Something not right?

Description

Lakeside camping. Establed firepits and campsites from April 1 - Oct 31. Can camp for 14 days. Crystals can be found by the lake when drained. Do a little research for it to find out. They look like little glass pieces but upon inspection they are quartz points.

They got the trash cleared out it looks way better than it did when I was here last year. BUT, I spoke with a TVA worker this morning. He said they just hauled all the trash out a little bit ago but people still keep trashing the place and trying to exceed the 14 day stay limit. So, this site will be closing in the morning. I'm sorry to lose this area. I had a gorgeous view last night.

Stayed across the street from the marked location, got a lakeside spot, fire pit, quiet with decently clean portapotty

The campground I stayed at is across the street from these coordinates, both are TVA campgrounds. Quite a few stone fire pits, both drive in sites and some right on the lake for tents. Two porta-potties that are clean and stocked with toilet paper. Quiet, but sites are close together, so not much solitude.
Easy access for all vehicle types. The lake is very low, but still a beautiful spot for a few nights. There is a ton of broken glass around campsite and the lake so be aware of that! Full service with T-Mobile.

Campground open 4/1 - 10/31, max 14 days. I did see a cop drive through and it looked like he may have been taking note of vehicles to enforce the 14 day max.

looks like it would have been a nice place to camp. arrived on a Friday around 3 or 4pm and only one of the gates were open. there are two. one on either side of road 92. the one that was open was full. we parked on the side of the road and walked into the gated spot and there were a few tents set up. not sure where they parked their cars before walking into the sites. sign says camping is permitted April 1st thru October 31st but we weren't sure if parking our van at the gate would have been ok or not so we didn't stay. the sites didnt look trashed or anything like some of the other reviews said.

Gross Campground. Trash everywhere. permanent trash balls living here. TVA needs to clean this place up. Literally had a guy in a pickup park where he could see us and just sat in his truck staring at us.

Report Check-In

Trash and graffiti everywhere. We do a ton of free camping and this place was simply gross. Plus most the spots were full with people who are obviously living there. It's extremely sad that TVA doesn't manage it better and that people can't take the trash they bring.

Report Check-In

Place is packed on the weekend and lots of people look like they are moving in. We had to find somewhere else to go.

Update: We ended up finding a parking spot in the TVA across the street. We got the sense a guy camped there was trying to run us off by lying about calling the cops on another group of campers that day, saying they attacked him, but then he was living amongst a ton of gear/supplies they "supposedly" left behind. He then proceeded to have no less than 10 cars come to his campsite at all hours of the night. Shady AF. We just stayed the night in the van and left early.
