Horse camp on one side and creekside camping on the other.

Well kept and clean. I was there on Wednesday and no one was there. Please be kind and do not leave trash behind.

Nice camping spots on the creek.

Great open lake for small fishing boats and plenty of campsites.

Awesome campground

I always have a great time staying at this campground and meeting many friendly people. The road noise is not as bad as some people say. I mostly hear only the river running. The shower house is always clean, and for $15, it is a great deal. Make reservations on line as it fills up on the weekends.

First to Review
Very primitive

No picnic tables or pit toilets. Flat campsites next to a very nice creek.

Easy access

Can be crowded on the weekends. Right on the river and pit toilets close by.

Nice campsite

CG Manager drove through periodically and was very friendly. I met him on the trail to the falls and took the time to explain the factory that used to be there. Very interesting. Most sites are on the water. Has toilets and showers. I stayed for 3 nights and had a great time.

Free camping next to a beautiful creek.

Very nice CG with picnic tables, pit toilet and trash can. I saw 3 copper heads at the creek.

Fairly primitive

Level spots with picnic tables. Not directly on the river but is accessible. A lot of equestrians stay here but anyone can. It does have a pit toilet that was maintained.

Closed permanently

I've ridden past this CG numerous times in the past few years and it is still closed with dirt pushed back blocking the entrance. It is totally grown over and non usable. I've camped here many years ago and do not know why this was closed.

Motorcycle tent camping and cabins

The name has changed to Smitty's Lodge & CG. I found this awesome campground close to the beginning of the Cherohala skyway in Tellico Plains. Includes picnic table, fire pit and some chairs (they also sell firewood), clean restrooms and showers, use of refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and super nice hosts. I highly recommend visiting this campground. I stayed in a tent, but they do have cabins for rent also. Campsites are level and spacious.
