About
Houston Valley Recreation Area is a small, peaceful campground nestled along the edge of a hardwood forest in Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest. At 1,800 feet elevation directly off TN Scenic Highway 107, the campground offers eight widely-spaced sites that provide privacy and a quiet camping experience. The fall foliage along this scenic highway is particularly spectacular. The area is centrally located between Paint Creek and Weaver Bend, making it an excellent base for fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. The Gum Springs Trail connects to the recently renovated Meadow Creek fire tower lookout platform. Nearby Burnette Gap Trailhead and Bubbling Springs Rifle Range offer additional recreation options. A scenic drive along Brush Creek Road leads to Weaver Bend and Allen Branch Pond, which has an accessible 0.2-mile trail. Facilities include flush toilets, picnic tables, grills, and a reservable pavilion with a grassy volleyball court. Note that potable water has not been available since the 2019 season. Campers should bring their own drinking water.
