Very dissapointed in Raccoon Mtn. Campground, Chattanooga!
I made a reservation about 2 months in advance of our trip this past weekend. When we got to the campground, they had us on lot 89. "It's one of the new spots and a good lot", says the guy at the desk. Ha!
It was pitiful! The lot was very uneven. It had no concrete pad, which isn't a bad thing in some campgrounds. The sewer hookup was higher than the outlet on our 5er (and we all know what doesn't flow uphill). The back of the lot, which was about 4' from the back of our camper, was garnished with a wall and bed of poison ivy. The rest of the lot, where there was a little grass, had not been cut or maintained in a while so the grass (weeds) was about 8" high. The rest of the lot consisted of dead grass (weed) or just dirt. There came a slight rain the day before we left, and the place was a big mud puddle. The truck and camper was muddy by the time we got out of the lot.
I'll be finding another place to reserve in the future. I wish I had thought to take pictures of the spot while we were there.
Again, very disappointing as a destination facility. We stayed there about 10 years ago, but only as a place to park for an overnight rest on a trip.
Before you say "why didn't you leave?". This was a Memorial Day weekend, and we wouldn't have had any other place to park, with exception of Walmart parking lot, which might not have been a bad choice.
