Rock Island State Park has a strange layout but is jam-packed with interesting sites. If you stop…read morein the Visitor Center, they have maps and written directions on how to hit the highlights easily. You can view different falls, cascades, flow stones, and more from short distance strolls to overlooks, or delve deeper into the gorge for a closer view. Swimming is not permitted except in certain areas, so take notice, people have drowned here. Be careful when hiking and exploring the floor of the gorge as the dam can release water with limited warning. That being said, the Twin Falls and Great Falls are lovely, and the diverse landscape keeps the walk extremely interesting! Me and the dog did the Upstream and Downstream trails on the Twin Falls side, and the Gorge Trail on the Great Falls side, and while Dianne, they are steep and slippery, so wear proper shoes!

This is the best lake in TN hands down! One of the cleanest in the United States and very deep…read more It's not filled with debris like some others in the middle Tennessee area and it has quite a few wonderful campgrounds/RV parks, for those who would like to travel here. The "city" of Smithville isn't exactly a booming place to be... Mostly closed or old buildings - very small, and unless you're camping, I wouldn't stay in the immediate area. But once you get to the lake, it's amazing! The campgrounds are well kept and fairly large. The lake itself winds around, snake-like, with cove after cove to play in or soak up the sun in. You want privacy? You got it! You want wakes? You have that too! The fishing must be outstanding considering the many tournaments they have there. My husband and I live closer to two other lakes, but we drive just over an hour to come to this one. We can't say enough great things about it!

I don't know if this campground is under new ownership since these 8-9 year ago reviews or not. I…read moredo know the "southern hospitality " and "enjoying people" is FAR from true now. I have never been to such an unprofessional place in my life and HIGHLY recommend you PASS IT UP! They will verbally attack you and threaten violence. We ranged in age of 2-70. How we deserved such treatment after making arrangements, is beyond me. No one was drunk except the said owner's boyfriend and "crew." Beware of this place folks. Sorry Yelp... I can't be funny with this review.

Be advised, you will see some confederate flags on bumpers and such. Internet is non existent, or very very weak.....won't even pull emails.

So, no, never again. Besides,the oaks don't "whisper" they pelt your rig with acorns, loud obnoxious acorns, 24/7. Every site has multiple oak trees.
