What a great stay! It was peaceful, not crowded...the weather was beautiful and temperate. Never had to turn on the air conditioning. Everything was neat and clean. Hosts were great and on top of everything.no issues with electric. This was a very enjoyable visit. I return in a month!

We had a great site and the weather was perfect. It was one of the somewhat secluded sites and very peaceful.

Lovely area and clean, well kept park! Only complaint is the firewood we bought at camp store. Very green and unburnable. We went into town and got some dry the next day and was able to get going. We woke up our first morning to the smell of lighter fluid! Our neighbor was going that route to get this wood to burn. Nobody on our loop had much success. Its a pet peeve for me. If you want campers to not bring wood (we dont), it seems fair to offer burnable wood at a fair price.

We had a lovely time at Indian Boundary. Site 17 was nice. However, we made the mistake of not completely reading all the information about this campground. While there was an electric hookup, there was not a water hookup at the site. Fill your tank first! The site had easy, close access to the lake which was perfect for launching our paddle boards. There is a hiking/biking trail that loops the entire lake which was amazing! The sites were large, but there is a main trail entrance next to site 17. We weren't bothered by that, but if your wanting more privacy look at other sites. The driveway has a turn in it, so backing the camper in was a little different, but I had no issues. It was fairly level as well. The campground is beautiful! The lake was calm and peaceful making it perfect for paddle boarding or kayaking. The beach and recreation area is well maintained. The camp store was stocked nicely, and a blessing to have when we ran out of toilet paper. The shower houses could use some updating, but were clean. There is no cell service. We did hookup our Starlink for emergency calls which worked most of the time. During our stay there were a lot of biting flies which made it a little less enjoyable, but overall it was a good experience. I'm planning on returning next year.

We really enjoyed our time here, taking advantage of kayaking on the lake, floating at the beach, riding the trails and visiting the waterfalls nearby. We will definitely be back!

What a gem of a campground! We enjoyed the beautiful lake with rented kayaks from the on-site general store, sat on the huge sandy beach, and visited bald falls. Tellico Plains is a cute little town and the visitor center is really nice. Our only regret is not driving the entire length of the Cherohala Skyway or hiking around the lake.
@JoeW8718686 · Camped on Aug 5, 2025 at Campsite #24
Loved the trail around the lake, the kayaking, and the camping.
@JaneF1465336 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #62
I love Indian Boundary Campground. Large campsites, campstore with friendly workers, kids can ride bicycles, and a great lake for swimming or fishing.
@WilliamB132333 · Camped on Jul 29, 2025 at Campsite #77
Very nice campground. Camp store was a big plus. Well stocked and nice employees. Hiking trail around lake is nice and well maintained. No sewer or water connections at sites but thats well advertised. Also no cell service.
@DebbieH2027684 · Camped on Jul 18, 2025 at Campsite #37
We have been going to Indian Boundary for over 20 years we absolutely love it! The little general store, the beach, all the kids ride their bikes around you feel safe. It has a 3 mile walking/ bike trail around the whole lake. Its just been here. The only side note and sorta disappoint is no cell service. It can be good or bad. We dont mind it! If you have an email or need to call home you can use the stores phone or drive up the mountain a short ways for services. We never want to leave!

Nice clean site, restrooms were also very clean.

All the years we have been going to Indian Boundary, we had never seen a bear, until this year. Only for a couple of seconds but we still saw it!Love Indian Boundary, but we would like to be able to hang hammocks back in the trees again.
@RobertR8191303 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #58
Lots of space between sites. Had a very enjoyable stay. Plenty to do in the area if you like to take day trips.
@JanetM5224563 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #64
We go every year for our annual week vacation and love it ! Once youve stayed you will not want to go anywhere else! The sites are large and its so peaceful!
@JackieH2332334 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #46
Well stocked store. Glad to see it. Campground was quiet for the most and the bathrooms were well stocked and clean.
@JohnK6536193 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #41
The campground is absolutely beautiful as is the beach and lake. the bathrooms and showers were cleaned throughout the day everyday. The sites were clean and level, they had a nice fire ring and big picnic table. the campground waqs full the week we stayed however it did not seem like there was anyone around unless you wanted to notice them. sites are private and quiet. I will be back again next year.
@JANISJA7BBFC5B · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #48
Beautiful forest covered walking and biking trails. It is a well maintained property.
@BarbaraM393111 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #41
Great overall.
@CindyH1403151 · Camped on Jun 23, 2025 at Campsite #42
Great campground. I enjoyed kayaking on the lake. My grandsons loved riding around on their bicycles. Big, shady sites.Verizon has no cell service, which was kinda nice to get away from the distraction of the phone.
@DonaldS2271497 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #20
Great hosts who keep the facilities clean and orderly. Great family atmosphere. Only complaint on our last trip (June) was how fast children and teens were riding electric bikes through the campground. Since there are lots of small children and seniors, this could pose risk for severe injury.
@JimM4750562 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #57
Quiet, Beautiful campground on the Cherahola Skyway. We really enjoyed our stay at Indian Boundary Campground the facilities are nice and the campground hosts are very helpful and friendly. We will be staying here whenever we pass through the area.

I love this campground. I have camped there for years so its hard to write a bad review but its only one thing actually but its huge. The campground has a drainage issue that with any basic rain shower turns the campsite into a mud hole. Its 80% of the sites that are affected. I camp over 15 times a year there and for the last three years its an issue. There is no gravel left in the sites so the water just runs from site to site and takes hours to soak in. Every site needs multiple loads of crush and run gravel and the drainage ditches needs looked into for blockages. If the sites had a good rock base then possibly the run off would not be so bad. I have a camper but for people with tents forget it if it rains as the tent from the bottom will get filled with water. Lastly 50% of the fire pits are rusted out past saving so they need replaced and the wood boarders for the sites are rotted out or broken which also causing water run off issues. I love this place and the camp host there are the best in the business. Its a Federal upkeep issue thats been neglected. Its years past time to spend money on rock, drainage study and basic site maintenance. Its a full three years past time!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
