This summer for our big trip we went to Fall Creek Falls state park in E. Tn. It's about a 7 hr drive from Memphis, it's about an hr N. of Chatanooga Tn and an hr South of Cookville, Tn. It's in the middle of nowhere. The park is massive with several cg's, miles of hiking, and beautiful waterfalls.
I can't remember the exact cg we stayed at, but it didn't have sewer hookups. It had water and electric and a dump station.
It's not been my most favorite place to visit,honestly, but the prettiest. If you like hiking it would be up your alley, but I don't like to hike.
The cg was clean, but crowded and sites close together. The bath house was clean.
There's just not much to do but hike. If you want entertainment then take it with you. The closest Walmart is about 30 -45 mins away from the park, so take everything with you. Our tradition is to stop at the nearest WM to stock up on perishable supplies before getting to our final destination. I don't like hauling eggs and milk for hours and worry about keeping it cold on the drive from home.
We were there the last week of June into the first week of July. It rained 3 days, but the temps were nice esp for TN in summer. I think it would be better in the fall when you could see more of the terrain.
Will we go back? Yes, but not any time soon. Everyone we know has been there and raved about how great it was. To us, it wasn't. We went with my sister {from KY}. The trip was hard on the 4 adults, but the 7 kids had fun.
