Mid week visit and there was hardly anyone around. No cost to enter. The parks were clean and well kept. The marina near the dam was very nice. The scenery was amazing! Highly recommended! Full review by snickerdoodle205

Can alcohol be consumed quietly and in private at campgrounds?
A:
I think so. We had wine with us in the cabin but we we there after Xmas so not out. I think if you are discreet and not drunk you would have no problems.

A:

Thank you. I only need a boat small enough for 2 people. Everyone I have called down there have boats with 4 to 6 bedrooms. They are just to big for my needs this trip. I wish I could find a private owner that would like to make some extra money and just let me rent their houseboat out for a few days to relax and forget the city from where I live. Anyway thanks again for your help. God Bless.
AdWitness unbelievable views and capture irreplaceable memories on your next trip to TN. Spend a day exploring the trails of Tennessee’s parks and nature.
