Summary
Camping is free and first-come, first-served; no reservations or permits required. Amenities are minimal: no toilets, water, fire rings, or picnic tables, so come fully prepared. RVs can access the area, but it's best suited to tent campers or small rigs. Located along the Tennessee River near Saltillo, the park features scenic riverside views and a peaceful, rustic vibe. Fishing, paddling, and nearby hiking trails enhance the experience. Spring and fall are ideal for mild weather and fewer bugs. It’s perfect for solitude seekers and self-sufficient campers.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
