CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Round Mountain, near Del Rio, Tennessee, is a primitive campground that offers a true escape into nature. It's all about simplicity here, with just the basics to make your stay comfortable while you soak in the serene surroundings.

This spot is perfect for those who appreciate a quiet, isolated experience. Visitors have noted that it’s a great place to park your vehicle, pitch a tent, and enjoy the tranquility of the woods. One camper described it as “very secluded and quiet,” making it an ideal retreat for anyone looking to unwind away from the hustle and bustle.

The campground is surrounded by lush greenery and moss-covered areas, which many find charming. You’ll find vault toilets available, but don’t expect any frills like showers or electric hookups. As one happy camper put it, “Great sites but it does stay moist here since there is so much shade.”

If you’re up for some adventure, you’re just a short drive from the stunning views atop Max Patch, a popular spot for panoramic vistas. The Cherokee National Forest is also nearby, offering plenty of hiking trails and opportunities to explore the great outdoors.

Round Mountain is a solid choice for those who want to disconnect and enjoy the beauty of nature without distractions. Just remember to pack your essentials and leave the pets at home, as they’re not allowed here.

Gorgeous Campsites-Terrible Neighbors

-absolutely gorgeous campsite #6! -creek running through the culvert under our driveway. Concrete picnic table, rocky terrain, a legit fire ring with two grill options, and a nice packed tent pad

-didn’t get lucky tonight as far as neighbors go, super loud and annoying groups at two of the sites nearby. One group in particular drove up at 10:30pm, it was a couple with, what sounded like, at least 3 little kids. They lit their smoky fire at 11:30pm and were jacked up on candy or something. The kids were so rowdy and disrespectful and kept the whole campgrounds up by YELLING non stop until 1AM. At one point they were all so loud that I yelled across the campground “SHUT THE F*CK UP! PLEASE STOP YELLING!! BE COOL!!” And their sassy kid said back, “We’re just talking!” But I swear, there were pterodactyl childish screams again and again, kids yelling at each other, mom yelling at the kids, at least the dad would calmly tell the kids to settle down, butt whippins, mom yelling “Shut Up!” at the kids, they were seriously the worst neighbors I’ve ever encountered while camping. Finally going to sleep now 1:09am

Quiet, isolated, simple.

Basic campground, only a space to park, put your tent and have a fire. Only “amenities” are vault toilet. 

Very secluded and quiet.

One of my absolute favorites!

Very cool, rustic, and secluded site only a few miles from a great panoramic view ontop or max patch. My favorite thing about this site is all the moss scattered throughout
