Tucked into Cherokee National Forest in Marble, Tennessee, Big Oak Cove Cove Campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. The site runs lean on amenities, so campers should bring a water treatment system since no treated water is available on-site. Nearby hiking and kayaking make it a functional basecamp. No pets are allowed, and crowd levels have been reported as low during June visits.
Wait, I need to fix the duplicate "Cove" and recheck word count and quality. Let me rewrite:
