Great campground for the week

We stayed for 6 nights on 2 sites, right next to the bath house. Laundry was free and on the back of the bath house (2 washers, 2 dryers). Bath house was clean. Showers were on a timer (60 seconds at a time, two levels/ pressures, one temperature, you get what you get and don’t pitch a fit). Lots of ticks but that was expected. Sites are good sized.

Great location for a night

Pros: clean bath house, convenient to SUP Kentucky/Gorge underground, level sites (smaller though)

Cons: traffic noise, no cell service (which is a pro for some)

Great location!

Excellent location for hiking hocking hills area. Bath houses could really use updating, showers were 50/10 pressure going 200 directions. The only bath house with laundry is the one by the pool. Our site looked much larger in photos but we made it work, although it was pretty steep.

Great location for exploring new river gorge area

We stayed two nights. The site was steep to get up to the more level portion (which was only level for my camper because it’s so small). Someone had left a bag of dog poop in the fire pit. The bathrooms were clean, although the drainage for the showers wasn’t working right and would flood. Overall it was great, quiet, and staff was very helpful.

Well kept, lovely park

We stopped for one night along a road trip. Bathrooms were fantastic, site was paved and level, rangers rode through and did our check-in at our site for us.

Good for what it is

Pros: staff was super nice and accommodating, super close to cedar point, store had just about anything you’d need, everything worked fine

Cons: very dated bathhouse (although generally clean), some of the sites need maintenance, cost

Great campground close to the falls

Bathrooms were clean and nice, sites were good size and good spacing apart, plenty to do at the campground if you aren’t going to the falls, if you are it’s about 10-15 minutes drive.

This is it

This is the place that will raise the bar for all the others

Everything was fantastic. If I could pick ONE thing to improve it would be bigger shower stalls. But seriously. There is so much to do and so much amazing staff that you’d never have to leave.

Not entirely a campground

This is more like a long term stay place that has a couple of short term sites. The staff was accommodating for getting my husband closer to the bath house, but of the three sites available, none of them were good. There was trash in our fire ring and on our site, we were surrounded on all sides by permanent RVs.

Absolutely beautiful!

The wild ponies are fantastic. The sites are level and paved. There is NO water/electric on the majority of the sites (there is both at the bath house, which is clean and remodeled and beautiful). There is also zero shade (which was great because I was charging my teardrop via solar panels).

The bugs will eat you alive. Bring bug spray. And fly paper strips.

Good state park

Our site (99) ended up being accidentally pull through (I don’t think it was intended to be) but wasn’t level. It seems like it was meant to be a tent site as it had a level tent pad in the back. We were able to get everything on it and were right across from the bath house and a short walk from the beach.

Only major downside was that there were some loud drunks across from us, right next to the host, and they were obnoxious and foul mouthed late into the night. However it was Memorial Day weekend so I half expected it 😔

Good for one night

Stopped here for one night on a road trip. Check in was quick and easy, staff was great, bathrooms were older but clean. Definitely highway noise but they provide complimentary earplugs if you need them.

Great base for exploring NOLA

We booked this very last minute to meet family in NOLA.

The bathrooms were kept clean. The campground was nice. Getting around was a bit confusing but the lady on the phone gave very detailed instructions since we were arriving after hours. The wooden platform on our site seemed like it was on its last legs.

Our neighbor was an employee of the park and he and his wife were absolutely a treasure!

Also, coming from camping in Gatlinburg the month before (18 degrees) to here, we were not prepared for how hot and humid and full of bugs it would still be at the end of December. Lesson learned!

Excellent except…

So, the location is great. The bath houses are great. The customer service is great.

But the sites are sooooo small and tight, and the cost is… quite a bit. Not saying the cost isn’t fair considering the amenities (and activities, although it was too cold when we went for that), but if you’re just looking for a place to sleep while exploring Gatlinburg, then you aren’t necessarily getting your full money’s worth.

We stayed on sites 70 and 71.

Good for relaxing

We were on sites 103 and 104. Lake access was down a bit of a hill but manageable. The sites are almost buddy sites and you can drive between them.

Great hikes!

We stayed at Table Rock in August of 2021.

•The bathrooms were clean but could use a little updating •The sites are gravel, but it’s very large gravel that is difficult to walk on or move anything wheeled over. Otherwise they were level once you got onto the site and the website specifies which sites have slopes and which don’t. We were on sites 66 and 68. •Hiking is excellent, and staff were very helpful!

Beautiful camping and beach

We stayed on the Live Oak side on site 111. Our site was kind of open but still great (since we were there for a meet up/group) but other sites are very deep and private. Bath house was clean although half the showers on the women’s side were closed so there was a line. Short drive to the beach or to Botany Bay.

Nice park close to Elberton

We stayed on two sites (8 and 11) as a group for a weekend. There isn’t water access from the site but you can see the water from some sites. Sites were on the smaller side and not particularly level front to back. Bath house was clean but a decent uphill walk away from most sites as there is only one. Plenty of boat ramps, beach, golf course.

Easy quick stop

Restrooms were nice and clean, owner was very sweet, sites good size and those on Loop B were back in and shaded/private.

Well kept beautiful campground

We stopped here for one night on the way home from DC. The owners are super nice and helped back us into the site. They have food available for purchase and a large camp store. Bathrooms were individual rooms with toilet/sink/shower and were spotless with endless hot water.
