Cool spot to go swimming or picnicking. Appears to be a nice spot to camp but we only day visited so I can speak on that. We visited in the middle of week so there were only campers and no one in the swimming area. I can imagine it probably gets crowded more on weekends but for 2 bucks day use this is a good deal. Also there is a range (free with day 2 dollar day use fee) right down the road but unfortunately I did not get to use it. South Holston Lake is beautiful and I would love to come back and camp here.
