Geographically this place is placed smack dab in the middle of old run down trailer homes as far as the eye can see. I was looking to camp in one of there dry camp sites for the weekend. As I approached the front desk, Karen I think that was her name, acted like she was full and this was like getting a room at a 5 star luxury hotel. LOL This wasn't the place, run down. As I smelled alcohol and cigarettes on here breathe from across the counter. This place is in need of an update and wasn't a safe place to be. I'd try somewhere else this isn't the place you are looking for. You also can't dry camp for more than one night here. Which isn't on their website anywhere. I would stay here if my life depended on it. A few of their regular RV folks walked in with 2 teeth and smelled like they hadn't taken a shower in a month. I guess the showers aren't working here as well. To top it off Karen approached my car and made a snide remark as I made this review. Just find another place to camp. This isn't the place you are looking for.

We have rented a site here for 3 1/2 years, largely peacefully and pleasantly. But, in the last…read moreyear, the management has drastically changed. I can recommend that someone might park overnight, but you have to watch out for the potholes and gullies in the poorly leveled gravel roads. Currently, there are such insane restrictions and rude, unethical and unprofessional management that it is simply not a pleasant place to stay.

We have been coming to Loyston Point for years. I don't really want to tell everyone because you…read moremay try to take our favorite camping spot! The lake front spots are our favorite and we love that the kids can carry their kayaks into the water on their own. You can rent boats from a local dock 10ish minutes away driving if you don't have one, or you can put your boat in not far and keep it near your site in the water. The bathrooms are relatively clean and hook ups and water are fine. The only complaint we have is that there are tons of ants everywhere. If you drop food, they will find it. Last year they tried to climb up our jacks and get into our camper so we always try to remember to bring any spray. There is a ton of goose poop around the sites by the water but we just use bags we use for the dog's poop and throw it away so we don't step on it.

A steep slope to get in/out and not level. There were a few campsites that looked like people stay there all season (little dog fences, lights, signs in yard, etc.) Overall though the campground is so pretty! A lot of trails to walk. During season you can rent canoes and kayaks. Bev at the front office was super nice and helpful. Called and let us know we could check in early. Would recommend to others but would I would definitely pick a different campsite next time (52) just because of the slope to get in/out and not being level (but the view from this site is beautiful!!)

It was very pet friendly, the dog came with me, and near enough to Knoxville and other sites to not feel too out of touch, but still private and woodsy with a view!

I would have left earlier if we could get into our next campground earlier. We have been RVing full time for 3 years now, so we have been around. We are a family with 5 respectful kids 13 to 2. We felt SO disrespected here and like we were constantly looking over our shoulders. The manager makes through our tiny pull through touching our stuff multiple times. My 5yo knows to stay out of others sites! My husband and I are pretty chill, but this was ridiculous and way over the top! She and a friend walked into our site and were peeking in and touching our Clam and when my husband went out they tried to pass it off as being interested in getting one. Another time, she walked through our little site, commented to herself on our 2yo crying, and messed with our hammock. The third time we had a window open by our door and she came over, stuck her head in, and started looking around and talking to my husband. Then said she had complaints of our campsite being to messy. We had our Clam with 3 chairs in it, a wagon, 4 bikes, hammock, and 3 things sitting on our table. My husband said, "Really??" and she quickly walked away. Because of our interactions with her and her comments of others complaining about our supposed mess,we did not feel welcome. I gave 2 stars because we did feel safe here. It wasn't totally ghetto. There are 0 kid amenities. No pool, playground, etc. There is a coin op laundry and a small fenced dog area. All of the roads and sites are covered in rocks (not gravel) which make it super hard to pull a wagon, ride a trike, etc. Of you stop over, stay in your camper and don't even set a flower pot outside. We won't be visiting again under this management.

There's also a small separate lake for non-motorized craft. You can rent kayaks or bring your own for a small fee. Note that the segregated lake does not permit inflatable craft.

The swimming area is nice and has a paved bottom that slopes in towards a platform for jumping off etc. the bottom of the swim area can be slippery. There are also cabins for rent that look nice though we didn't stay in one. It's about 45 minutes from Knoxville. It's worth a visit.
