Nice campground, great hosts. Big sites, lots of open space. Kayaks, paddle boards and canoes for rent. Power and water with a dump station. Stayed in a 5th wheel, easy pull throughs.

This is a TVA campground but when we arrived the check in person told us the new owner does not give discounts for senior citizens or discounts of any kind. Pickwick Dam TVA gave us a discount using our Life Time Senior Pass. I will not be camping here again.

We camped here in our personal travel trailer. The campground was easy to find. The staff at the entrance were extremely friendly and helpful. The campground was easy to navigate, and the spots were much larger than I expected them to be. The bathrooms, dumpsters, and dump stations were located conveniently throughout the park. The grounds were clean. The beach was the highlight for my family. My children didn’t want to leave the beach at all. The swimming area stays fairly shallow, and that gave me peace of mind as a parent. We loved the access to fishing and kayaking, as well. A town is located near by in case you forgot anything. We have AT&T, and we had no cell service 95% of the time. For some, that’s wonderful, but I figured I’d throw that in this review just for others to know. We had the best time there this weekend, and we will be back in the future!

Pay almost $400 for a camping trip; where your husband drives to work from the campsite. Your son wants to come eat dinner and he has to pay $11.22 for 2 hours. No wonder the campsite is bare. With your grown up grass. 🙄

We booked 3 nights, but only stayed 2 nights. We had site #31 which wasn't considered "waterfront" but we did have a great water view. We travel in a 46' Fifth Wheel and we had no issues with this particular site. There were a handful of sites we could fit into, none of which were on the small island. If you have a large rig, you absolutely can stay here, just measure site size overhead via google maps. Fishing wasn't all that great, but everyone looks to have fishing poles so everything around the campground is overfished. Forewarning, LARGE families camp here. I'm talking, 1 site will have 4-5 vehicles, 4-5 tents and several pop ups. We enjoyed the atmosphere, but I can see it being a turn off to some. We were here over Memorial Day weekend, but it didn't seem any worse than another other weekend at a Tennessee State Park Campground. Pro's: 1) Beautiful, large, pull thru sites with Electric & Water. 2) Sunsets and water views are awesome. 3) Centrally located dump station that never seemed over busy. 4) Close to an amazing Pizza Place called Spinelli's in downtown Tullahoma! 5) Beach area for kiddo's to swim. Con's: 1) Can be busy and loud on weekends. 2) Pretty expensive for only electric & water ($50+/night) 3) You have to book plenty early to get waterfront/waterview sites. We'd absolutely stay here again, but we'd try and spend more than just a couple nights. We weren't able to take the kayak's for a dip in Normandy Lake which is a bummer, but we enjoyed our brief stay here.

Beautiful clean place but staff confronted the people in front of me (my family) about my truck being parked on the side of the site out of the way. Saying that it's ok TVA will just tow it without warning me at all. While the guy next to me was obviously homeless/on something living out of his car talking to himself and constantly checking the front of his car 4 or 5 times a hour. Kind of alarming to spend a weekend getaway next too with your children. Chalked it up to a bad experience but there are better/safer places to camp in the area.

We had an amazing time! It was family friendly and clean. Our children had so much fun at the Halloween trick or treating we will definitely be back!

We stayed in site 15 and it was a great stay. We will definitely be back. The views were great, the entire grounds were incredibly clean… including the bathhouse. The campground was full as this was a holiday weekend.. everyone was friendly and courteous and respectful of all the shared spaces.

Barton Springs is an excellent campground. The lake is beautiful and clean, and the spaces were very well maintained. We also met many wonderful people when we stayed, especially hosts Donna and Tom. They were extremely welcoming and friendly. Our only small complaint about the campground is that some of the spaces are very close together. If you plan ahead (which we didn’t!), you can easily find a spacious site that is close to many exciting adventures.
