The park was taken over by the TVA 3yrs ago. Since then they have gone solar and done a fair amount of upgrades around the park. They are currently building another bathhouse (Bravo!) currently there is only 4 restrooms and 2 showers (including public) per gender for the entire park. The sites dimensions are not the same for every site. We originally had site 48 but my large tent 13x20’ (large family) wouldn’t have a chance to fit on that pad, and no other room beside the pad for it to fit either. They were VERY understanding and aloud us to move to site 19 or 20 (our choice, which ever fitted our needs) that was very kind of them! We chose site 19 due to the forecast of rain as it was on top of the hill vs on a plateau between hills. Our large tent still didn’t fit on the pad but we were making it work (until the poles snapped 😞 but, that obviously isn’t their fault). The new tent just fitted on the pad. But then the fire ring is only 1.5’ away from our new tent that - it really needs moved next to the charcoal grill that they provided. Swimming is also only in its one designated spot ( I missed that when scheduling). SUPER busy and loud on the weekend but during the week it was kind of nice. Super friendly staff!
Nice, Friendly and clean campground. The showers have some odd pressure and temp controls but that’s the only negative thing. They had activities for the kids (memorial weekend) like movie night, kayaking excursions, etc.
We stayed on site 263, all sites seem to be set up for RVs, so all sites are virtually on the road, not a make or break it but we prefer to our tent to be tucked back a little. It’s a large site, it has a little ravine where the water runs off which angles our tent a bit. So the site is smaller than it looks but still large enough for our family of 5 plus a large dog.
There are hiking trails and mountain bike trails all over. There is a pathway between our site and the next site that leads down to the lake. It’s easy enough for us to haul our kayak and dinghy boat up and down with the kids help.
