My wife and I took a weekend trip to Tim's Ford SP the second weekend in January to try out our new RV. The park staff was so helpful and accommodating. We loved the campground with large level sites. The miles of well maintained paved bike trails are worth a trip. Overall a very enjoyable trip in a less than ideal camping month.

Absolutely loved my stay. I stayed at Fairview Campground and relaxed with the water view. The Lost Creek Overlook trail was magnificent (watch out if rope bridges aren't your thing!) There were even fossils on the lakeside we were amazed to see. We especially loved seeing the animals at the visitor center, which we did not know were there. I will say, I walked the Story Book Trail and loved it, but the panels needed a bit of TLC! Some of the panels were tough to read with dirt crusted on. We brought some water and were able to clear a couple panels of its dirt but would be special if they were all clean and more easily readable for the next visitor.

I have visited this park many times throughout the seasons and really enjoy the loop trails. The terrain is easy plus some trails follow the water. Also paved bike trails. Views are gorgeous especially early morning sunrise 🌅. The nature center is fun for children to learn what animals inhabit the park. Parking and bathrooms, maps, info are available at Park Office. There are 2 EV Parking stations. Camping and RV sites plus educational programs. Have fun and please remember to pack out anything you pack in. 🥰👨‍🦯👩‍🦯🌄🏕🌃

Beautiful and peaceful state park with great scenic views of the water. Trails are well-marked and perfect for a relaxing walk or an easy hike. Lots of spots to stop, take photos, or just sit and enjoy the lake. Very clean, well-kept, and a great place to unwind. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful! Stayed in one of the cabins, and I loved every second of it. The cabin was a clean and spacious living area. The cabin has a large private porch to the master bedroom and a very large extended porch for the guest room and the dining area, all with outstanding views. The trails in this park are beautiful and generally easy to hike with scenic views of the waterway and forests. The visitors center is wonderful and full of information. They have critters found in the area that are being rehabilitated, such as a hawk , a great horned owl, snakes, and others around for viewing. The rangers are knowledge and outgoing, providing great experiences to kids. We were able to hold a snake, rock climb, and get a nice tour before we wandered off to hit the trails. I recommend bringing the family and enjoying time outdoors. ALSO, apprently, this is Sasquatch country lol, so be on the lookout out. HAVE FUN!!!

The Tims Ford Park is nice. It offers a Great paved bike trail that goes from one end to the other end of the park. You do have to watch out for the roots that have raised the pavement. It is shaded by a terrific tree canopy. The #43 campsite was nice and spacious. With a lovely sunken patio area that includes your fire pit. Loved that. The part that I HATED....the park allowed a super loud party to take place right in the center of the campground both nights that I was there. I have camped several times at several different places. I have never encountered this situation before and I hope I don't again. If I was to go to the club, I would have stayed in Nashville. I am disappointed in the park rangers for not nippings the situation in the bud.

The park manager and his staff at the gift shop /welcome center make for a great host and hostesses. The maintenance guy dale and the ladies that clean the cabins were very kind and accommodating. I’d recommend this place to anyone!… the boat ramp isn’t crowded… slips available and affordable… the cabins are nicer than many condos… nice facilities, great spot…. 2 places to buy a Diet Coke!!

Really great! Everything was clean, neat and organized. And, for the birders, there were so many birds singing and calling in the morning! No big deal, but the campsite parking is very short. You will need to disconnect your truck from your RV. The trail (Lost Creek?) suspension bridges were really neat. Hate to see them in a cage, but we loved the great-horned owl and red-tailed hawk, too. Thanks so much for a great stay!

I always love using the walking trails here. It's a beautiful place that offers nice paved walking trails, as well as, hiking trails. Wildlife can be seen all year around, and there are picnic tables along the paved walking path. There are also restrooms at a few points around the park and a playground, too. I always start my walks at the visitor center, which has a gift shop, bird exibits, and a newer "discovery" building which houses some local wildlife and informational exhibits about Tennessee and the park in particular. I just wish I lived closer, as I would go a lot more often.
