Boone Valley Campground offers a peaceful retreat with its remote and tranquil setting, ideal for campers who appreciate quiet surroundings. The host, Benjamin, is often praised for his friendliness and hospitality, making guests feel welcome. However, the facilities have received mixed reviews, with some visitors noting the need for improvements in the bathhouse and bathrooms, which may lack toilet paper and hot water at times. Despite these drawbacks, many campers enjoy the natural beauty and privacy the campsite provides.

This was a quiet, peaceful campground. Everyone was so friendly and I really enjoyed my stay there.

Boone Valley Primitive
This would be a great campsite, but it doesn't feel quite "finished". The bathhouse porch looked like it was still being built and had a dangerous drop off without a railing that I almost stumbled into because there was additionally no lighting. The bathrooms were missing toilet paper, hand dryer/paper towels, showers were not hit. One bathroom didn't have any mirrors put up and looked more like a storage room for cleaning supplies that looked like they have been used for a decade. The primitive campsites, however, were very good. Cozy in the woods. Most sites could fit only one to two tents and the cars have to backup into the sites, but I like being in the woods. Ultimately, there are several other campsites in the area I'd prefer over this one, but this one has potential.

The experience was not what I expected walking into it. The camping was a bit of a free for all feel with non dedicated sites in a very small field. Watch out for the bathrooms! They are in need of some major repairs but functional.

Outside of the trash in many of the firepits and the bathrooms that are in building that looks a little rickety, this is a nice, quiet campground that is very close to the popular climbing in the area. If your looking for a place away from the crowds this is a good spot

My family loved the campground, everything is well laid out and a lot of care has been taken with the structures and campsites. All sites are well spaced apart. The playground is really neat and bathroom facilities were very clean. There have been campers that haven't been respectful to the property so be careful of broken glass around some rv sites. Bring bug spray!

I absolutely enjoyed my stay here! Ben was a wonderful host and definitely exceeded my expectations. He was extremely kind and socialized with my mom and I quite a bit. The cabin was also super cute and comfy. The property in its entirety was incredible. So much hard work and ALL built by Ben himself. I would highly recommend this Boone Valley Campground to anyone passing through!

beware the bathhouse

Boone Valley Primitive
the location was great, and the bathrooms did indeed have hot water. the main host, Ben, seems like a generally good guy. However, his brother(?) allegedly displayed predatory behaviors towards a woman camping alone. Also, the "bathhouse" is quite poorly constructed, and seems like it's actively falling apart. it has exposed drywall right next to the showers and is definitely going to rot within the next 5 years. also, one of the toilets was clogged for the majority of a week-long visit so I had to buy a plunger and fix it myself. overall, I think it was a survivable experience, but I definitely would consider looking elsewhere in the future

Pictures made this place look cozy and fun. Description makes it sound like there is a decent bath house there. Map provided was inaccurate, could find help when we arrived to show us where we reserved. Place looks like it was great several years ago and has been let down. Several broken down RVs in RV park area. Only one bathroom and shower for entire place and it’s attached to some guys tiny house like place. Wasn’t very clean either, we found another place for the next night and didn’t go back

Quiet private campground

Boone Valley RV Site
Our group included a set of grandparents and a family of 4 with two toddlers. This was a private campground in a quiet area. Some campsites had electrical outlets that were not compatible with our setup, but we located ones that were. There was a play area for the kids with a bit of play equipment suitable for different age groups, and a horseshoe pit. The resident dogs were friendly and visited our sites each morning. The owner was friendly and helpful and made sure we were settled in and had what we needed. If you are looking for a quiet out-of-the-way campsite, not too many frills but all you need for a fun camping experience, as opposed to more modern, bustling camping experience, then this quaint campground is for you!

We needed a place to stay while in transit to Chattanooga. We enjoyed hiking around to see some arches and decided to stay at the Boone valley primitive campsite. We had a great time the bathrooms were nice would reccomened a bench and place to put cloths. But other than that it was great.
