It was a beautiful park. Would love to visit in summer.
Roger Dillard
It is a beautiful park surrounded by Lake Chickamaga. Like all rv parks, some sites are much better than others. The price is very reasonable but there are no full hookups. So you have to have dumping carts for sewage to dump at dumping stations. Great place for boats and skidos.

We got into park and treated very nice, showed on a map where are site was, launtiand dump areas. The site are not big where we are, but other areas seem larger. Very clean and kept up.

Really pretty place, great fishing, and only $20 a night unless you live in the area then its $10. Had a raccoon come visit and it visited a neighbors' site and took over their air mattress. Fun place, even if the raccoons are little troublemakers, would definitely recommend
