After living a number of years in Tennessee up the road from Chester Frost Park, when I decided to…read morereturn to the area as a visitor, I needed a place to camp and I knew this park would fit the bill. I have visited the park numerous times over the years while I lived here, but had never camped or stayed in the camping area. The park is well-maintained, at least the campsites are. They have easy access and are nice and level with good fire pits in picnic tables for each one. Being from the area, it was not a surprise to me to have the Lake level low when I was here in March because I know that TVA lowers the lake every winter for flood control And raises it back up in April so the water level didn't bother me. The check-in experience online was simple and straightforward. The staff at the range station are outstanding, very personable and friendly. I stayed for a week and enjoyed myself. The only downside was the showers and the bath houses. They are a little rundown and need to be upgraded. Other than that. It's a nice campground clean and well kept. People were friendly and it's a beautiful area to hang out and just enjoy the outdoors.

What a grand campground!! It was a gift from TVA in 1958 to the county for public use…read more Not only was there a campground, there was a day use beach & playground! We just spent 3 nights with two other families there. One family has two littles, one couple had their young grandson, and we are part time empty nesters. There is something for everyone!!! Lots of water for our kayaks, other's jet skis and of course several boat docks! The RV sites are good size, with water & electric. Tent camping sites looked pretty good as well. It is a truly hidden jewel so close to Chattanooga & Dayton TN. Been living in East TN for 21 years and never knew about this wonderful spot. We will be back!

The owner calling me a liar and my post false is unbelievable. What I wrote is true. 1000% because…read moreI saw it myself. It was the restroom by the beach. Multiple people observed it, and talked about it amongst ourselves. I gave the review a 3 star (and nothing lower) because we love this place, and didn't want it to get a low rating on only one issue, but to be called a liar, by the owner, is unacceptable. What I and others saw, on that week, is factual, and stayed for a few days. And to have it dismissed and have my integrity called into question, by the owner, is unbelievably unprofessional. This was not a "revenge post" as you seem to be alluding to, this happened. I will not and am not putting down a great place, just because and I won't stoop to that level now, even though you called me a liar. I simply posted about an issue, that happened. We have been back since, and it hasn't been an issue, BUT to pretend what we experienced that trip, didn't happen, is unacceptable.

From day use to camping to fishing, this is a great state park. We stopped to take a nice walk with…read morethe dogs. I noticed the camping, fishing, lots of places to hike and lots of entry to the water. Definitely a great day trip

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.

Secluded and quiet! Some spots have a great view of the lake! One of the best we have stayed at!!read more

I just did an overnight stay at the White Wagon and was very pleased with my accommodations and…read moreservice. Despite my being the only room reserved, the heat was on- which is different from what the previous reviewer states from last October. Starling did meet me there to let me in and welcomed me. I was provided a yummy breakfast and encouraged to have my time there as needed. Each room is decorated with a theme, and the shared quarters of kitchen and living room are very nice- games, snacks, etc are all there. I plan on returning soon! Hopefully several times!

We recently traveled to TN for my daughter's wedding and White Wagon Bed and Breakfast is just down…read morethe road from that location. I went online and the rooms looked adequate and best of all - it was a short drive to the wedding site. The wedding was on Sat so we booked a room for Fri and Sat nights at $110 a night ($220 total). We knew that the temps in the TN mountains had turned very cold (late Sept) so we weren't surprised to find a temperature of 51and dropping rapidly at 9:30 PM upon our arrival. No one lives on the premises so we had to wait until someone came to let us in. We noticed immediately that it was very cold inside the house but another 5 min to get Starling to acknowledge that they 'would not' turn the heat on for only one room. They apparently also do not have central air as we only saw a window a/c unit. All the comforts of home - not! We are still dealing with a credit card dispute as they refuse to refund our $220 even though we left there 5 min after arriving and drove to Dayton TN where we stayed at a Best Western for the same price - and we had heat (a reverse cycle so a/c when needed in the summer). The owners of White Wagon focus more on money than customer relations.

What an amazing place to experience soaring. My son has…read morejust started his glider lessons at age 14, which is old enough to solo a glider. I have also taken our Boy Scout Troop from Atlanta twice to have experience soaring with the awesome team of Sarah and Jason. As a professional pilot for over 30 years I can definitely vouch for their commitment to safety and professionalism in all they do. Take a trip up here and give it a try they give rides if you just want to enjoy the view of the Smoky Mountains.

It is worth every penny, and is tons of fun. Then you have some delightful Tennessee country to view, and a great farmer's market (no, really: farmers) right next door. I'm not entirely certain why it lists Chilhowee as being in Georgia.

I honestly had no idea where I was going on my trip back home, but I had to make a stop because…read morethey drink I had made it through me and I was not going to make it anywhere further along the highway. It was a welcomed sight to see that a rest area was coming up. Pulling into here I could tell you that this was not going to be a normal rest stop. And I was not let down in that aspect. What I noticed most was that it was on a hill. However, it was somewhat flat once you got out of the parking lot. It is quite the busy rest stop and surprisingly clean on the inside. Especially the facility portion of the interior. This particular location has a outdoor pavilion of sorts that has multiple vending machines if you need a last minute drink or snack. Easy on and off of the Interstate.

Dirt daubers are a big problem here. They make their nests inside the roofs above the boats which creates a big mess on the boats.
