We got here and there were tons of signs saying reservations required. I quickly made one online and we grabbed a map to find our way. Long story short — 15 mins later we realized that Sequoyah BAY state park is different from just Sequoyah State Park. Not sure why they put both campgrounds on the same map but don’t make this mistake! The other campground was only 20 min away though.

I used the directions from the app and it took us to a road that said no trespassing. We obviously turned around. It was also getting dark so I didn’t want to keep looking.

Definitely get here before sunset! We were arriving around 6pm as the sun was setting and only two sites were left. I was surprised since it was the off season. Amazing views though. Nearest town is 20 min drive away which is nice. Only had enough service to send messages which is just enough.

Great free site. Nice views of both the sunrise and sunset if you get the right spot. Sites very spaced out. Only complaint is it smelled like natural gas later in the night which worried me but then we figured out there were plants near by.
