Great campsite! Clean and well maintained and the general store is awesome!

Great weather, a good campsite with a view of the lake, fun swimming in the lake and hiking the trail around the lake all combined to make it a very good camping experience at Indian Boundary.

Our first time to this area and campground. We stayed at 016, Loop A. Great location, next to the lake (lake trail and viewing area), short walk to the general store, and just far enough away from the bathroom/shower that you didnt have foot traffic at all hours. Very quiet campground, friendly campers, and gorgeous lake. Centrally located to good restaurants, hiking trails, etc.

Great location. well cared for. All of the staff were great. We were there when the storm hit that washed out the road behind us in Tellico Plains. Everyone was and helped plan how to get back to Knoxville.

All areas are very well maintained. The Host was very helpful. Beautiful lake and the trail around it was wonderful.
The Cherohala Parkway has many
trails, favorites are Huckleberry Knob,Hooper's Bald. MUST see Bald River Falls .

This campsite has been on my bucketlist for awhile now, so I jumped at the opportunity to stay there. It was absolutely gorgeous, clean bathrooms, and reasonably priced items at the camp store. The reason for such a low rating was their firewood and hammock policy. The rules say no hammocks outside of your reserved area— which is fine since there are woods and hiking trails. But this also means not even right beside your reserved area (within 2 feet). The actual fabric of the hammock has to be inside the plot. We hung three up right beside our setup to dry out after an impromptu rainstorm and almost got three $85 tickets. And even though we kept it in the car, the firewood we purchased on site (in order to follow the rules) did nothing but smoke. In addition, we all brought our own paddleboards and were harassed for not having a life jacket on our “personal watercraft”. Oh and the 2 o’clock check in/ check out rule? It wasn’t enforced. We had the next day campers show up and kick us out about 2.5 hours before our time was up. Maybe if the hosts weren’t so busy being the hammock police they would enforce some of the other underlined and bolded rules on their sheet.
In my opinion, the rules that are currently in place cater towards the boomer and retired generation to try and keep people out. The 50+ crowd gives the younger generation so much grief about being on our smart phones; yet when we try to go outside and get away, we are met with restrictive, outdated policies and individuals who talk down to us. I won’t be returning to camp here, but encourage you to try it out if you enjoy vague rules that can change at any moment based on the hosts’ feelings.

Indian Boundary is our new favorite place! Been there twice and going back again later on in July. The lake is just beautiful, full of fish to catch & release, the beach is spotless, the trails are easy and relaxing, the whole thing is a great experience. We were in A16 last time next to the water. One drawback there (and the only one) is the main path between our site and the one next to us. It’s a main thoroughfare to the lakes “pier” and 3.2 mile trail. Oh one other drawback, the only firewood you can buy there is greens so plan on buying off site (but close by in town). Please don’t bring your own.

Great campground in a lovely setting! Bathhouses were great and the camp store was fantastic. Will definitely visit again!
