We enjoyed our stay here. It is a nice, comfortable RV park. The staff was friendly. I do have a few complaints. The store was not stocked very well. We needed toilet paper. They had none for our camper. The cable hookup only had a male end and they were not willing to provide a connector to make it work even though she said she normally had one on there and someone must have taken it. Lastly, the showers were disgusting. Hair and mold in the corners of the shower stalls along with other peoples soap and razors made me happy I was wearing my flip-flops. Like I said, the staff was very friendly. They just did not go out of there way to be very accommodating. I would recommend Black Bear Cove. Just make sure you have enough toilet paper with you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Good things: very clean restrooms, clean park, friendly staff, lots of trash cans throughout campground, cable-TV. Not so Good things: not all lots level/gravel sites when it rains strong majority are under water; septic and water hook-up 1 foot to 3 foot apart (too close); river is 450 feet or more from campsites; lots of rule with threats of fines for anything you do wrong; no shade (park is young, but still not enough trees planted for each site when developed); fire rings too high to enjoy a good old fashion campfire; expense/overpriced for what you get and what they have too offer (steep additional charges for more then 2 people, TV and TT) campground did have Wi-Fi, pool, pavilion, volleyball court, laundry room, and playground (did not use); had strong water pressure and must use a converter (was not told at check in we had to fill tank use water pump; however, the park attendant was very accommodating next day to let us borrow one); no activities for kids. Fishing license in Tennessee for out of state resident is very high so we did not fish. ($32 for 3 days per person). I am neutral on this one. Good for just overnight stays or travel throughs, not for long haul vacation. Good SAM club. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped here with the local Good Sam's club "Sam's Dixie Travelers". It was pouring down when we arrived but from the welcome that we received you would have thought that it was nothing but sunshine outside. The staff were great the site that we had #21 was great and the view was super. While there the club had a vote on the campgrounds that we will go to next year and this one was selected again. Watched the TN vs FL game on cable. The only negative was the WiFi was not strong enough at this site. Took the laptop to the pavilion and it worked great. Watched the gliders sail over the mountains. What a site. They do not charge for WiFi anymore. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
