The campground opened Saturday and remains available through Nov. 13.

Look Rock Campground and Picnic Area were closed in 2013 after the water utility systems failed. The picnic area reopened with limited services after the park received funds in 2019 to install an accessible vault toilet.

The water system has now been completely replaced, with access to flush toilets and potable water. Campground sites were rehabilitated. Ten sites were renovated to accommodate larger recreational vehicles and offer the first electric and water hookups in a park campground, the park said.

The park received $4.7 million for the work from campground fees, donations and federal funds.

The campground is located along the Foothills Parkway between Walland, Tennessee, and Chilhowee Lake.

Campground reservations must be made through Recreation.Gov.
