Knowing the weekend was coming up, we decided we needed to get here on Thursday. We did, at about noon, and it's a good thing we did - we got the next-to-last available site, and someone came along shortly after us to claim the last one. We were very happy with site 21; as you can see, it sits right at the water's edge facing SSW. Date of visit: Apr 2011 |
 |
This is your initial view as you enter the campground, showing sites 4-8. |
 |
There is a single loop road through the campground, with sites on both sides. Here are sites 28-29. |
 |
Site 8 is a pleasant site near the water, with a stand of cypress trees behind it. |
 |
Here is a Susan site - site 26 sits at the end of a little point of land. |
 |
Sites 41 and 40 are on the eatsern side of the loop. |
 |
Sites 47 and 46. |
 |
Typical of the "inland" sites is site 51. |
 |
Sites 1-3 are on the north-facing side of the loop. |
 |
Sites 12-9. |
 |
Site 13 is one of the two pull-through sites. We almost took it before spotting 21 up ahead a bit. |
 |
Sites 26-29 are all nice sites with great water views. |
 |
The bathhouse offeres free hot showers (with the push-button faucet) and is heated. The hosts do a good job keeping it clean. |
 |
Near the center of the camp loop is a good-sized pavilion. |
 |
Right at the campground entrance is a boat ramp. Beyond it is the swimming area. |
 |
One always see fishermen out trying their luck. Beyond them is the Browns Ferry nuclear power plant, at one time the largest reactor built. |
 |
The unguarded swimming area is fairly large. |
 |
Beside the beach is a playground for the young ones. |
 |
Sunset at site 21. |

Overall Impression: Not a bad spot. Not quite up to the standards of a COE park, but with just a little work, it could be. 35 sites are available for seasonal rent, leaving 21 for short stays of up to three weeks. Fortunately the water-front sites have been reserved for the short-term folks. The host was very friendly and makes his presence known. Campers are allowed to park boat trailers and cars on the grass, so there is a lot of dirt and mud when it rains. Would we return? You bet!
