Pickett CCC Memorial State Park, Jamestown, TN

This spring we are thinking about camping there. We have a 36 foot fifth wheel. Looks like only one site that is listed as 30 foot, all the others are smaller.

Has anyone camped there? Will we fit since many campsites are measured to the "curb stop" and we can hang over in the back?

    Most of the sites are small. It is an older park. I would just call the park and ask. I have been there twice but never noticed the bigger sites much.

    If there's nothing there to fit, go up to Big South Fork. It's a Federal Recreation area, and it will be half price. Bandy Creek campground is very nice. Four of the loops have little loops at the back with really big sites.

    Havent ever camped at Pickett, but i agree with coolmom42 on the Big South Fork as an alternative. Several CGs there and i have found the rangers to be exceptionally friendly.
