Loved this campground. Campsite we had was large and did offer some degree of privacy. The bath/shower house was very clean. The campground host were awesome! Cheryl and Paul were very knowledgeable of the area and resources. Cheryl could not have been more helpful or friendly!

Been here many times. Beautiful overlooks, easy enough walk to the falls, nice lake to swim in.

Beauty all around. Just a wonderful place to see, explore, and enjoy. If all you have time for is to stop at the scenic views along the way up the mountain in your car it is well worth it. The recreation area around the lake is great for a picnic and a swim. The trail to Benton Falls was rewarding.

Our visit to the Chilhowee Recreation Area was a perfect Sunday getaway. It offered a blend of scenic drives, serene lakeside moments, and the breathtaking beauty of Benton Waterfall. It's a place where nature's wonders can be fully appreciated, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful escape in the great outdoors.
