Land Between the Lakes

Has anyone been here in later half of march? Is the weather too cold to enjoy the area that time of year? Our son and his family is on spring break and trying to find a nice campground somewhere with hiking and nice playground. Our grand babies are 5 & 3 so have to have things to keep them busy!! LOl Wanted to meet them in Panhandle of florida or southern Alabama but cant find anything with such short notice. Any suggestions are very appreciated. Thanks :)

    I'm there every year at the end of March. Nice family place. Plenty to do, but plenty of solitude too.

    Weather can vary from 40s to 80s. Usually jacket weather which isn't necessarily bad as that means no bugs. I've been there every March since 2001, and most years in a tent. Did have an electric heater for nights though.

    Ticks were a problem in that area a few years ago. (for you hikers) We just don't stop there any more.

    As has been said, weather could be anything. While sites on water are very pretty they are also cooler that time of year. Wind blowing off the water can be cold and uncomfortable. Sites away from wind are much warmer.

    We camped in LBL first week of April last year. Temps ranged from 20's to 70's during the week with snow and frozen water on Saturday morning as we packed up to head home. Piney (TN) and Hillman (KY) have lots of activities for kids and adults. If you choose the North end of LBL, Grand Rivers is a nice little town with plenty of shopping and the best pork chop I have ever tasted.

    Be a while before they have pork chops again. Patti’s burned.
