Station Camp Campground

About

Station Camp Campground is situated on the Tennessee side of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, approximately 4.5 miles from the intersection of Coopertown Road and Leatherwood Road. This horse-friendly campground contains 24 developed sites, each equipped with water and electric hookups, picnic tables, grills, and tie-outs for up to four horses per site. The campground features modern restroom facilities with hot showers and a dump station for RV campers. Site 7 is ADA accessible and conveniently located across from the bathhouse. The campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the extensive trail system that snakes through Big South Fork's 125,000 acres of rugged terrain. Just down the road, Station Camp River Access provides a crossing point where horseback riders can ford the river to access numerous trails on the opposite bank. The area offers opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding through rocky gorges and forested plateaus. The Big South Fork River itself provides opportunities for water sports and recreation. Station Camp Campground operates year-round and accepts reservations through Recreation.gov up to 240 days in advance. The nightly fee is $28 per site (half price for holders of Interagency Access/Senior Passes), accommodating up to six persons per site. Check-in and check-out time is 12:00 PM Eastern Time. Campers should be aware of park regulations including proper food storage due to black bears, leash requirements for pets, and restrictions on motorized vehicles not designated for highway use.
