We did road roulette and found this place. For a Saturday it was almost empty! Beautiful views! And super clean.

This is my local State Park and by local, I mean next door neighbor. I'm no expert but this may be the best State Park behind the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I think I prefer Big Ridge due to the little traffic and overall layout. Plus, we have a swimming hole. 'Nuff said.

I had a perfect first visit here. It’s great for day trip. I hiked , picnicked and swam. I really enjoyed the Big Ridge Lake trail as well as Loyston Point. I saw deer, turtles, and herring. The swimming area had places to grill and picnic. The restroom facilities were very clean.

Spent five days here and could have easily spent more! This campground offers so much! We rented a kayak and fishing boat one day, swam at their beach almost every night, took beautiful pics next to their grist mill at sunset and the list goes on. We didn’t even scratch the surface on what they have to offer. Their campsites are spacious and bath houses are clean. Their wood burns great, so buy without hesitation. Many times you go to campgrounds and their wood doesn’t burn, not the case here. The campground is quiet and peaceful (at least our experience). We will definitely be back!!
