Camp Carroll

1 site · Tent72 acres · Huntingdon , TN

Proposed Carroll County Recreational Opportunity I would like to introduce the citizens of Carroll County and all interested parties to a proposed startup tent only campground on 72 acres adjacent to Mustang Cove at the new lake. I propose to offer a rustic or primitive tent camping experience and hope to enjoin the collaboration of the Caroll County 1,000 Acre Recreational Lake to provide kayak and canoe access to the adjacent shallow and shady shoreline. I solicit input and interest from local churches, scouts, 4H, and others and request your assistance and support. The Camp Carroll project is intended to provide a low impact environmentally and family friendly outdoor recreation experience for local residents and other interested parties; this includes but is not limited to the following: day use (CC Lake and general site), overnight tent and future small TT camping, canoe and kayak on 13 acres site ponds and CC Lake. The Project will allow local users the opportunity to camp/kayak (or learn) locally with convenient access to home or town markets. Churches, Boy/Girl Scouts, 4H and other users will have an additional local nature - based outdoor recreational opportunity available. Local is also extremely important convenience for the handicapped or other limited access populations. I will be happy to share updates, phoroscope and additional jnformation.Learn more about this land:62 acres south of Mustang cove mostly cleared. with 3 and 10 acre ponds. 12 acres north of cove partially cleared with mixed hardwood and pine woodlands. Habitat to deer, turkey, quail, beaver, otter, etc. I spent 2016 attending monthly planning and zoning commission meetings as they developed tent only campground regulations requiring 6 inches of gravel base with 2 inches of asphalt to every campsite and a restroom within 150 feet of every campsite. Needless to say, this regulation is not only cost prohibitive but in my opinion, also promulgates unsustainable erosion and habitat degradation. Plan B envisions development as a daycamp operation with picnic pavillions, bbq pits, volleyball, horseshoes, frisbee golf, etc with canoe, kayak and peddle boat access to ponds and the shallow end of the 1,000 acre lake. Plan C would be just build a multipurpose residence shareable with family and friends. Pland D involves the services of a good realtor. Anyone interested in sharing this experience is welcome to contact me to discuss. Let's do this!1 tent only allowed.
