Beautiful drive up to the park. We camped in Loop A for three nights pretty much had the campground to ourselves. Not a lot of other mid-week campers this late in the year. Thoroughly enjoyed the trails around the lake and to Benton Falls. The facilities were fine. The campsites are large and spread out. The only downside is they don't have water but we filled our tank when we arrived at the campground and were fine. Will definitely be back.

We have stayed at several campgrounds this season and Chilhowee is by far our favorite. Beautiful area. Clean showers and bathrooms. A big bonus is the LoopA camp host. They have been awesome in answering questions and just being a friendly face. We will definitely be staying again.

We throughly enjoyed our stay .it was great weather lots of wildlife if you know where to look .things i dont like the ocoee district is not managed as well or kept as well as the the tellico district never have understood that its all cherokee national forest .to much emphasis is put on the ocoee river and its rafting always has and im sure always will .now that that the whitewater center has burnt which the fisherman had to anity up for by way of having to pay to park on the side of the road just to fish i would say they tryin to figure out how to get all the people that hike fish or use the cherokee forest for any reason other than rafting to flip the bill again to pay to rebuild it .all said camp ground was great bathrooms could be cleaner .host was great .only concern was we seen people coming to campground to use the showers that were not campers and not necessarily the kind of people you would want to turn your back on i guess not leave anything loose that could be stold i dont think they need to be in there

Beautiful and secluded campground with spectacular views. We stayed in loop A. The only issue we had was the camp hosts dog barked constantly.

I get it. The campground host position does not pay anything other then a free site and full hook-ups, and you cannot expect these folks to kill themselves for that. But man, I am glad having an RV, I do not have to rely on the restroom and shower facilities. The few times I went in the restroom I seen it was in serious need of a deep cleaning, or any cleaning for that matter. My wife and I love Chilhowee campground but would love to see some of the potholes repaired on the road up there, I lost a strut a couple of summers ago hitting one. Maybe a complete repaving?

Great experience! Went on a great hike to some of the lookouts as well as the waterfall. Absolutely gorgeous in the fall. The campground was very clean. We will definitely be going back. The lookout at sunset is stunning.

we loved our stay at the campground, although it was a bit confusing at first. you do not check in, you just find your spot and pull in. the bathrooms are not heated and the water in the shower is a bit misleading. It was very cold but you have to keep pushing the "button" to obtain the hot water. colors were gorgeous, very quite camp ground, the hike to Benton Falls states easy and for the most part it is, unless you want to go into the "canyon", it is slick and the handrails are questionable. the park rangers in the area are very nice and the park staff was helpful, we had a sinkhole open up and it was fixed the very next day.

Great hiking trails. The hike to the falls is beautiful. The bathrooms was ok just needed some warmth. Water was barely warm. Nice campground.
