We actually spotted this location when we were beginning our journey and I took a screenshot of our…read morelocation and when we were driving back through I recognized it and so we stopped. I'm really glad that we took the time to spend a few hours and even spend the night here. This is a really beautiful lake to be able to have a very calm and relaxing time. There are a lot of folks doing night fishing but they do a pretty good job of not shining their lights into the camping area where the tent campers are at. We camped with our tent about 15 ft from the river and it was lovely. The day we arrived was a little bit tricky because we stopped and inquired about camping and we were told if there was not a tent, then the spot was available and to pitch our tent come back and tell him the site #, pay the fee. We did that. But when we got back he said "oh except for that spot". So then we had to move our tent over one spot, however nobody showed up in the spot that we were at that night or the next day so not sure what happened there. But when it was all said and done we had a nice little corner all to ourselves. This is definitely a place that is very convenient to get to off of interstate 24 and if you are on a road trip I would definitely recommend stopping and paying $15 to park there for the night. They also have on the other side of the island an area for RV parking. $30 rate per night, however you can rent an RV spot for a month for $500 and it includes water electric and there is a dump station. Oh! And there is a bathhouse. There is 2 men's rooms with toilet sink and shower, and there is 2 women's rooms with toilet sink and shower. The use of these facilities is included in the camping rate. If you were just here for a day trip there is a really nice boat ramp as well as on the other side there is a park area that is available for use during the day and there are picnic tables and a swimming area that looks really nice. We launched our kayak off of our campsite and went around the lake over to the Tennessee River. When you get to the Tennessee River if you take a left (SW), there is a beautiful cliff face that has birds singing very loudly and it's just stunning. If instead, you go to the right, there is another large area with a big lake and if you look forward and a little to your left (SE) you might see a train going by in the distance.

This is a nice park although a bit odd. I have never seen long term residents at a county or state…read morepark however a lot of the people here seem to be long term residents. The park itself is very nice with a huge lake. Do note we decided to get a spot directly on the lake side since there was a ton of open spots. However I would recommend staying away from the spots at the edge of the lake. There are a lot of geese here and apparently they take quite large and nasty poops... the edge of the lake is covered in geese poop... you learn something new everyday. Other than that it's lovely. Only water and electric although there is a dump station.

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.

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.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO VISIT MILLER FALLS in gorgeous Smokey Mountains!…read more Beautiful woods, creeks, rock climbing, camping, and brilliant weather. Campgrounds are clean, lots of amenities, and campground owners are super kind people! We stayed for 4 nights, and our campsite was $48/night before tax. We initially booked through HipCamp, but I'll definitely be booking with the owner directly (www.TNwaterfallgetaway.com) for all future visits to their campground! My fiance and I booked the TrampEase Tree Tent - one of seven beautiful, hand-built campsites that range from primitive to full-on glamping. Our campsite was a mix of both. It included an elevated yurt tent, fire pit, round table, 2 folding camping chairs, and a private composting toilet in a nearby outhouse. Not to mention a flowing creek less than 50 feet from the yurt! The tranquil sound of the creek flowing 24/7 was even better than sleep-sounds on my Google Home. LOL! Most of the campsites have drive-up access, though if you have a car that's particularly low to the ground (like a small sedan) you may not want to risk driving over the rocky road. We brought with us a 1" inflatable mattress pad, along with a sleeping bag, and 2 thick, warm blankets. Despite being mid-May, the average temps during our visit were 60-70 F during the day, and a chilly 40-45 F at night. Brilliant weather for snuggling, but we would have regretted not bringing a few extra blankets. Lots of hiking and trails to explore on their property, and at least a mile of rugged creek terrain that makes for a fun, albeit challenging day of rock climbing. Well worth it for the stunning views of the waterfalls, canyons, and mountainsides. There are also trails and lakes nearby for hiking, kayaking, and a number of other outdoor attractions in Tracy City. The owners, Grant & Becky, were such friendly people. My fiance and I had a lovely chat with them about philanthropy, community outreach, homestead farming, and more. They are warm, kind, and welcoming to people of all ages, races, religions, genders, identities, abilities, backgrounds, perspectives, and ideologies. They have done a lot of traveling and business throughout their lives, and now they are semi-retired in the rolling hills of Tennessee. Speaking of ability - the majority of the glamping sites have tents that are elevated from the ground; some, like the one we stayed in, required climbing a 10 foot ladder to enter/exit the tent. There are some other sites though that are more accessible with tents low to the ground, or primitive sites where you can pitch your own tent. Contact the owner (www.tnwaterfallgetaway.com/contact) to ask about the best accommodation options for you. They offer great amenities and fun activities around the property during your stay. The owners are big on being self-sufficient, so they love to offer fun learning experiences regarding farming, gardening, and homesteading. They also enjoy metal work and have some cool art pieces around their property. We even did a welding project (for a small fee) and made an original piece of art as a keepsake from our trip! You can also get some convenience items from the owners for a fee: firewood bundles, champagne & ice, property tours, guided tours of their city, and more. HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP: Grant was also kind enough to swing by our campsite one morning to ask if we had any interest in bees! He has a few hives and some extra gear, so we got an up-close look into the hives! It was absolutely mesmerizing! And if all that weren't enough, their website www.TNwaterfallgetaway.com is chock-full of great tips for local hiking, waterfall views, kayaking, dining, and more! We had such a lovely time enjoying the outdoors, and look forward to going back for another visit!

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!

It's around a 3 mile paddle total at a leisurely pace. The bats. Basically, at bat time, you'll float around near the bat cave until the bats start to sweep out. It's a spectacle. Lots of bats, most of them flying close to the water. Nice. Do it. It's worth it.
