Clean safe spot along I-40

Free overnight parking along I40 in NM. Well lit, feels safe. About 8-15 spots. Flush toilets and sink water, clean. Right next to a gas station and less 1/4 mile of the interstate.

Large private sites

We love this campground! Large private sites throughout. Flush toilets and hot showers nearby. 25 miles of hiking and biking trails starting right from our campsite. F loop is very quiet during the week. $12 non electric. Water spigots can be found throughout the campground. There’s no camp store and no firewood, so bring your own if you plan on making a campfire. 

Super clean!

Our first time to camp here; first impression was how clean the sites are. Warm showers and flush toilets. Our site is overlooking the water, each site has water and electric. $28 for RV sites and $20 for tent sites. Very spacious. About a 15 min drive to Tuscaloosa. No firewood or camp store, so plan accordingly. We loved it!

Quiet clean

Mainly an RV park but they have a grass area set up for tent camping. We passed through and only spent one night. Hot showers, laundry, outdoor pool, game room and WiFi. We didn’t need hookup and asked for a simple camp spot. They placed us in the back which has no designated sites. Simple. Clean. Quiet. $25 per night for a tent spot.

Nice location

We spent 2 nights here. Check in is at 2. First come first serve. Large sites, mostly shaded. Vault toilet was clean. Drinking water available. We stayed at site 14. Only a mile from town.

47 Free campsites

Camping at designated sites is free for up to 14 days. We stayed at WG 19. Shady and near the river. No water or electric. There is a pit toilet about 1/2 mile up the road. Very quiet area. Our site was level and had extra parking for a second vehicle if needed. Trash must be disposed off in town about 4 miles away.

Very clean campground

Our first time to visit this campground. We stayed in E10. Flat level parking pad for our van. E8-12 are not even enough for tents but good for small campers. Each site has a fire ring, table, water, electric on the lower levels E and C. The upper levels A-D have full hookups with sewer. Bathhouses are very clean. The campground is right at the waterfall, a trail from the campground side leads directly to it and you can walk behind the falls. The trails are great for hiking and mountain biking; a total of 13 miles and directly starting at the lower campsites. Just a few minutes from downtown Gadsden if you need to leave for food.

Primitive campsites at the water

We chose a primitive site for a quieter camping night. Although the furthest away from a bathhouse, we truly enjoyed this site. It’s “pick your own” and we picked the site next to Seals hiking trail along the water. Each site has a fire pit and is mostly level. No table, so bring your own. No water spigot so make sure you have your own. Beautiful location with amazing sunsets.

Campsites with bluff views

Pleasantly surprised by this campground. Plenty of sites with lots of space. Some are directly below boulders. Camping is not assigned, so you simply pick a site as you drive through. Some have fire pits, some have tables. No water or electricity at sites but available at the pavilion. Mostly primitive campsites. We loved it! They do have a small camp store for firewood. $12-15 per night. The ladies bathhouse had 3 toilets and 2 showers with hot water. This campground is convenient for bouldering and climbing, simply walk to where you want to climb.

Great for Mountain biking

Our campsite was 13A which is right on the water. Gravel tent site is very large. Picnic table and fire ring. Parking is right above the steps that go down to the tent pad. This site has direct water access for swimming and fishing. This particular site has no shade between noon and 4. It is also very close to the site on the left (#15) separated by about 6 ft of grass. Shared Drinking water access is at this site. Bathrooms are close by with hot showers. No dish washing station nearby. Garbage dumpster is between A and B loop in the side of the camp road. The bathhouses and campground are very clean. There is a 1.5 mile connector dirt trail to the Jackrabbit mountain trail system, so no need to ride on the road. It goes parallel to the road and starts at the Y right before entering the campground. There is no camp store. The closest town for needed items is about a 10-15 min drive away. The 15 miles of mountain bike trails are absolutely amazing for all skill levels.

Hiwassee Outfitter Campground

Our first time here at the Hiwassee Outfitter camping area in Reliance, Tennessee. Most campsites have river view or stream view. One large circle, mostly tent camping. No electric hookup. Water spigots throughout the campground but not directly at each site. Each campsite has a picnic table and fire ring. Very spacious camping on level dirt or grass ground. We had 2 tents and could have fit 3 more. No lights, so it’s pretty dark after 10pm. Campground is next to the outfitters where you can rent kayaks, floats and rafts. We used the Webb Brothers rental company 0.5 miles down the road from the campground because they had same day availability without reservations. The bathhouse has hot showers and flush toilets but it’s rather rustic due to all people using it coming off the river. There is no charge to use the showers. The bathhouse is shared with the daily rafters. Camp-store on site. No phone signal which is ok with us because we like to unplug. There is free WiFi available at the rafting Outfitter store. There is a small restaurant about a mile away “FlipFlop Burger place”; which was a nice surprise. We overlooked the Hiwassee on campsite 43. The river is smooth until 11am. We went fly fishing right from the campsite. The water gets released at 11am, so the current picks up and water levels will rise quickly. A nice place to camp if you come for water fun. If you don’t mind the muddy bathrooms then this is the place for you. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful place to camp

We stayed at the walk-in campground for tents only. Lots of space per site with picnic table and fireplace. Bathrooms were clean. Shower was available. Trails start right at the campsites, so no need to drive to a different hiking parking lot. Dog friendly. Water spigot is available near the bathhouse. Campsite was clean and level.

Semiprimitive camping

We stayed at campsite 117. Water spigot at site. Picknick table and fireplace. Lots of trees for hammocks. A few rocks on the ground and mostly level. The park has 4 separate camping areas, this one has no showers but flush toilets with sink at the picnic pavilion. This area is on an inclined road, just something to keep in mind when walking it up and down to pool area, campstore or bathrooms. Bigfoot trail start at the last campsite. About every 5th site has power, 117 has not. Sunrise and sunsets are both viewable since this campground area is right on top of the park. Easy access to secured trash cans. Fenced in dog park is located near the top of the road near the bathrooms. Overall very clean sites. Some are more level than others. They allowed us to check in early (11am) since the site was unoccupied. All trails are very short (0.5-1mile). Longer trails are accessible via a short car ride. Pool is available to all campers; clean and cool with restrooms. Staff was very friendly. Fire trucks rolled through in the mornings checking sites.
