Not sure why there's not more than one review on this place? People visiting Bristol need to know…read morethat there is a cool place to help the littles blow off some steam. Three differently sized playscapes to meet the needs of different aged children. Multiple benches to sit on. Close to a walking/running trail and plenty of space to run around. Turf is old school tan bark, wear closed toe shoes. Also, only one tree providing shade 9:30-10:30am. 75% of play area is in full sun. Bummer. Bring a hat and sunscreen. Ran the sidewalk trail they have and it was actually a good distance, most of it in the sun, but the weather was cool enough to handle it full sun. I'm always a little sketched and on high alert when visiting new parks from out of town so I ran with my phone in my hand. The lower part of the trail is fully visible to others so it's probably not necessary to have to carry a phone. I didn't feel worried once I was out there. Pretty park to run in.

Easy to get to playground when you're on the road traveling - close to hotels & fast food…read more We stopped here before getting back on the road after a 1 night stay near by. It served its purpose - getting energy out before the next leg of the drive. There's a small area for younger toddlers and bigger playgrounds for older kids. My 2 year loved the taller playgrounds. Many features to run around and play on. There is some wear and tear to the playground. It's muddy when wet out but overall a good park. There is also a free little library - there wasn't much in it while we were there. Easy parking

I stayed at Farmer Bob's Campground for three nights over the Battle at Bristol weekend with five…read moreother friends. We stayed in tents at a regular site (no electric or water hookups). The campground staff was very helpful leading up to our stay whenever I would email them with questions or concerns. We planned to arrive late at night/early in the morning so we weren't sure if we could check in, but thankfully the check-in area was open 24/7 allowing us to set up when most would be asleep. Near our campsite, the campground set up a little shop area with multiple coolers of ice for sale, which came in very handy with our food and beverage consumption. Also at the shop, they had hats, t-shirts, koozies, and shot glasses with Farmer Bob's logos on them, along with bug spray, ponchos, and other camping supplies. The workers there were very helpful and even recommended that we take a short drive to the nearby lake if we weren't busy to experience the beauty of the land. The proximity of the campground to the speedway way wasn't too far, but it was a decent walk. Farmer Bob's provided shuttle buses to the speedway anyways, which we took advantage of. After the game, on the way back we walked back and surprisingly got back to our site pretty easily thanks to paths on the campground from the road. Camping at Farmer Bob's was a great experience and the next time I plan to camp in Bristol that will be the first place I go to.

The camp grounds were really nice we had fun the fact that a rained all weekend really sucked but…read morethat's not their fault. It's super close to the track and is way cheaper than a hotel and much more fun. I will camp here every time we go the showers could be a little better but at least you can shower.

We have camped here for the spring NASCAR race for 3 years, overall the campground is very nice and…read moreclean. Staff is amazing and the shuttle on Saturdays & Sunday's of race weekend is great, here are the drawbacks. 25-30 minute walk to track on days where a shuttle wasn't running A bunch of year round campers (residents) that have campers there. We were put on a site right next to a resident and it wasn't pretty, multiple junk all around camper, car sitting on site looking like a junkyard, dog on a chain barking during the day, leaving in early hours in morning for work waking us up. It kind of resembles a FEMA trailer park in some areas. FLOODING. 2017 we had to evacuate to higher ground, entire lower section of campground completely flooded out. As much as I hate to say it, I think we are done camping at Shadrack : (

We were looking for a campground in the Tri-Cities TN area, and most places were full. We decided…read moreto stay at Shadrack Campground in Bristol TN, which is close to Bristol Motor Speedway. Reservations were easy to make, and the person we spoke with was friendly. But, we were concerned because the sites on the online campground map looked pretty tight. We arrived late in the evening, so the office was closed. There was an envelope waiting for us on the door with campground and campsite information. The campground itself was pretty small, and the campsites were stacked right on top of each other. Also, the numbering system for the sites was confusing, and we weren't sure which site we were supposed to be using. When we found our site, there was a truck parked on our campsite. The campground manager saw that we were struggling and came to help. Comments on the campground: - The campground office and store were nice, but their hours are pretty limited. - People were quiet and respectful of each other. - The bath house was about 200 yards away, but it was nice, had lots of room and was clean. - WiFi was weak and unstable - There was no fire ring or fire pit and none were available for rent. We ended up going to Walmart and buying one that weighs 10 pounds, and we can take it with us in the future if a campsite doesn't have one. - The campsite was short, but our 30 foot travel trailer fit, just barely. - Even though the sites are very small, the utilities were not in a convenient location. We had to use 2 water hoses to connect fresh water and 3 sewer hoses to connect to the sewer. That was a pain, and I had to go to Walmart to buy extra hoses to finish setting up. We stayed for 4 nights. Overall, it was an ok stay. The campsite was functional, the campground store was nice, and the bathhouse was clean and nice. However, because of the small campsites being stacked on top of each other and the inconvenient utility hookups, we will look for other campgrounds the next time. I give Shadrack Campground a 4/10 overall.
