This state park is very large and there is a lot to do here. If you get to the park early enough, you can get a site with a sewer hookup. They do not have very many sites with sewer hookup. They do have a newer section, but we were told that that was for groups. The bathrooms and showers were the reason for rating this 7. And, even that is generous, because they really were awful! The rest of the park is delightful. The buffet at the Inn is "country" cooking and wasn't too bad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Fall Creek Falls were beautiful water falls without having to hike a long distance. The deer ticks were really, really bad, though. Be aware of this and go prepared with bug-spray, especially for pets. Several in our camping party pulled multiple ticks off of themselves. Still, it is beautiful with a lot to do, and we will go again! Book your reservations way ahead of your visit. (800) 250-8611 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our very first trip in our motor home. I am thrilled this is where we chose. The lots vary in levelness. Our lot required a little leveling but was the most beautiful site! Very shady with lots of privacy. The bike paths are paved and an easy ride. The biggest surprise? The food at the Inn was absolutely delicious! Blackberry cobbler, banana pudding, perfect catfish, over-the-top pulled pork, homemade chicken and dumplings! Are you kidding me?! The camp store was well stocked with all things a camper could need. Pools were not open yet but we would not have used them anyway. A beautiful, beautiful park. Bravo! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This place was very beautiful. Fortunately a friend who lived in the area recommended it and came to show us the sights. The highest waterfall east of the Mississippi, 256'. The sites are widely scattered. Forget about pull-throughs. Trees are tight. Definitely not big-rig territory. There were only two sites to pull through. One was occupied and the other was difficult to get in and out of. No bathrooms or showers within walking distance. No picnic tables. Scenery is spectacular. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped in the newly redone part of the campground. Most sites are easily accessable with a 37 motorhome but some are nearly impossible. The sites were paved with a charcoal grill and picnic table. The handicapped sites were paved and concrete under the table and grill. The large recreation area has playground for children and plenty of room for most anything that a family would want. Deer were everywhere. The park personel were great. Also, reservations can be made for this new section. Use the Tennessee State Parks website and call in the reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here on a cold winter weekend. Only two loops were open and there were a total of four campers in the entire park, although there was a group from UT in the group area. The restrooms in loop D are new and were very clean and heated, but we could not camp there because it was reservations only. (There was one pop-up camper there). The restrooms in our loop were old but were clean and functional. The area is beautiful and we enjoyed the trails very much. The campground was certainly adequate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In my opinion this is the nicest State Park in Tennessee. Beautiful scenery, wildlife, hiking trails and campground. The restaurant is a plus. I would recommend this park to anyone. You can't go wrong with this park. The only thing that some may not find appealing is that it is not near any towns but if you are well prepared to camp you wouldn't need to shop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have a 10 yr. old son and a 14 yr. old daughter. We loved this campground. There are so many things to do! It cost two dollars each to swim in the olympic size pool and my son loved jumping off the diving board. They have numerous free classes throughout the day such as knot tying, hiking, snake shows, etc. They have several waterfalls which we hiked to and several swinging bridges. There is a paved bicycle trail from the inn to waterfalls, and which goes around their beautiful lake. For a minimal charge you can also rent paddle boats. Fishing seemed to be a popular past time. At night, there are 2 ball games for campers. The first game is kids 12 and under and the second game is for ages 12 and up. My kids loved this. There is a rec room where you can play pool and ping pong. There is a great pool side snack bar with great cotton candy ice cream and a general store and a souvenir shop. We went horseback riding also. It was twenty dollars per person for a 45 minute ride. We got a sewer site in campground loop D. Our site was number 190. They are renovating the A loop to include sewer on all of those sites. They have numerous volleyball, tennis, baseball fields, etc. If you love hiking and biking and the outdoors, this is the place for you! We went down one trail called the cable trail that was straight down and you hold onto the cable as you repel down and once you get to the bottom you are at the bottom of the waterfall. It was wonderful! We camped here in a hybrid camper and saw many other hybrids and popup campers. There were also many 5th wheels and motor homes. The staff and rangers were knowledgeable and very friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After reading how wonderful this park was from Frommers (which rated it #1 in the state of Tennessee in many categories), I had very high expectations. I was completely disappointed!! I had reservations made 7 months in advance and discussed in length with the employee taking my reservation that we wanted a site with full shade. When we pulled into our site, we were in full sun. I figured that there was some mistake but when I went to the office to switch sites, I was told that there were no other sites available (may I add, that she was very rude!) That didn't start our week stay off on the right foot!! The pool is great and the falls are nice but I thought the campground was in desperate need of some TLC. The roads getting to the campground are hairpin curves and it is literally in the middle of nowhere. I wouldn't let our kids ride their bikes out of our campground loop because the roads in the campground are treacherous with cars buzzing on them. I would not return to this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice state park with a lot to see and do. I will definitely visit again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our favorite Tennessee State Park. While it is an older facility and some of the sites are rather small, there are several sites that can accomodate a 30' trailer and long-bed, crew-cab truck. The main reason that we love this park so much is that there is so much to do. There is lake and numerous streams for fishing, hiking trails, breath-taking scenery, swimming pools and swimming holes, and our two daughter's favorite - a general store with lots of rock candy! I would highly recommend this park, but try to arrive early in the week if possible as it tends to fill up on weekends. This is especially important for those needing a larger site. If you cannot locate a site in the park, Lost Cove RV Park on Highway 111 in Spencer can serve as a backup. