Be advised that most tent sites have a tent pad but a few are primitive.   The RV sites are not typical with limited hook-ups and no dump station.  Restroom and shower facilities are located within the park.  Forest setting while still close to stores in case of forgotten items but the gift shop is stocked with camping supplies, as well. Variety of small wildlife in the area. All sites allow campfires UNLESS we are under a county wide burn ban.

Lionheart creek camp @Sugarloaf mtn

Learn more about this land:Gorgeous creek forest camp @ the top of a hill spanning 30acres of mixed forest w/ trails near beautiful Sugarloaf mountain! 

Bring your pets, hiking boots, telescopes, scooters, go-karts, atvs, mountain bikes, etc. Pan for gold at the creek! We haven't struck yet, but you might! Climb trees with gusto -- many huge oaks here that I climbed as a child, following my cats, and then realizing they were better at tree-climbing than I was. 

Lots of cool campfire sites in this heavily forested area. Enough open space to see the starry expanse of the firmament w/ hardly any light pollution. 

Near local lakes, rivers, and gorgeous Talimena Drive only 30 mins away.
