Unicoi State Park campground
Unicoi State Park
The campground includes 82 campsites, all with water and electric hookups, as well as restrooms and hot showers. Camping is available on a first-come-first-serve basis, but reservations can also be made in advance. There are also several hiking trails in the area, including a trail to the top of nearby Mount Yonah.
An interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to a thriving gold mining industry in the late 1800s, with several mines operating in the surrounding hills. Visitors can still see evidence of this history, including old mine shafts and equipment.