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is absolutely beautiful. The lake is lovely, and the falls are breathtaking! We made reservations, and my in-laws lucked upon a spot near us (without reservations). The reason for my rating is we camped with our daughters, aged 12 and 16, and they each had a girlfriend with them. The campsite was adjacent to the large field, which was great, but the girls had to bike across a two-lane road (a public thoroughfare through the park), up a hill, and around a curve to get to the pool. I am slightly overprotective, and I was ready to leave by the second day, from the stress of wondering if they actually made it to the pool! If this park had a gate and was secure, it would be a simply perfect 10! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This park is our favorite local state park to camp in. The sites are very varied from sewer hook-up to wate/electric only. There are some big rig sites. You have to look around. The falls are beautiful, and they have many hiking/biking trails. The restaurant has a great buffet and the lodge/cabins are very nice. Superior golf course with deer roaming freely. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I suppose it's not fair that I rate this park as we never really camped here. However, we tried. When we arrived, we asked the teenager running the office if there were any sites available. His response was "your welcome to go see." We drove through the entire non-reservation area looking for two sites relatively close as we were camping with friends.. The ONLY site that we could find with another site in the near vicinity was next to a tent site with about 15 people on it! Besides resting under the nice blue tarp shelter, some of them were watching what appeared to be a 27" TV placed on a tree stump. The park was very crowded and there where plenty of blue-tarp campers. We are usually not that picky. However, this was the first time that my wife asked that we not stay at a campground. She was worried they might keep us up at night. So we drove over to Rock Island State Park and got a nice quiet and shaded site (from an adult manager). Perhaps we need to visit Fall Creek Falls in the winter or fall when it isn't quite as busy. Be forewarned that this park requires good maneuvering skills, particularly for those with larger rigs - no big rigs here. I suppose the falls are pretty. However, our impression of the campground was so poor, that we didn't hang around to see the falls. (Rated 3) We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Just got back (March 2004) from a long weekend at Fall Creek Falls and had a great time. We have 3 small children (7, 5, and 2) and they had a blast. There is alot there for them to do and the campground was full of other kids to play with. The bathhouse was clean, but the showers ran out of hot water. Most of the sites are manageable, but I did see some that would be a tough fit for large rigs. Overall, this is a great place. We liked all the other families with kids....could always find someone to play with or ride bikes. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We just got back from here and it was not at all as nice as I expected. First of all, we were told before going by the staff that they could not take reservations although we had a party of 5 separate RV's and we were driving over 2 hours to get there. So we get there at 8:00 that night and there is not enough room in the area where there was 50 amp hook ups which 2 of our RV's required and had to go searching in the dark for a site. We finally found enough spots for all of us. The next morning while paying, we hear her say to someone on the phone that they could make reservations which really was upsetting. Besides that, the campground was tight to get around it, and the bath house was really dirty! The only good things I can point out is the beauty of this place. Beautiful waterfalls, and scenery. Lots of wild life to look at. But overall, unless it is warm enough to go outside and you can make a reservation. I don't recommend this place for any other time of the year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our first visit to this beautiful state park. The hiking trails, golf course, day-use area, and ranger programs were great. The campground, however, wasn't so good. We stayed in the full hookup D loop, and if you have a big rig, be aware tht it is VERY tight. One gentleman pulling a 35' Hornet dug his rear stabilizing jacks into the asphalt trying to make a turn. Many sites are pretty unlevel, so bring some wood to help yourself out. We came in on a Wednesday and about half of the sites were taken. By Thursday afternoon there were probably about 5 left and by Friday morning everything was gone. The state of Tennessee is having trouble maintaining their state parks and it shows in this one. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a wonderful park. There is lots to do. Hiking, golfing, bicycling, etc. We did golf on the 18 hole course. Lots of wildlife. Wonderful waterfalls in the park. Shaded sites but the road into the sites is tight. Enter the park via hwy 111 from the south of the park is the straighter route. We were in a 32' motorhome and were pulling a trailer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A state park csmpground thst truly csters to all in the family. Wonderful scenery, great waterfall, nice hiking trails and superb swimming - whether it be at the swimming hole, cascades or the pool ($1.50 per day per person for campers). Great public golf course with a great rate of $32 (cart included) for 18 holes (just don't play the course in Fall unless you are ALWAYS on the fairway as leaves will eat your ball(s)). Lodge / inn has a good buffet. 4th of July has been our time eveyr year and they have an outstanding program then for kids. Planned activities every day for every member of family. Probably one of our favorite parks. We camped here in a camper.

Campground has it all, fishing, sight seeing, hiking, playgrounds, golf, biking, laundry facilities, etc. Only problem is access to some areas is sort of tense and camping sites vary widely as to width, depth, levelness and separation. The scenic drive is worth taking, allows easy viewing and access to the falls for which the park is named. We'd visit again just to enjoy more of what the park has to offer.
