I really liked the pond setup and other aspects of this state park. There was a huge pool that apparently they are no longer going to keep operational and that is disappointing. I think they could do better with signage and what this park offers and could possibly keep all the items going for the public

There are hiking trails and a stocked fishing pond we were welcome to fish -- all that along with peace and quiet - it was a slice of heaven. Located on top of Sand Mountain with abundant wildlife respected at every turn. The owners have gotten this property designated as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. They did indeed stress there were certain rules for guests due to that, but I thought it was great! A little patio out front was ideal to watch the ducks in the lake while we had our morning coffee. We look forward to going back.

I was in the Harrison area for a long weekend with my husband, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law…read more We picked Harrison Bay State Park for our morning hike on Sunday morning. We love a good hike, so we picked the park's longest hike - the Bay Point Loop trail (a 4.5-mile loop). The park's website calls the trail "moderate" but we definitely felt it was easy. Very flat and not very strenuous - more of a walk than a hike! But the entire trail loops around a winding peninsula on Harrison Bay - so you have water views throughout the hike (which was lovely)! Even on a Sunday during our COVID summer, the trail wasn't crowded. We only saw a few other hikers or runners. The trail is a little hard to find - the park's signage isn't great - but if you find the parking lot behind the marina, the trail is sort of hiding at the back of the parking lot. For a fairly easy hike, this trail has some gorgeous water views. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

Came here with Troop 513 and our Boy Scouts and adults really enjoyed a truly wonderful and satisfying experience. The cave exploration is definitely an adventure and challenging and pushes you to the limit while being guided by experienced guides. Our cave guides were Tristan and Emily and both were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the cave and their experience definitely made what would have otherwise been a very frustrating and difficult task a fun and truly memorable experience. Tip: you can bring your phone if you aren't afraid to possibly damage or lose it as you will be crawling and squeezing through many parts of the adventure. 5 stars for the cave adventure and 5 stars for the campgrounds. Thank you for all you do for the scouts and making this great experience available to the public!

I really wanted to love Raccoon Mountain Campground because it had been on my list for years. In…read morefact, I had almost booked a trip here with my son about 10 years ago. After finally getting the chance to stay here during our road trip, I'd say it was an okay experience, but not somewhere I'd personally be eager to return for tent camping. The biggest advantage is definitely the location. It's only about 15 minutes from downtown Chattanooga, making it a convenient base if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city. The campground also has a pool and offers access to the nearby caverns (for an additional fee), which is a nice option if that's something you're interested in. We stayed only one night, and unfortunately, our campsite wasn't my favorite. We were placed off by ourselves in a corner near the campground entrance road. While traffic wasn't constant overnight, our tent was still very close to the road. The site was elevated, uneven, and rocky, making it difficult to move around safely--especially in the dark. Even while fully awake, I tripped several times stepping off the ledge to get to the car or campfire. It also felt tighter than many of the other available tent sites we passed. The bathhouse was definitely a highlight. It was clean, air-conditioned, and had plenty of bathrooms and hot showers. The unexpected star of our stay was the campground cat! We affectionately nicknamed her "Lolita," and she kept us company throughout the evening. Feeding her a little bacon the next morning was honestly one of my favorite memories from this stop. If we ever came back, it might be just to see if Lolita is still greeting campers. One thing to note is that the creek shown on the property was dry during our visit, so there wasn't any flowing water or creekside atmosphere. The staff was polite, but our interactions felt fairly brief and impersonal. They do escort you to your campsite, which was appreciated. Overall, Raccoon Mountain Campground wasn't a bad experience--it just wasn't the right fit for us as tent campers. RV campers may enjoy it more, especially if they're looking for easy access to Chattanooga. For our style of camping, though, the campsite itself didn't offer enough comfort or scenery to make us want to return. If you're looking for a convenient overnight stop near the city, it does the job, but for us, one night was enough.
