Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

It's a beautiful spot, but also very close to the highway and a train line. I'm accustomed to the noise as a city-dweller and had no problem getting a good night's sleep, but the noise might be an issue for those from the suburbs or rural areas. Maybe bring earplugs.

Cool spot but for the train

This is site was good because it was very private feeling and we pretty much had the entire place to ourselves. The bathhouse had plenty of hot water for showers. There was some traffic noise from the highway which was livable but the train… the train practically drives through the campground and b/c there is an intersection nearby it honks the horn every time it comes through. This was at least every hour or so for us. Made for a rough night. Otherwise great spot.

Entry is not safe for a cruiser motorcycle, big incline with gravel. I chose not to stay when i saw this.
