The camp is kinda small to have 53 lots. And with the huge pine trees, getting in some of the lots can be tight. But there is plenty of shade to say the least. There is a wonderful view of the Tennessee River and the sun rises from across the river. They have gated access, a boat launch and swimming area.The they have full hook-ups, 30amp and 50amp. A bath house is available, but not sure if it's year round or not. So far the camp is pretty much quiet as a mouse.
The manager lives on-site and I think the maintenance guy does too. The manager is awesome, she is a cut up. When I called to get my lot she told me "cash, check, or money order, no chickens" lol. I didn't ask if the lot prices are all the same but my lot is $367.50 per month, which is MORE than reasonable all things considered. I thought that was an odd amount, but maybe thats another piece of humor.
I will try to update again and add some pics later.
Good camp ground if you like fishing boating and nature. Even animals such as squirrels, rabbits, and at times groundhogs even Willow flies or mayflies As their called. No need to relocate anything.
We love Cowford. This is our 4th year out here. It's calm and peaceful and being right here at the river is a plus. We love that there's woods all around and the wildlife is a welcome blessing. We love the little fat squirrels.
So, the campground is fine. What isn't is the issues with squirrels. I had one chew through my heated water hose. Was told by management that several people have had their propane lines chewed through by squirrels. I understand if you won't kill them being on federal property, but why not at least trap and move them? We can't afford to replace $200 hoses every time a squirrel feels destructive. You've been warned ⚠️
Beautiful camping area with amazing view of the Tennessee river , excellent place for fishing !
