    This park is amazing! We ended up here after a long road trip and needed to stretch our legs and let my son run out some of his energy. We had lunch here on top of a hill with plenty of picnic tables and public grilling spots that overlook the beautiful lake. This is also where the first tee is for their frisbee golf course. There's a massive playground here with swings, monkey bars, sand pits and a huge walking trails for both kids and adults. There's also a walking trail that's themed after the book, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe". This includes an actual wardrobe that kids can walk through and start the story trail with accompanying book themed statues, play areas, and even talking signs along the path that help explain the story of the book. The bathrooms here were super clean and the there is tons of parking available. We will be stopping here on our next road trip to VA!

    We came to this park just as the rain was letting up, and the animals were out! We saw cranes, ducks, and a cluster of about six deer right in front of the visitors' center. This land is named "Warriors Path" because it was an actual warpath used during the fights between the Iroquois and the Cherokee. The park was deeded to Tennessee in 1950. It has an inclusive playground for those with disabilities, boating, fishing, 94 campsites, 10 miles of biking trails, a disc gold course, and an 18 hole golf course. We saw a ton of wildlife and enjoyed getting to look around at what this park has to offer.

    First camping trip to Warrior's Path State Park. We stayed for a long weekend since we were attending a wedding in the area. Plenty to do at this park. Amenities include the lake, swimming pool, fishing, boating, disc golf, an 18 hole golf course, riding stables, and miles of hiking trails. We didn't get to take advantage of all of the amenities due to the amount of time spent with wedding weekend activities. We plan to return though.

    Warrior's Path State Park is pretty cool.... It's a popular destination in the area for both locals and out of towners, so because of that it's hit or miss when it comes to other human beings you may encounter. Nothing they can do to control the bad apples, so it is what it is. There is A LOT I do here. A lot. Plenty of hiking trails for both beginners and hard core crowds, swimming, community events, etc. Can also do paddle boat or kayaking, fishing, and great place to take your dogs to I imagine (I don't have a dog). I mainly come here for the camping though and have been here quite a few times for that. My camping trips are typically last minute and for some reason they are rarely booked up on a moments notice (except obviously on holidays). The campground area, specifically the overflow area since I do tent camping, is pretty decent. Clean restrooms, and fairly private with an accessible trailhead. I say fairly private because your actual camp site isn't private, but people tend to mind their own business so that's a good thing. Grounds crew also come by here and there to make sure everything is good, control noise, and keep things tidy. It's not the best campground by far, but it's nice because it's convenient... just a heads up, it is close to roads so you'll hear cars. If I was looking for something more remote then I would not come here but for a quick camping trip to get away from regular life it fits the bill.

    This state park has an awesome playground for kids of all ages. It is an inclusive park with accessible play equipment for kids with special needs and special rides. There are two separate playgrounds, plus a nature walk featuring the story of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, a rustic treehouse lookout, a sensory walk and a puppet theater. It's a must do If you're local or passing through with kids.

    Great place to get away to walk the trails or have a picnic. If you're close enough it's a cool place to take your lunch break and relax.

    I stayed here three nights and didn't want to leave! As I walked to the camp store to check in, I…read morecould feel myself relaxing. I was greeted by a couple sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. I think the winding road up the mountain and the driveway helped me realize how secluded this place is. There are only nine sites that are spaced far enough apart that you think you're the only person here! Each site is different than the others. The fire pits are amazing. You have to check them out for yourself! There are creeks everywhere. You can hear the water from every site (that's if you're not in a site next to one. Then you can see them also). There was thought put in to making each site spectacular. There are picnic tables, pads for tents, trees and posts for hammocks and awesome fire pits. There are hiking trails that lead up the mountain and into the Cherokee National Forest and around the property. You need to walk them to experience the beauty and the spectacular views! The bath house is like a large bathroom that feels like home! They even have blow dryers here to use! There are two sinks for dishes along with scrubbies and dish soap! The bath house or the camp store both have electrical outlets if you need to recharge batteries for your lights. Don't charge your phone! There's no need for that as a distraction! I will be back!

    I've been to TONS of campgrounds. Most of them I thoroughly enjoyed. The only times I have not, had…read moremore to do with the other campers more so than the actually campground. But THIS one, this one is different from most. There are only a handful of campsites, but the experience is what I imagine would be how campgrounds "should" be before commercial ones started popping up, and laying campsites on top on one another to maximize profit. Yes the commercial ones also brought along nice amenities such as clean bathhouses and electrical connections to keep up with what folks in general expect these days... and that's when locally owned campgrounds had to follow suit or risk going out of business. Here... it goes back to how it was. No electrical connections. Privacy. Views. Isolation. A connection with true nature without having to hike miles and miles with 40+ lbs of gear. The camp store is based on a honor system, you get what you need 24/7. If nobody is there just jot down what you grabbed and it will be billed to you. It is packed with lots of custom made locally goodies, along with standard necessities (first aid, bug repellent, hygiene stuff, snacks, etc) and are priced too low!!! The bathhouse. The bathhouse. Oh man, talk about putting thought into it. Feels just like my own mountain getaway... in my imagination of course because I don't really have a mountain getaway. Well I do now, except I don't really own it. That doesn't stop me from wishing I had own it though. Anyway, this review is already way too long. I guess that's what a great camping trip can do to you. It brings out the peacefulness in you, and make you so content that you want to write a novel about it. I'm not recommending this place to all. I'm just recommending it to those that truly enjoy camping... and nature with only the things we need and absolutely nothing that we don't. Peace!

