Reviews of Chickamauga Lake
Reviewed by Guest on September 14, 2009
(0 out of 0 members found this review useful.)We were delighted with the campground at Harrison Bay State Park, which we visited in mid-September. Peaceful, well-managed (clean bathrooms with showers, grounds litter-free, etc.), with beautiful lake views, a field for ball games, a playground, etc. It even has a lovely Sunday morning worship service. Very convenient to Chattanooga, yet spacious and free of commercial ugliness. It provides the best of both worlds. We would definitely go back!
