I needed a place to stay near The Lost Sea so I decided to stay here ( 40 minutes away). I was blown away by how amazing this campground was. BEAUTIFUL scenery and very active. Even on a Monday it was probably at least 60% full. The ranger said they plan on charging soon. So be prepared for that, he didn’t know when just said “ Soon”. ... more
I needed a place to stay near The Lost Sea so I decided to stay here ( 40 minutes away). I was blown away by how amazing this campground was. BEAUTIFUL scenery and very active. Even on a Monday it was probably at least 60% full. The ranger said they plan on charging soon. So be prepared for that, he didn’t know when just said “ Soon”. It was a bit noisy, definitely a spot where the locals go to get away and enjoy the water. Water was warm, great swim! Restrooms were available and a fire pit at each site.

Was a wonder full place with a table, trash can, and fire place. Nature was buzzing last night but other than that there was no noise. Loved and would highly recommend people stay here.

Drove all the way there and even though the site says open year round, depending on weather. Well it’s closed for the winter until spring time. Looks nice though and just take it easy on the road there since it’s not really big

Absolutely wonderful. Campground is well maintained with plenty of campsites. Under new management and they are not putting up with all the bull that they have in the past. Pertaining to people being trashy or homeless people staying here for long periods and I for one am happy about that. Bathhouse and bathrooms with hot and cold showers. No dump station or water source to fill your RV water tanks yet but heard they were in the plans. Picnic tables at every site. Sites are not level but manageable. Heard they were going to start charging a minimal fee and I am glad maybe it will keep out the bad apples who were keeping the place a mess. They also have concrete boat launch. Thank you Rhea county for trying to make the place better.

Arrived Friday evening Oct. 26, 2018. Found overnight camping area closed. Parked overnight in day use boat launching area. 1 star rating for lack of updated information. From here the camping area looks great. -gnb

This is the best free campground I have ever seen. Multiple campsites on the water. Great swimming. Great camping destination. Only drawback to me is that there isn't electricity. I have a generator, so that fixed that! Check out my associated blog post that is listed here for my youtube channel "The Gimpy Camper"
