the lake before dinner. Cooked on the grill next to our platform. Saw max 3 or 4 people the entire time. Would definitely return. Lots of elevation in the site—be prepared to walk uphill to the toilets!

I was very skeptical about the sites being pier-like decks. Some of the sites just don’t have a lot of room, especially around the fire pit and bbq. But there are a couple gem spots if you scout before you book. We had a great time. Great place.

I’m not sure how to put it all into words. This might be the most perfect setup we had found. The grounds are ideal for any weather, which is probably why it is open year round. They have primitive campgrounds, electric, premium electric, and cabins. All are great and all offer a view. The staff has been amazing as well. Everything is nice and clean and very well maintained.

I can’t complain about anything that is for sure. The platform camping is new to us but certainly ideal. We stayed in 38 as we didn’t want to have a view of the marina. However any of the sites would be good sites. I would suggest the sites around the handicap sites as they are lower and the view is obstructed plus you can get down to the water.
