The best camping in Big Cypress Tree State Park, TN guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Big Cypress Tree State Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. Traverse the winding trails, immerse yourself in the lush greenery, and keep your eyes peeled for the diverse wildlife that calls this park home. While the park beckons hikers and bird watchers, it also offers serene picnic spots for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature's embrace.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Big Cypress Tree State Park is during the cooler months, from late fall to early spring, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. Summer brings heat and humidity, which can be challenging for some visitors, making it the least favorable time for a trip.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, before planning your visit.
  • Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions due to weather or conservation efforts.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the park's diverse terrain.
  • Bring along water and snacks, as facilities may be limited within the park.
  • Respect the natural habitat by observing wildlife from a distance and not leaving trash behind.
