We had a wonderful time. The house is comfortable the ac work wonderful. The staff is friendly…read more they answer all our questions. If u looking for place are peace and quiet and to unplug from social media this is the place for you. The saltwater pool was wonderful and we fished off the dock. It's about hour drive to jack daniel A hour and half to Nashville Two hours from knoxville 38 mins to rock city in chattanooga

DO NOT RENT A BOAT OR STAY HERE! Firstly my husband and I wanted to rent a double decker pontoon…read moreboat. It was on a Monday there was 6 of these boats in the water and we were told all of them were broken. So we settled for a regular pontoon that you CANNOT fish on or pull a tube with. What's the point of renting a boat then? This place and their rules were absolutely ridiculous and there was an extra fine for everything. Fishing off the boat was an extra $200, if you didn't have it back at the exact time $50 for every 30 minutes. Oh and if you bring the boat back late they will call the cops on you and lie saying you recked their POS boat! That exactly what happened to my brother yesterday because he didn't have his boat back on time! Had to deal with the police on our vacation because my brother was late bringing his boat back, he knew he was late and was fine with paying the fee to have the boat a little longer. Calling the police however and LYING saying he damaged a crappy boat was messed up! These people are money hungry aholes. Don't get me started on the floating cabin. Firstly it smells horrible, secondly nothing like the photos, it was dirty, out dated, nothing worked and wasn't worth the money. The stove didn't work, the doors didn't even lock, old lights on the deck that also didn't work, a tiny fridge with no freezer like even a cheep roach motel has a bigger fridge! The bed was uncomfortable and sheets were stained, oh and the pictures of the view is misleading off your porch all you see is old boats in the water. Staff was rude and unprofessional the lady working was vaping while us checking in and renting the boat.

We actually spotted this location when we were beginning our journey and I took a screenshot of our…read morelocation and when we were driving back through I recognized it and so we stopped. I'm really glad that we took the time to spend a few hours and even spend the night here. This is a really beautiful lake to be able to have a very calm and relaxing time. There are a lot of folks doing night fishing but they do a pretty good job of not shining their lights into the camping area where the tent campers are at. We camped with our tent about 15 ft from the river and it was lovely. The day we arrived was a little bit tricky because we stopped and inquired about camping and we were told if there was not a tent, then the spot was available and to pitch our tent come back and tell him the site #, pay the fee. We did that. But when we got back he said "oh except for that spot". So then we had to move our tent over one spot, however nobody showed up in the spot that we were at that night or the next day so not sure what happened there. But when it was all said and done we had a nice little corner all to ourselves. This is definitely a place that is very convenient to get to off of interstate 24 and if you are on a road trip I would definitely recommend stopping and paying $15 to park there for the night. They also have on the other side of the island an area for RV parking. $30 rate per night, however you can rent an RV spot for a month for $500 and it includes water electric and there is a dump station. Oh! And there is a bathhouse. There is 2 men's rooms with toilet sink and shower, and there is 2 women's rooms with toilet sink and shower. The use of these facilities is included in the camping rate. If you were just here for a day trip there is a really nice boat ramp as well as on the other side there is a park area that is available for use during the day and there are picnic tables and a swimming area that looks really nice. We launched our kayak off of our campsite and went around the lake over to the Tennessee River. When you get to the Tennessee River if you take a left (SW), there is a beautiful cliff face that has birds singing very loudly and it's just stunning. If instead, you go to the right, there is another large area with a big lake and if you look forward and a little to your left (SE) you might see a train going by in the distance.

This is a nice park although a bit odd. I have never seen long term residents at a county or state…read morepark however a lot of the people here seem to be long term residents. The park itself is very nice with a huge lake. Do note we decided to get a spot directly on the lake side since there was a ton of open spots. However I would recommend staying away from the spots at the edge of the lake. There are a lot of geese here and apparently they take quite large and nasty poops... the edge of the lake is covered in geese poop... you learn something new everyday. Other than that it's lovely. Only water and electric although there is a dump station.

Excellent spelunking and cave exploring adventure are at Racoon Mountain Cavern and also wonderful…read morecampgrounds. Came here with Troop 513 and our Boy Scouts and adults really enjoyed a truly wonderful and satisfying experience. The cave exploration is definitely an adventure and challenging and pushes you to the limit while being guided by experienced guides. Our cave guides were Tristan and Emily and both were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the cave and their experience definitely made what would have otherwise been a very frustrating and difficult task a fun and truly memorable experience. Tip: you can bring your phone if you aren't afraid to possibly damage or lose it as you will be crawling and squeezing through many parts of the adventure. 5 stars for the cave adventure and 5 stars for the campgrounds. Thank you for all you do for the scouts and making this great experience available to the public!

The campground is beautiful with the exception of a condemned building, debri lying around, leaves…read morepiled high in the middle of campsites. The staff is unfriendly. The Manager confronted us at our campsite after we complained about a parking issue. She brought 3 staff members to our camper. She instructed one staff member to turn on her body camera after and film us. True story folks! We came to Chattanooga for a race. I would never return. We packed up and left immediately. I felt unsafe at this campground. I do NOT recommend.
