About
State Park
Welcome to Gee Creek Campground, nestled in the Hiwassee/Ocoee Scenic River State Park near Delano, TN. This place is a gem for families and nature lovers alike. The campground is right on the north bank of the Hiwassee River, offering some pretty sweet views and easy access to the water. If you're into kayaking or whitewater rafting, you're in luck—this area is famous for its world-class rapids.
The campground itself is pretty straightforward. You've got your basics covered with drinking water, showers, and toilets. Each campsite comes with a concrete picnic table, a fire ring, and a lantern post. No electric hookups here, so be ready to rough it a bit. But hey, that's part of the charm, right?
Families will love the playground and the fairytale story walk. There's also a nature trail that loops around the park, perfect for a leisurely hike. If you're into fishing, the river's right there, and there's a boat launch for easy access. Firewood is available at the visitor center, so no need to haul your own.
The campground is pretty open and flat, which makes it easy to set up camp but also means you might hear your neighbors. It's a trade-off, but the spacious sites and the natural beauty more than make up for it. Plus, the rangers here are top-notch—friendly and always ready to help.
So, if you're looking for a family-friendly spot with plenty of outdoor activities, Gee Creek Campground is worth checking out. Just don't expect total solitude; this place is popular for a reason.
