CG's in the park will not have showers, and most don't have electricity. Fontana Dam has showers and is known as "The Hilton" to AT trail hikers. For car camping, just stay at one of the many private owned CG's or a State Park.

Also, check out DeSoto State Park and the Chattanooga area state parks. Similar scenery with a 4 hour shorter drive. Little River Canyon in DeSoto is absolutely beautiful.

I agree about little river canyon. It's a nice area. We've camped there before, and I've hunted on the WMA there some.


And, I appreciate all the responses, but while we were trying to decide on this, we changed our minds. We're going down to St. George Island to camp. We tried to go last year but a tropical storm changed our plans. Gonna try again this year.
