There is easy access to Chattanooga area – about 15 min drive. It is located approximately 3 miles off I-59, but you have to go down rural roads so it seems longer. Staff is very friendly; brought brochures about things to do in the area to our site and even offered to bring firewood. We were escorted to our site. There is clean grounds, nice game room with about 10 video games and two pool tables. You can rent videos and DVDs at the office. There is an adequately sized clean pool, but it needs emptying and painting as it looks a little dingy. A large air filled jumping pillow available for the kids was also very nice. There is a playground with good well kept equipment. Roads are paved and gravel, narrow but adequate, and trees are trimmed back. Pain in the butt speed bumps made from 2 X 4’s are worse then most speed bumps. Site layout is somewhat eclectic reflecting the age of the park – some sideways, some pull thru, some back ins – most are not very level. Staff told us we were in the longest and most level pull thru. Our pull thru site was 55 feet long and started running downhill beginning at about 25 feet into the site requiring extra blocks under front tires to level. Electric voltage measured 108 with only one AC unit running – the low end of what we are comfortable with – would prefer it be around 115. Sites range from heavily shaded to complete sun. Most are shady so don’t expect satellite reception, and the cable at the park only has about 12 channels. It is very quiet at night with no road noise, just lots of soothing nighttime “mother nature” sounds. And, of course, because it’s a KOA it’s expensive even with the Value Kard discount. We would return but would try first for one of the less expensive parks closer to Chattanooga. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have to say that our camping experience here was a little different than other places. First, this camp ground is a good 20 minutes from anything. Other than the drive in movie, get ready to drive if you want to leave the campground. Also, there wasn't a really good place for our dogs. They do allow dogs, just not really a dog walking area. On a positive note, the staff was very, very nice! The pool area was very nice also. Overall it was a good trip, just next time I'm going to stay somewhere closer into town. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The staff is very friendly and the location peaceful. They plan activities for the campers, nice playground for the kis, but that said, the park layout is odd, narrow inside roads and most sites are such that it is very difficult to level. When our jacks came down on the blocks it buried the blocks in loose gravel and we were still not level. Sites are short and you have to be creative to park car near coach. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed overnight. Great place, still doing some work but definitely will return. They are upgrading by adding a bounce and cable. Owner was helpful and friendly. The campground was quiet. The area looks like there is a lot do and if I have a chance I will return and stay at this campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The point I am attempting to make here will be of little interest to most who read these reviews but it is important to us. One section of the campground is set up for small trailers. Water and electricity only. Other sections, one to be improved this winter, is for Class A, 5th wheels, etc. We enjoy being in the midst of trailers similar to mine. We camp in a hard-sided folding pop-up. So the "small" trailer area-- and its nearby new modern bathhouse-- is just right for us. Broader range of favorable characteristics of this KOA: very well maintained, absence of Interstate noise, excellent swimming pool, large, new outdoor movie theater nearby, and last but certainly not least-- the enthusiasm of the current operator Brian. For young families: lots of activities and a big game room, for kids. We will recommend this site for a weekend rally of our Club members, in 2008. Which says that we would most definitely come back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very nice and in a beautiful mountain setting. The owners were wonderful hosts. Peaceful nature sounds. We loved it and will return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We went to camp for the KOA Come Camp & Care With Us Weekend. We paid for Friday night, and received free camping for Saturday night. It's a good thing we got the second night free, or we probably would have packed up Saturday morning. The posted camp store hours were 8-10am and 2-5pm, since this was not considered 'in season'. We often stay at KOAs, and have a KOA Value Card, which gives us a discount, and is supposed to give us "Guaranteed best available site at time of registration. Recognition as a valued KOA camper. Plus faster check-in at registration. " We did get fast check-in, since the map with our site circled was hanging on the door when we arrived at 8 pm on Friday night. The site seemed to have been wedged in between two others, leaving us little to no privacy. The bathrooms were miserably small, with no handicapped accessible facilities. The toilet stalls were so small that I had to stand between the wall and the toilet to open or close the stall door. There was an unrestrained dog and two cats wandering the campground. One cat spent the weekend near our site, hoping for a handout. It bit a child at a neighboring site. All in all, this wasn't what I expected from any KOA. Usually they are well run and clean, with very helpful staff willing to do whatever it takes. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed here overnite on our way to North Carolina. It is a little bit off the beaten path. Sites are somewhat hilly but good size. The bath rooms and showers are clean and maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We found this park after the state park we had hoped to stay at was full for the weekend and in the end we were glad since this park was not too full and very quiet and the state park was probably a zoo. We noticed some somewhat distant train noise but it was not at all troublesome. Roads inside the park are wide enough and give easy access but are rather lumpy and the dump is situated in a slightly awkward manner but these are minor complaints. Route in from the freeway was very clearly signed and slightly narrow but really no problem whatever. There is a convenient easy in and out gas station just off the freeway exit as well. We had site #15 and it was level and felt roomy without anyone camped on either side, it might seem a lot more cramped if the park was full. The bathrooms were quite clean and well kept and the showers were a bit small but had a private dressing area. The hot water took a very long time to get warm and never actually got hot. The pool was closed but looked clean. They offer Wi-Fi but don't have cable. Overall we liked this park, it was pretty, quiet and clean, the people were friendly and the location worked well for us. We visited Chickamauga battlefield, Point Park on Lookout Mountain, the Camping World and the Chattanooga Market. We would absolutely stay here again in the off season. We have a 30 ft class A. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is a little off the beaten path, but well worth it. There are cute little signs of encouragement on the way up to the campground saying hang on, you're almost there! Very charming. The staff go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant stay. Very beautiful area, the views of the mountains on the way in and out are spectacular. A great experience, we will definately be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Hosts were helpful but park is old and showing its age. It is a bit off of I-59 along narrow, windy county roads. Park sits on top of a hill with site roads cut across the hill. Nice pool - larger than most. This park is out of the way and is not close to anything which is important with the price of fuel. Stayed only 1 night as it was about 20-25 minute drive to downtown Chattanooga (1:30 PM with virtually no traffic problems). Quiet but just out of the way as a base to see Chattanooga so I went on down the road for the rest of our stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Campground staff very professional and friendly. Also have discounted tickets to area attractions. All facilities clean and maintained. Only 10 minutes from everything there is do in Chattanooga. We pull a 38 foot 5th wheel with a long bed crew cab dually and had absolutely no problem getting in and out of their campground. Would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A beautiful campsite in the North West corner Of Georgia, Worn, but a clean facility.
Owners were very helpful. Very close to Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain attractions. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A very clean, and well cared for facility! Staff was courteous, helpful and responsive. The park is nestled at the base of Lookout Mountain in a delightful rural setting. It is located next to hang gliding landing field and caters primarily to those who come for hang gliding but all are welcome. Chattanooga is an easy drive with many activities available in the area. It was fascinating watching the hang gliders being towed up for their flights or watching them glide gracefully to the ground. All the people we met during our stay were warm and friendly. I strongly recommend you consider staying at this safe and family oriented facility. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.
