We lodged here at the beginning of June 2023. The booking website claims that every site overlooks the river, which isn't entirely accurate... the eastern and central loops do for the most part. However, the western loop doesn't. Site 57 was spacious, flat, and featured a wonderful patio space and a pleasant river view! The campground has a somewhat "open air" vibe, with towering pine trees and little to no foliage separating the sites. The site immediately adjacent to the driver's side of our trailer was somewhat cramped, but they departed and we were left with no nearby neighbors! There were plenty of vacant sites. The volunteers were friendly and check-in was a breeze. The bathhouses were also commendable, with each individual "room" equipped with a toilet, sink, and shower - very convenient! It's a great location for exploring Shiloh National Military Park or simply relaxing and observing the river's activities.

I visited this place with a 35-foot 5th wheel and a long-bed pickup, settling at site #10, an E/W, BI site, priced at $29 per night, including a senior discount (which I believe you have to request at check-in). However, please be aware that my GPS led me astray. The campsite is located off Hardin Road, but my GPS directed me to the Ranger Station. The roads and site are asphalt but are in a state of decay (cracked, crumbling, and potholes). The site was extremely uneven, both laterally and longitudinally. I had to place my wheels off the asphalt on the elevated side to have enough boards to level it. The utilities were inconveniently located on the opposite side of the site (I particularly enjoyed crawling under the rig to connect my power cord). The picnic table and fire pit were situated towards the back and driver's side. It was straightforward to reverse into as it was directly off a road curve. The campsite is abundant with trees providing shade. The washroom facilities are somewhat distant from this loop but were clean and had individual shower rooms. Regarding connectivity, I had 2 bars of LTE with Verizon, no wifi, and no OTA channels (although I noticed others had reception). Site 33 was my preferred choice and was more level than most (except for the handicap-accessible spots). Sites 1, 3, and 4 were my next favourites. The two PT sites had a significant incline – requiring a 4-6” adjustment. Recycling bins were available. Laundry facilities are located at the marina (only 1 washer/dryer). If I had to visit this area again, I would likely choose a different campsite due to the uneven sites and poor road conditions.

The camping area at Pickwick Dam is quite pleasant, characterized by lofty trees and tranquility. It's impressively pristine and properly looked after. The staff at the camp is diligent in their duties. However, the camping spots were slightly congested than our preference, but still tolerable. Our primary issue was the unpleasant smell from the paper factory on the opposite side of the river, especially when the wind carried it towards us. The Verizon mobile network signal was weak, fluctuating between 1-2 bars, and lacked consistency.

Between November 22nd and 28th, 2022, I stayed for six days at a campsite that usually costs $24 on weekdays and $25 on Fridays and Saturdays. We received a 25% senior discount, and after adding tax and a $5 reservation fee, the total cost came to $130.68. This price included full hookups.The campsite was constructed in the 1970s, at a time when campers were generally smaller. The park ranger informed me that the site is due for a renovation, which should take place in about two years. The main problem is that the grounds are not even. Some spots are more uneven than others, with the worst ones requiring a 30-foot camper's hitch to be elevated by five or six feet to achieve a level position. According to the ranger, site #33 is the most level. Many of the sites are manageable, and there are YouTube videos detailing which ones are better or worse. The two spots designated for disabled campers are quite nice and seem to be very level.The restrooms are modern and appear to be newly renovated. There's one trail in the campsite. Upon arrival, there was no ranger or camp host present. I simply went to the site I had reserved. When I was looking for a park to stay at, David Crocket State Park was fully booked, but this one had many available spots. I would consider staying here again.There's a laundry room, but its location at the marina office is not immediately obvious. We had difficulty finding someone who could direct us to it.

