A very nice campground! It is clean, well maintained and patrolled by the Park Rangers at least on the weekends. I recently stayed there for 2 nights at campsite #4. It is the closest site to the river, which is just a super short walk away. The area of the park is flat and easy to walk on. The ‘beach area’ is nice and the water is easy to access for the kids. However, if you plan to go fishing in other areas around the campground, you’ll need to be ready to walk on some rocks in the water. You CAN fish from the bank in the ‘beach area’, but to get to the other places, you may have to put in some work. The underwater rocks are a bit hard to walk on, so make sure you have good water shoes; flip flops will not work well. There are also trails you can walk and the whole place is very peaceful. Weekends are louder with more people visiting. It does appear that the locals drive around and make some noise with their supped-up trucks and side-by-sides, but it’s not horrible, just an occasional engine roaring. Great place to camp!
There is a trail that starts past the first campsite going towards the other campsites. This trail is part of the Cumberland trail network and has several branches. The trails are well maintained by the US Parks Service. This trail provides a strenuous hiking experience to the Ober River and beyond.
It was perfect everything that camping is supposed to be. Neighbors at not too close and do not intrude. The campsite was flat and did not hold water. The fact I went into the woods repeatedly and down to the river but had no ticks was very nice. The only “downfall” is if you don’t bring your own firewood you have to go cut your own but I like that so for an older person it may be an issue. First time in over 30 years I saw a golden eagle. The sound of the river was strong and I was asleep in minutes.
Did not Camp there, met there for a Ranger LED hike. But I would Camp there I think eventually, my only complaint is the campsites are a bit stacked on top of each other.
My go to spot if I need a night with a campfire. This place is close to town but feels secluded. Very well maintained area with limited sites.