    I called here to try and make a reservation and the woman who answered the phone was rude. She…read moredidn't even answer the phone like a business. I had to ask if it was a campground. She didn't want to make the reservation for me because it was too far out and she said she didn't want to kick out her full-timers for someone only wanting to stay for a weekend. I was trying to book a year out, but maybe she has full-timers staying more than a year out or something, not sure. She wouldn't explain it to me, so I had to hang up. If this rude over the phone, I can only imagine what it must be like in person if you need assistance while camping.

    The folks running this campsite may not have been in the business long but I tell you what... I've…read morebeen to several campsites now and this is one of the best I've been to. It's not huge but they have a lot to offer! We went this week, so fall, so we weren't able to go tubing but we were able to go kayaking which was so great! Now this kayaking isn't like huge rapids or anything, in fact it is more of a slow pace with a few blips of tiny rapids. So pace is left completely up to you, and since this was my first time kayaking I really enjoyed getting the feel of the kayak without having to worry about being spilled out. The Campsite was really spacious, there was plenty of firewood available if we needed it and there was plenty brought over to our campsite for our use. They had an awning that was used for other things during the summer I guess we were able to use over our pick-nick table which was really great since we had a lot of stuff and the back of our car doubled as a second tent for our third person. Cooking was a bit of a challenge since there weren't any built in grates for the fire rings but we were able to figure something out so it all worked out. The bathroom was just a shower and toilet/sink room however the lighting system was well set up and (at least in the fall) was never so busy we ever had to wait. Also, it was extremely clean! We stayed here because it was the closest campsite to the place where we were picking up a puppy but we were so happy with Something Squatchy Adventures we plan to visit next year! PS. Prices were great and they're pet friendly!

We did have a pretty scary mishap.Our Jeep while being disconnected rolled down a hill. My wife actually tried to jump in to stop it (not recommended!), and ended up with quite a few bumps, scrapes, and bruises. Thankfully, it wasn't anything more serious, but definitely a moment we won't forget. What truly stood out was the incredible response from the staff. Wayne showed up immediately and, along with Jennifer, and the front desk lady who I don't know her name, jumped into action. Wayne was able to safely pull our Jeep back up over the ledge, and their calm, supportive response made all the difference in a stressful situation. We are so grateful. Beyond that adventure, the campground has been fantastic. The grounds are clean, the playground is being updated, and they even blew up the jump pad for the kids,which was a huge hit! There are also resident donkeys who love carrots, which adds such a fun and unique touch. And I have to say......major win on the bathrooms and showers. They are spotless and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space to hang clothes and set down toiletries (which, if you RV, you know is everything!). I truly can't say enough about how wonderful our stay has been. Great people, great atmosphere, and a place we would absolutely come back to. Highly recommend!

They close at 6, so if you check in after hours, they hang a bag and insist you sign a waiver and drop it in a box. We are used to being escorted to sites by staffers in golf carts - none of that here, in fact very little interaction with, nor seeing anyone who worked there. The sites are not very level, and it can be incredibly steep to get out. We were there 4 days, and I can say it's incredibly quiet, to the point my husband and I felt uncomfortable sitting outside with low music talking. It seems that most people are either long term stays, or single night on their way elsewhere (we had a different neighbor every single night). With other options in the area, we won't be back.

The park here is set up with a number of camping facilities and trails that have a separate entrance, while the attraction itself is accessible by parking at a visitor center and either walking down a fairly steep trail or taking a (seasonal) chairlift. On the dreary day I visited, there was barely a soul in sight, but the park seemed to be setting up for a winter lights festival. The tunnel itself is used for a railroad line, and a viewing platform allows you to go to the edge of the tunnel but you can't actually go through it, which is disappointing. The trail downstream through the gorge is pleasant and worth a brief jaunt but it terminates quickly. Those seeking more of a hike will find the ridge trail that heads upwards worthwhile, and the views of the tunnel from above are probably at least as good as what you'd get walking up close to it. The local Lover's Leap is majestic (and horrifying, if you think about it). I did not think it one of the more impressive state parks in either Virginia or in the the confluence of states in this region, but there are some nice things to see.
