We camped here this weekend. We came in on Thursday and it was great. Alot of shade and we parked along the creek. It was great. But on Friday, everyone else came in and it was over crowded. Tents were parked in the campers spots instead of using the tent area. It was overbooked. People were everywhere. It was noisey, even past 11 p.m. on both friday and saturday nights. By late morning on sunday, everyone was leaving out. It was great again. I am not sure if I will go back there in the summer time. It is close to home, but if it is this way every weekend, it is not camping. It is a party. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Of the state parks that we have stayed at this one was the most well maintained as far as the campsites were concerned. Although some sites were closer together, all were very level and clean. This campground had more of a park feel than others which have more of a primitive camping feel. There were plenty of activities throughout the day and the park ranger was regularly on hand for assistance and education while they showed you some of the wildlife they have.

sites were level the park was clean sights were large staff was friendly We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Camping sites are very close to each other. There was about 10 ft. between me and the folks next door. My greatest gripe is the Tennessee State Parks web site. It doesn't have maps showing how to get to the various parks. You can download a pdf brochure but it only contains a very small crude map. When I tried to call the park at around 5:00 PM, I got an answering machine that said they closed at 4:00. So, I couldn't even ask them how to get to the park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are tight packed (for a state park), but room is adequate at each site. Bathrooms and showers VERY clean. Well planned facility even had dishwashing facilities for tenters like us. Park has many wooded areas, but is mainly a resort park with sports, conference centers, family reunion pavillion, etc. Slight highway noise in background from US 70. Coyote howling, hooting owls, mooing cows makes it sound more wild or rural than it is. We camped here in a Tent.
