36mi from Summerville · 24 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
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 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.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Mulberry. We were only there for stop and go since we had plans in Ellijay but we are stoked to come back. The campsite is great with nice bathrooms with hot showers. The staff for us was the highlight. SUPER friendly and hard working folks. And if you’re going to stay here take advantage of the meals. The dining hall is so cool. Make sure you’re on time though! The staff wears a lot of hats and they are hard working.

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.

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!
