Greeter Falls Campground – Founders Message My favorite place to hike and camp in Tennessee is Savage Gulf State Park. A handful of years ago, after two hip surgeries, I embarked on a seven day/night hike there. Though challenging, it felt like a new lease on life. Abundant vistas, waterfalls, and trails galore. So, when … More Founders Message

This was our first time at Greeter Falls. It’s a very clean park, restrooms were immaculate, staff was very friendly and helpful and our site was very roomy and easy to get in with our 40’ fifth wheel. It was easy access to get there from Chattanooga. It’s within walking distance to Greeter Falls State Park which is full of waterfalls and a swimming hole. If you like camping in the mountains, you’ll love this park. We will return for sure!

We had a great time camping in our yurt at Greeter falls campground. The entire facility was really clean and neat. Trix and her husband were very accommodating to us and made us feel very welcome. I would recommend coming here and hiking the nearby falls as well! A+

First time camping at Greeter Falls Campground. It was a great experience. Firewood was delivered within 5 mins of our arrival. Bathrooms were the cleanest I’ve ever been in at a campsite. Wet quiet campsite close to beautiful waterfalls. Our family will definitely be back.Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

Greeter Falls Campground was fabulous! The sites are very nice, lots of wooded area surrounding, super close to the hiking trails of different falls, and the campground itself has super nice touches (like dog park, acitivity center, very clean bathhouse)that show how much love and care have been put into it. The people managing here are so kind and helpful. Loved the stay and looking forward to returning!

The experience staying here was Amazing! All the areas have decent amount of space to set up tents. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful for what we needed. Stargazing here was amazing. It is about a mile hike to the waterfalls and it was worth it. Just be sure to reach by daylight so that you can set up your tents with ease. We were late and being inexperienced campers we were given extra lantern lights! Also the camp toilets were extremely clean!

We had such a wonderful time camping here! Upon arrival to our campsite, I realized the site I booked was further away from everyone than I thought (which is great when you don’t want to be around people!). Being 3 small females on our own, we felt uncomfortable being so far from other people for safety reasons. Our wonderful campground hosts were so kind and allowed us to move/upgrade our spot immediately. They were so friendly and helpful the entire time! The bath house is very clean and nice. The campground is super close to several popular trailheads. Overall, it was a great stay!

Loved this new campground. Not sure if it was an off weekend but we had the entire section D to ourselves after one other camper left. Sites are not exactly level. They need to finish up the dump station but you can have them pump out or just pull up to the few sites, if they are empty, that have septic hook ups when you leave. Great staff. Our first trip to TN and we loved the area. Lots of hiking trails and waterfalls. Although falls were pretty light this time of year. 4 stars only because of some unlevel sites and sometimes odd hook up placements so bring extensions, but otherwise a great time. But 5 stars for the peace and quiet, lots of room, and staff. Would recommend and will go again.

We had a great weekend here in the camper! It was our first time taking it out on a trip. The wonderful hosts there took great care of us, going above and beyond. Not only did they let us borrow a hose, but they gave us hiking destination advice, brought by firewood, and even gave our son a little gift. They're just straight up good, caring folks. Our site was clean and the perfect size. We loved the swivel cooktop attached to the fire pit. We didn't need to use our grill at all. We also enjoyed walking around the property with the kids and made a stop at the activity center where my husband and son played a game of chess. Before we left, we let our son pick out a crack your own geode from the store, which he loved! We can't wait to come back to stay and see how the campground is progressing! Thanks so much!!!

We can’t get over great this place is!!! They aren’t lacking anything; everything you need is here and all in great condition. With intentions to go to camping in Chattanooga spontaneously, this was one of the only places available so we decided to stupid here. Trix and employees are awesome and so friendly. Camping sites are great with fire pits and grill shelves. Bathhouse is clean and good condition (could be a bit bigger for the number of sites they have). Shared port-a-potties, water, and outlet area at each site. Each camp site is nicely spaced from others, too. Plus affordable and near awesome trails. Come here!!
