    Site #34 with a 45 foot RV -full hookup

    What a SPECTACULAR campground right on the river. The view is absolutely stunning. The new owners are so sweet and helpful. We have a 45 foot big rig and had tons of space even with 6 people. You can hear the river at night too. It truly is an amazing place to camp! We were in site 34 on the river with only woods beside us and the river out our front door. Plenty of trees and shade on most of the sites. There are about 10 sites right on the river with additional pull thru sites as well. Wonderful place to camp, very family friendly!

    River park campground is a great place to stay. It's very clean. The bath houses are always clean. The owners are wonderful people.

    I stayed here three nights and didn't want to leave! As I walked to the camp store to check in, I…read morecould feel myself relaxing. I was greeted by a couple sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. I think the winding road up the mountain and the driveway helped me realize how secluded this place is. There are only nine sites that are spaced far enough apart that you think you're the only person here! Each site is different than the others. The fire pits are amazing. You have to check them out for yourself! There are creeks everywhere. You can hear the water from every site (that's if you're not in a site next to one. Then you can see them also). There was thought put in to making each site spectacular. There are picnic tables, pads for tents, trees and posts for hammocks and awesome fire pits. There are hiking trails that lead up the mountain and into the Cherokee National Forest and around the property. You need to walk them to experience the beauty and the spectacular views! The bath house is like a large bathroom that feels like home! They even have blow dryers here to use! There are two sinks for dishes along with scrubbies and dish soap! The bath house or the camp store both have electrical outlets if you need to recharge batteries for your lights. Don't charge your phone! There's no need for that as a distraction! I will be back!

    I've been to TONS of campgrounds. Most of them I thoroughly enjoyed. The only times I have not, had…read moremore to do with the other campers more so than the actually campground. But THIS one, this one is different from most. There are only a handful of campsites, but the experience is what I imagine would be how campgrounds "should" be before commercial ones started popping up, and laying campsites on top on one another to maximize profit. Yes the commercial ones also brought along nice amenities such as clean bathhouses and electrical connections to keep up with what folks in general expect these days... and that's when locally owned campgrounds had to follow suit or risk going out of business. Here... it goes back to how it was. No electrical connections. Privacy. Views. Isolation. A connection with true nature without having to hike miles and miles with 40+ lbs of gear. The camp store is based on a honor system, you get what you need 24/7. If nobody is there just jot down what you grabbed and it will be billed to you. It is packed with lots of custom made locally goodies, along with standard necessities (first aid, bug repellent, hygiene stuff, snacks, etc) and are priced too low!!! The bathhouse. The bathhouse. Oh man, talk about putting thought into it. Feels just like my own mountain getaway... in my imagination of course because I don't really have a mountain getaway. Well I do now, except I don't really own it. That doesn't stop me from wishing I had own it though. Anyway, this review is already way too long. I guess that's what a great camping trip can do to you. It brings out the peacefulness in you, and make you so content that you want to write a novel about it. I'm not recommending this place to all. I'm just recommending it to those that truly enjoy camping... and nature with only the things we need and absolutely nothing that we don't. Peace!

This is not a large State Park but it has a lot to offer. The historical site is a short walk from the campground and contains a plethora of information. The rangers are very friendly and gladly answer any questions as well as giving nature hikes and historical tours. The sites slope downhill toward the river but get leveler the closer you are to be the river. Large Motorhomes will want to avoid the first row (closest to the road) and possibly the second row. You will definitely need a few more leveling blocks on these rows. The last two rows are not too bad with few to no leveling blocks needed. We found Verizon and AT&T Cell and Data Services to work well. The park offers free WiFi that is readily usable most of the day. Note: If you have a long trailer or Motorhome, say 30' or more. There are several routes to get here coming off of 11E. Make sure and call the campground for directions. You want to follow the route from the Limestone area that takes you under the railroad tracks. Otherwise, you will be on some uncomfortable narrow curvy roads.

Easy keepers prone to laminitis are carefully limited on their pasture time and kept in either dry lot paddocks or stalls to prevent founder. The barn has good ventilation, is cleaned daily, and is comfortable in both the summer and winter. Horses receive quality hay baled on site. Clean water is available 24/7. A large arena with good sand footing is a joy to ride in. Trail obstacles are also available to play on with the horses. I have peace of mind knowing that Teresa cares for my horse as her own. The many senior horses (20s and 30s) in excellent condition are proof of Teresa's exceptional care.

Had to wait 10 minutes before some showed up to check us in. Took us to our pull through site, which is all grass, and very uneven. Utilities are at very beginning of site and had just enough cord and hose to reach camper. And btw, the septic connection was 10" above ground do hose runs uphill from camper. There are 12 pull through and all of them are permanents except us. . We were right in middle with them coming and going at all hours. Guy next to me let his dog poop right next to my camper and left it.... 2 days in a row. There is a nice good size pond, but no fishing. There is a nice creek that runs edge of property, but can't get to it because of electrified fence. The biggest part of the property is a horse farm with a arena and open fields. Bathhouses are decent and heated .
