Very quiet and scenic. I will be back if I can talk my wife into it. Creek was dry, but did not detract from a good stay.

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.

This was our second time at Grant and Becky’s. This time we stayed at the back country site. The view was wonderful and the site had plenty of room. We really enjoyed our time at this property.

This is a beautiful site and it is nice and quiet. We used it as a stop over on a trip to LA and will use it again in a week or so. The trains are a little loud but I slept through them.

Cute place. A little loud at night with the trains going through however, my kids slipped through it just fine.

We stayed at the primitive site. It was a great space for our two children and two dogs to explore. Even with another group in the area it was enough space to roam!

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.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns has easy access from I-24 and is situated in a quiet valley with a stunning view of Lookout Mountain. Check-in was quick and the facilities were neat and clean. The RV sites are well-maintained and spacious. Will definitely visit again!

Very comfortable. Only negative is the amount of street lights that dampen the fireside mood. However, it makes for a safe environment and staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will stay again. Thank you!

We had an amazing time at Thomas’ land! It was so private and secluded we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Directions were clear and easy to follow. We highly recommend this place to those wanting to go off the grid for a night or 2

We had a great stay for the night at Running Water Campground. There was almost no one around, so it felt very private and cozy! There are several areas around the property for tent camping, some of them you need 4WD to access - but definitely more private. We stayed at the bottom near the bath house since there was a good set up there already. The sinks came in handy for washing our dishes too!
We didn't really mind the trains, but you can hear them. If you are a light sleeper or have kids, maybe not the best spot for you. Everyone leaving bad reviews because of the trains - not cool! Thomas is very up front about it, and good luck finding a better spot in the area. We looked for over an hour for a good campground before we found this gem. Thomas was an excellent host! The dogs were friendly and Thomas even made sure to stop by and thank us for our stay. This is one of my favorite places that I've camped! The view of the stars is so lovely. Highly recommend!
