Places to camp on Lake Nickajack above Chattanooga Tn.

Just saw this beautiful lake on 24 south. Saw a campground over to the left on the lake. Don't know the name or if there are other places.
  • IF THE water taste good its probably well water...and now-a-days...will probably kill ya.
  • I believe you saw Marion County Park. It is what you see just north of I-24. Entrance is on US-41. Which crosses the river just north of I-24.
  • I stayed at the little motel there on the lake years ago. If the campground has the same water supply, fill-up everything you have with water. That was some of the best tasting water I have ever experienced.
  • Shellmound is a TVA campground, Marion County park is the one you see from the Interstate and Hales Bar Marina and campground is really close
