Find a campsite ↗Choose the campsite that fits your trip
Fall Creek Falls has more than one way to camp. The main campground is the straightforward choice for an RV or a tent when you want vehicle access and established facilities. Its areas A through E have water and electric service; some sites add sewer connections. Pad lengths and layouts vary, so choose by the details of the individual site, not a general description of the campground.
For a simpler tent stay, look at the three drive-up primitive sites in Area C. The park also has nine walk-in primitive sites set back from their parking area. Those walk-in sites have no water or electric hookups, and the park says to reserve them by phone.
Backcountry requires a different plan
Old Corner has four hike-in sites reached from the Link Trail, about 1.3 miles from its trailhead. Piney has four sites reached by the Piney Mountain Bike Trail, about three miles from its trailhead. The park lists water spigots and outhouses at both areas, but recommends filtering the water. These are not drive-up campsites; call the park to arrange a reservation and confirm access before packing.
Current rules and booking details
- Check the current Tennessee State Parks camping guide for open areas and rules.
- Use the official booking system to confirm the exact site’s length, hookups, occupancy, price and availability.
- For walk-in and backcountry sites, call the park before you travel; the park lists phone-only reservations for those options.
- Keep untreated firewood out of the park. The park asks campers to use heat-treated wood or downed wood collected inside the park near the campsite.
The park currently limits a site to six people and one camping unit plus one tent. If your group or setup is larger, reserve accordingly rather than counting on an exception at arrival. When you already have a reservation and know your site, the park says you may go directly there; stop at the visitor center if you need directions or reservation help.
