Campgrounds on tubing river tn,ky, al, ga.

I am looking for campgrounds in these areas where they are on a river or creek that you can tube on and return back to campground


Thanks. Bill
  • Blue Heron Campground KY. On the border of KY and TN. Big South Fork NRRA. South fork of the Cumberland river. My wife and I do it often. Start at the boat ramp Walk up the trail and go in at Devils Jump and end up back at the ramp or go further on down and walk back. There are also outfitters in the area that can take you up further if you want.
  • No disrespect taken. On the subject matter it is a nice place to go and enjoy

    The guy who runs the Reserve told me “Creek” is the “white man’s” name for the tribe but “Muskogee” is their name. I usually use the latter out of deference to them. I suppose there’s lots of variation within the tribe themselves. Perhaps it’s a generational thing.

    Doesn’t really matter. I didn’t intend any disrespect to you.

    Magnolia branch is on Poarch band of Creek Indians land. Nice campground and beautiful creek with a lot of water activities to do there.


    FYI: We call them Creek. They call themselves Muskogee. Same tribe.

  • Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground, Bryson City, NC. Been there 2x. Great!

    whoops....wrong state ...my bad:o
  • Hartford TN at exit 447 on I-40. This is more rafting and some rapids rather than a leisurely tubing trip but I have seen people tubing there. There are outfitters that supply a ride and equipment if needed. Couple good campgrounds there too.
