The camp area has its own little playground area and I believe showers are available. 3 shelters with picnic tables are available for rent. They have put in a disc golf course which isn't for me, but apparently it's a popular sport. There is one basketball court. Cons: crazy amount of geese pooping everywhere on the walking trails. The pool closed years ago and it would be a better camping area for families if there was a splash pad.

It encompasses 31,000 acres of land, and 200 miles of hiking at this time. But there are currently another 300 miles of hiking trails planned and in progress. Because of this, there are a lot of places you can fish, hunt, rock climb, or do back country camping. It's named after Justin P. Wilson, who was the deputy governor for a while. We hiked about two mile around the Tennessee Gorge area in Chattanooga that had some stunning overlooks.

The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful. Whether you're there for the day renting a boat/jet ski or staying the weekend in one of their chalets or FLOATING HOUSES, they will make sure you find exactly what you're looking for. Prices are moderate and the marina has a little store for any of your last minute lake necessities, including ice cold beer. If you find yourself hungry, there is also a restaurant onsite. Next time you're thinking of renting a cabin for a big group of people, check out Flat Hollow's house boats that house like 12 people. You can camp out on the lake for the weekend. They have full kitchens, bathrooms, a rooftop hot tub, and a slide. Speaking from experience, it doesn't get much better than this.

DO NOT RENT A BOAT FROM THIS MARINA!!! They are very rude to their customers and do not care about…read morekeeping customers. We rented a pontoon boat 7/20/26 and paid for them to deliver the boat to our lake house that we rented. I was told by Kennedy that the boat would be dropped off 9am-8pm.( time is in the signed contract) We tried to contact the marina multiple times because the boat wasn't dropped off. No answer. There were 12 of us waiting for the boat to arrive at our dock 8 adults, 4 kids(1yr, 3yr, 6yr, 8yr) At 10 am still no boat so a few of us drove down to the marina(wasting boat time and gas $$) to see what the issue was. The very rude manager(Autumn) stated she did not know until that morning that she had to deliver a pontoon to us. (THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM) I booked this rental AND PAID FOR IT ALONG WITH THE DELIVERY CHARGE 7/6/26($538.06 FOR 1 DAY) and had a reservation number. Autumn also claimed she answered our phone calls but couldn't hear us. I could not believe she is arguing with a customer. The boat finally arrived at 10:45am and was told they were late because they had to use our rental pontoon and gas to pick up another boat which was past our lake rental house. The boat had a 1/2 tank of gas which I have a picture of. I was also told the gas gauge was not accurate. Really?????Autumn told me the gauge was full when they left the marina.(Maybe it was but they used the gas to pick up another boat which was past our house.) Autumn didn't seem to understand this or even care. I was billed $48 for gas when they picked up the boat. We put $80(have the receipt) in gas in the boat but since the gas gauge wasn't working they could rip me off. Please everyone out there reading this RENT FROM ANOTHER MARINA!!! THIS BUSINESS ONLY CARES ABOUT MAKING MONEY OFF PEOPLE!!! It seems this same situation happened 6/29/24 which I just read in a review. You would think this operation would have learned from this 2 years ago but they really do not want to keep their customers happy. Terrible business!!!!Very unorganized if they didn't know they had to deliver a boat until the morning when the rude manager came in.

Late arrivals are allowed which is hard to find sometimes. Camping area is not well marked, some people got lost and I helped them find the right area while I was camping here. You'll get to the big parking lot and then see some large brown trash dumpsters on the left, that's where the turn for camping is. That's also the only area I found to throw your camping trash. Bathrooms are very run down, but clean. Showers are cold even after waiting a few minutes hoping it would warm up. Lots of cigarette trash on the ground, especially around the bathrooms. Dogs are allowed, on leashes.
