We love coming to Parksville Lake. We take our pontoon boat out and spend a few hours out on the water for those who don’t have about the beach access is nice. You pay the three dollars and there’s plenty of shade of trees and facilities steps leading into the water to get in and out easily.

Nancy the camp host, is the Bomb. She took great care of all our needs and questions. Bathrooms sparkling. No one that doesn’t belong is getting by her. She’s on it. Anything you need from maps to hiking to directions she’s got you covered. Quiet & peaceful park. We originally had site 10 and all the sites that were available for the time we were going to be there she let us know on arrival and we picked the best for us. We chose 4. Great site. There is a double site next to 4 that families usually rent. The water sites are great. They have a high bank so most are hard to get to the water. Loved this park. Yes we will be back. We have starlink and it was spotty.

We stayed here for several days in March of 2023. While it could still use some updating, the facility is still kept stocked and clean. The camp hostess was friendly and helpful. This is still one of our favorite areas to visit because the surrounding area is abundant with hiking of all kinds, from easy to difficult. Lots of trails tucked away off the sides of the road. The views in the area are some of the best in the state. The sites are well setup and have enough space to be comfortable. There were actually black bears in the area and lots of pets on-site, be sure to keep yours leashed. Sadly there is a lot of storm damage-downed trees all over the area. It's still beautiful, but it will be some time before it returns to normal. Everything is open and functioning. Be sure to visit Cleveland and Chattanooga, both are close by.

We stayed 6 days starting 3/6/23. I've seen complaints of the host, but the couple that were there during our stay were fantastic. They said hello when they saw us, but never intruded. They also gave us some dinner recommendations in town when we asked them and they kept them restrooms/showers pristine. The campsite is great, the perimeter sites have a creek running behind them. The dam is nearby and catching the sunrise on the lake just outside the campground is well worth waking up early.

This is one of the most amazing little campgrounds you will ever find! The hiking/biking trails out of the park lead to waterfalls and beautiful mountain vistas. If you're into road riding your motorcycle, this is a launching point. It is a fantastic ride to the Dragons Tail The campground was able to handle my Class A RV.

This is a nice campground with lots of shade. Showers and bathrooms. 30-50 amp dump station and water hydrants in the campground. Nice level gravel pads. Fire ring and picnic tables. Some amazing views within a few miles .

This little camp was awesome! Clean, friendly, and quiet. Just the place to be to be immersed in the fall colors. Nancy, the campground hose was helpful and nice. Would definitely stay again.

Great little place to camp. Host was super nice. Only things that I'd like to see is upgrades on the bath house and water hook up at least. It doesn’t have water or septic hook up.
