Running Water Creek

Beautiful campground close to Chattanooga! After a long day of exploring the city, going to Running Water Creek is the perfect escape. The land is clean and extremely fun to hike around in. The owner and groundskeeper are nice, accommodating, and generous! The dogs that explore the grounds make you feel loved and joyful. We’re excited to bring our family and friends to this spot! We’ll definitely be back.

Easy to schedule and check-in. Very rustic and the drive onto the property could be off-putting. We spent a single night there as a rest stop on our travels from Virginia to Louisiana and back. There is a train track near the site. Price was very reasonable and the site will improve over time.

It was great! Perfect distance from downtown, we got in a lot of activities in 2 days. We came at the perfect time of year, didn’t need to use a fan or heater at night. Highly recommend!

Still camping here with my BF and wishing I didn't have to go back home yet. This place has one heck of a super comfortable bed, cozy get away, love that it's all solar powered! We ordered wood for a fire and they gave us more than enough for 2 days. The amenities, for being in the woods, is super clean. Sure, you can hear the trains, but living near a train track back home, it doesn't bother me and it's not the entire time. Nothing like sitting on the front deck and leaning back with a cold one at a comfortable place in the woods. Well kept, peaceful, looks like they are even updating things, cute stage and picnic area. 10/10 stars and will definitely come back.

Good place overall, definitely a work in process. Would be really good for large gatherings of campers. Pros: Hot showers (heavenly) Large campsites spaced apart Very little road traffic heard Responsive host Cons: Loud train passes through at night impossible to not hear even with earplugs (happened twice in our one night stay). Access road could be tricky for some with low clearance vehicles. Gate had a combo lockbox that could be tricky to handle in an emergency and it's not lit at night.
