david crockett campground

Been there. Great park, enjoy yourself.

I live 5 minutes away. We go often for short weekend trips. If you want pics of anything let me know and I'll get them.

We were there several years ago after making the Natchez Trace. Enjoyed the park. Have fun!!!

In the "just in good humor" department.

Several years ago, we planned a trip from East Texas through Tennessee from West to East, every night depending on the total itinerary. On a Sunday afternoon we pulled into Davy Crockett Park where the entry was wide-open with no attendant on duty. As we drove on into the campground we were met by the occupant of a single RV that we could see with this call, "Sorry, the campground is closed. The Governor and the legislature are in a struggle over funds and all state parks are now closed on week-ends."

When we got home, I wrote a nice letter to the Governor of Tennessee including a reference to how much Davy Crockett meant to the independence of Texas in 1836. I guess he did not appreciate my good humored message. I never got a reply--and therefore missed the one opportunity I have had so far to stay in Davy Crockett.

back home from david crockett park, great time , great park, only complaint was the site was a little hard to level camper on but not un-doable. you are apt to have that anywhere. will definetly return again sometime.
