General Campground Rules

Campground rules are provided to campers upon check-in. RRM, Inc., in a partnership agreement with TVA, provide these facilities for your convenience and enjoyment. The successful operation of this area depends on your cooperation and compliance of the following:

• Camping is on a reservation system. If you do not have a reservation please see a host before choosing a site.

• Unattended camping vehicles and equipment cannot be left at a site unless fees are paid. Rented campsites must have a camping unit present to show the site is taken.

• ADA accessible sites are reserved for persons with a state-issued ADA license plate or mirror tag. The person who has been issued the tag must be occupying the site and may only rent 1 campsite per visit.

• Campers with an America the Beautiful card discount may only rent 1 campsite per visit. 

• No more than 2 camping units are allowed per site, with only 1 unit being a wheeled or mobile camping unit. For campers under the age of 18, a tent (small or medium) is allowed for immediate family living in the same household.

• Camping is permitted at designated (numbered) sites only. A maximum of 8 people are allowed per campsite including visitors. Designated non-profit groups, such as scout troops or church groups, will be allowed some exemptions.
