Edgar Evins State Park Campground

We went for camping during the weekend at Edgar Evins State Park and the experience was really nice, the camping slots are designed "deck" looking, well separated from one another and with enough space to accommodate all your gear. The views at the park are amazing and you have several trails to hike, so overall amazing experience and the views at night are amazingly beautiful

First time visiting and staying at the state park. Clean bathrooms, clearly marked signs throughout the park, and solid platforms for your tent or camper. We enjoyed staying here and will again. Boat ramps and marina available too. Make sure to check the website photos of the campsite you pick so you know if it has a dip or a ramp for that platform as it may matter for your rig or setup. Only a few were steep either way. I liked the platform setup more than I thought I would. Better than the standard TN state park gravel pad. Except for the back country sites each has power and water hook up. The park also sells wood and ice at a central spot with dumpsters as well. They also have a gift shop with a small tower to climb for a view of the dam. At least two playgrounds for kids too. Many walking trails to explore and a small cemetery you can walk to. Go visit. It’s worth it.

Amazing sites and views. Bathrooms are few and far from many sites. Parking on a deck is amazing and just adds to the view. Cell phone coverage is bad which is why I gave 4/5 for this place. If you can stay here and swim in the rustic side of the lake I would. On the other side of the lake is Floating Mills campground with high density sites and a beach.

Park is nice. Campground is on mountainside, so only level ground is wood platform. Not much room around fire pit without falling down the hill. No places for hammocks. Trail to bathhouse is long, poorly marked, and covered in poison ivy. No trash cans anywhere - including bathhouse. Campers partied until after midnight on Friday and no rangers stopped the noise. Until about 1230 in morning.

This campground is off I 40, about 60 miles east of Nashville TN. We arrived on a warm late afternoon in March. Hiking trails, a marina, primitive walk in campsites, and a camp store are some of the offerings . Ice and firewood are available. We only spent one night but had time for a walk among the boulders on the shoreline. Really interesting rock formations everywhere, I’m guessing Tennessee fieldstone. The ranger said spring ephemeral wildflowers were in bloom, although we didn’t have time for a woodland hike to see them. Even on a weekday in mid March many campsites were taken so definitely plan ahead with reservations for this state park.
