The campground at Old Stone Fort State Historic Park was upgraded and re-opened in Fall 2020. Recent improvements include the construction of a bathhouse and electric improvements.
There are 50 campsites with water and electrical hookups, grills, picnic tables and hard-surface pads that can accommodate a unit up to 50 feet in length. A dump station is open year-round. One of the two restroom facilities includes showers. However, that building is not open during the off-season, so showers are not available in December, January, and February. Firewood can be purchased at the park. The stay limit is two weeks.
Campsites are heavily wooded with separation between the sites. Camping is equally popular by both RV’s and tents/pop-ups. While the campground has a remote feel, it is actually within 10 minutes of a variety of restaurants. Also, a Manchester public pool is within one mile of the campground.
Located on US 41 immediately north of Manchester, T N. Exit 110 on I-24 is within 1 mile o f th e e ntra n c e by w ay o f H wy 5 3 to U S 41. Manchester is approximately one hour from both Nashville and Chattanooga.

What a lovely little gem! We stopped briefly in Manchester TN and spent an afternoon wandering around town… this park had a beautiful trail overlooking waterfalls and nestled under some beautiful trees. Take the time to take the walk! It was not hard at all and the reward was all the gorgeous scenery!
This is a very nice place with wonderful scenery and history. It's a pretty easy hike if you're staying on the trail. There are many waterfalls where you can walk to and the water is shallow enough to go walk around and explore the different creek areas. I especially enjoyed that there were water plants. It makes the scenery very unique and makes the water nice and shiny. I would recommend this to any one loves to go on hikes and explore waterfalls. There are also ample amount of parking spaces and a great picnic area too.
A beautiful hike in an area with a lot of history. There are natural trails and desire paths leading to everything one could possibly want to see. If you're new to hiking, beware websites and apps claiming this is a beginner trail.
While it's not dangerous or difficult, this is not a flat walk through the forest - you'll find yourself doing a bit of climbing if you deviate from the main path, and even if you follow it the area is very rocky and full of old root growth. At least bring shoes you can keep your balance in, so you don't take a tumble when going down to the river!
Beautiful water falls all on a 1.5 mile trail! The trail has quite a few roots and rocks, but it was not too difficult. The park staff members we spoke to were very friendly and helpful. There is a little museum that shares about the history of the indigenous groups that lived in the area.
One of the best historical hikes I've been to. They even have a museum and a gift shop. A lot of waterfalls to explore if you do a loop trail. Definitely a moderate hike with plenty of parking. Rocky in some area.
