Nice clean gravel sites with fire pit and picnic table seating. There's also a little enclosed dog park, which was great for us and our pups. Staff are friendly and helpful. You're within walking distance to the Crystal Palace (or Raccoon Mountain Caverns) and I would 100% recommend doing a tour.

I had a quiet few nights at raccoon mountain, went on a lovely tour of the caverns (fantastic guide for a solo tour on a slow Monday) and took advantage of the bark park for my pups. It was very cold when I was there and they did have a pipe bursting incident. But we're very communicative and everything was back up and running quickly. All of the staff were super helpful and accommodating, even when I forgot my sweater after checkout in one of the bathrooms and they kept it safe for me while I returned for it. Would definitely return!

It was super easy to book a spot last minute while on the road from Michigan to Florida. We stayed in our Jeep here. They responded quickly to our messages. The only negative for me is that the spots aren’t marked clearly. We came in after dark and weren’t sure where the spots were. The trains were close, but didn’t really phase us. The dog is super friendly. We would stay here again.

It was perfect for my traveling needs. I spent majority of my time during the day hiking in GA/TN so it’s perfect to return to in the late afternoon to relax. The Bath House was very clean and the dogs that roam the property are very friendly. The trains were a bit loud and busy during the night, but it is manageable to sleep through if you’re good at tuning it out. Overall, it’s great for a place to set up camp for the night and wake up early to continue a drive or to hit the trails.

Wow, just wow. This beautiful camp was exactly what my soul needed. Imagine...awaking to glistening rays of sunshine filtering through the trees to touch the morning moisture on the grass. The canopies of trees provide abundant shade for your campsite, and the little woodland critters that come out to play chase around the tree trunks. Evening shadows bring a peaceful feeling as the crickets sing their choruses. Evening becomes night with minimal light invasion to set the stage for star filled skies. The campsites are dotted spaciously throughout the campground, allowing a not-often-found level of quiet for all campers. My visit to the area was quite stressful and this amazing gem of gated natural surroundings, nestled in the Tennessee foothills was exactly the cure. Soul restoring at its best, thank you Thomas! I look forward to visiting again with time to take in more of the historical side of this area. I highly reccomend Running Water Creek Campground to all tent campers, small camp trailers and folks who would enjoy an inviting A-Frame cabin nestled in the trees. The delightful added bonus was visiting with the adorable, friendly hounds. Definitely brought a smile to see them for a wee moment each day.

Running Water Creek Campground is an absolute hidden gem and a must-visit for any nature lover! The location is stunning, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding mountains that provide a perfect backdrop for every sunrise and campfire. Beyond the natural beauty, the atmosphere here feels wonderfully secure. The sites are well-maintained, and the friendly staff and the sense of community create a truly safe and welcoming environment. We felt completely at ease throughout our entire stay and can’t wait to return to this peaceful mountain retreat. Highly recommended!

Raccoon Mountain is up a gently-winding hill above a lovely golf-course community. The campground is well-maintained. Some shady, some sunny sites. We had a shady spot near the camp office & were very happy there! While feeling far away from city life, it is
just a few miles from Chattanooga with so much to do. Great place for dogs & children.
