One of our favorite spots. Back up to the river if you want. Each site is capable of dual occupancy. Meaning you can fit two per site. The price doubles per night if you do. Vault toilets are available.

Nice campground although very primitive. Vault toilets, no water, no mobile service, narrow road. Picture just below state line looking down to Rough Ridge campground.

Multiple times a year I bring my family up to any of the campgrounds along the Tellico. Never had any issues. Pit toilets are cleaned often. Sites are usually in great shape. Will continue visiting!

Great place to stay! The host couple are such nice people, the place is new, free laundromat, the sites need to be better level. But everything else it’s been amazing, met very nice people there! Is far enough from the city. Very recommended