We drove through with our motor home. Most of the sites are Very sloped. In order to get level our tires would have been way off the ground. The pavement in several sites has either sunk or raised and some of it is broken up. There are a few sites that are mostly level and the ADA site is great. We drove on to the Pickwick Dam Campground where we found beautiful level sites

Recently rebuilt. Gravel sites, level, roomy. I was in a pull through that had enough parking room for my trailer, tow vehicle, room left for a boat and another vehicle if I had them. Private shower/bath rooms. Barge/tug traffic was light, not a distraction. Got pretty full during the weekend- I was there Sept 30-Oct 4, 2022. I got a sack full of pinecones to take home. Park was recently mowed, beautiful location. The first sections (2-3?) were shaded, lots of trees. The last section from the gate had fewer trees and lots of sun. Not sure about amount of phone reception- my ATT worked fine for phone calls and texts. I don't use internet on my phone.

Fairly full when we were there. Nice site with large open lawn area to the rear. Nice level gravel site, easy access. Some odor from the pulp factory depending on wind direction. Interesting that dam has active lock. Minimum of 2 night stays.

This campground was honestly one of the hardest to leave. The river flowing nearby and the people were just amazing that were camp hosting. The whole trip was amazing! The bath houses I can’t speak enough good about them. They were hot and the water was hot so unlimited shower time and they were individual rooms in the building. Honestly wonderful experience.

We had to alter our fall plans, and reluctantly reserved the last available site here for the weekend. We lucked out, this place is real nice, quiet, and all the sites are level. TVA rebuilt it after a bad flood. #59 is one of the interior sites, so neighbors were close but no problems at all. The outer rings offer more privacy here. Golf nearby, fishing, & some good BBQ joints.

We stayed here August 30,2020 There was a flood here a few years back and washed the campground out, they are rebuilding. All sites are level, electric and water, dump station not available when we stayed. Bathrooms and showers are brand new and clean. There are 2 sets of campground hosts and they keep it real clean and tidy. It’s a bit difficult to navigate to the park since they have closed down some of the road to the campground, the signage is not clear so we ended up on a private RV park that is being rebuilt also. We ended up calling the Camp hosts and they have us directions. WiFi good signal Very quiet, we would stay here again.

I should have paid more attention to the “moderate incline”. The sites are extremely unlevel and nearly all of them that we saw do not have a large or level enough area to open the awning and create an attached space. The site we had was badly sloped with lots of tree roots and busted concrete running through the site. The picnic area and fire rings were on the “wrong” side of the camper making it impossible to use out outdoor kitchen. Overall the state park is nice. The people are friendly and it is a lovely area but we won’t be going back here and we left a day early. I can hardly believe none of the reviews mention that the nearby paper mill can be over powering to the nose! I woke up in the night and thought our camper was having a sewage issue. I added deodorant to the tanks and opened a window. Bad idea. It wasn’t until my husband reminded me of the mill that I caught on to the problem. Funny but just not fun. Be careful with long rigs and take extra care choosing a site.

We stayed here Monday-Tuesday nights. Only seven other campers in the park, so it was very quiet! The trails are rather boring and flat, and only about two miles long, but the river view is nice. I estimate 50% of the sites are NOT conducive to comfortable rv stays, but #33 was mostly level (2" low on the driver's side), but easily accessible and a lovely spot in the trees. Large marina, easy access to the Tennessee River. Bathrooms/showers were renovated in 2018. Pretty nice, but the water is VERY HOT. Golf is very close by, and Shiloh Battlefield is less than 30 minutes away. I recommend it for two nights, max, unless you bring a boat. Full sized Kroger nearby in Savannah. Several local restaurants, most closed this week.

We enjoyed the deep woods feel and privacy created by slopes and trees between sites. We were close by a short trail down to the lake that was great for a sunset view, as well as access to a 2.5 mile trail for a nice hiking excursion. Our camper is only 20’ so we had no problem with the length of the site, but the incline required that we back our camper all the way in and lower the tongue jack completely to get level. The shower house is modern and clean, but the nozzles on the showers aren't adjustable and spray water everywhere. One of the showers only provided extremely hot to scalding water, but the temperature was fine in the others. The staff we spoke with were kind and helpful. The campground is a short drive from other lake activities including a swimming beach, a marina and several boat ramps. We just wanted to chill, so it worked out well for us to just string up a hammock, relax in the gravity chair and generally take it easy.

The campground is hard to find. But open. Spotless bathrooms. Nice green grass. Very peaceful it is a nice Place to stay
