Red Top Mountain State Park

Very nice, big and well maintained state park with several easy hiking trails. Four nice bath/shower buildings that were built about early 2022, two of them had laundry and all were very clean. The park appears to have had a lot of updates throughout. Our site had cable connection but not great channels choices. Free digital tv was better picture and more choices. Only one bar LTE ATT cell signal. They have Wi-Fi for $9 per day. I-75 traffic noise and evening trains are a constant distraction especially during AM/PM rush hours. They have two nice dump stations but the rinse water line doesnt have a threaded hose connection to flush out the tank. Biggest problem with this campground is all the rv/trailer sites face the wrong way so you are looking at the road or neighbors rather than lake or woods. All sites also need at least 4-6 inches of extra leveling help and none of them have a separate tent pad. Just enough room for a trailer and tow vehicle. I saw an A class with front wheels 6 inches off the ground. There appeared to be 3 seperate camp hosts but I didnt see much activity from any of them. Their parking pad was the most level in the park. Narrow curvy roads getting to the park and equally curvy and narrow inside the campground.

I stayed here one night at the end of March and really enjoyed it. Yes, the road is tight and some sites have steep slopes to back down into, but the lakeviews among the huge pines were spectacular. The campground was undergoing major maintenance for some needed TLC and I believe this will be a 5 once complete. The camp hosts were very helpful. Don’t miss the 4 mile iron hill trail for mountain biking, it was a lot of fun. I had 2-3 bars for Verizon and was able to work just fine including zoom calls. God willing, hope to come back someday to spend more time exploring.

We had a spectacular view of the lake from a high campsite that was terrifying to back down into and set up. Not for the faint of heart. Site was not level. No idea where the bathrooms were so can’t comment. Roads up are very narrow. It was beautiful. There was a dump at the campsite but the the angle made it too difficult to use. My class B+ made the site ok but if you have a class A this park is a challenge. The hiking here is very good.

We had site 24, with a 32’ 5th wheel, horrible to back in and saw several back-in with the same situation. Big drop offs once you leave the pavement and roads are tight. Over our 3 day stay, I’m pretty sure bathrooms were not clean. Saw the same “garbage” on the floor all 3 days. No view at site 24, other than the rest room. Would not stay here again.

The pull through campsites are very nice and level. Also it is very clean. The new visitor center is really great! The staff here is always friendly! (This is our second stay, after driving through the other camping loops, we decided only pull throughs for us. The reason being is the roads on the other loops were very narrow with tight turns and a lot of low branches.)

Park is beautiful, campground site some cells could use some repair some of them are dangerous washed out etc. Comfort stations absolutely gross, in need of extreme repair, mold growth, bugs, dirty. If you have access to your own shower in your camper use it. If your tent camper or don’t have access to a shower make sure you take a canna Lysol with you and where shoes.

Nice forested campground. We stayed at a pull through site which was very spacious. Concrete picnic tables and well set up fire rings and cook places. Roads to and throughout the park were a little narrow.

Seems very nice. Did a quick overnight since it was convenient to the highway. Campground is gated and campers without reservations are not allowed after 10pm.

The park is lovely. It is heavily wooded with a beautiful lake attached. The visitors center doesn't really have RV parking for check in, but there is some shoulder room to stop and get checked in. The roads in the campground are pretty narrow and the trees are very close. I stayed in a 39' fifth wheel and had to be careful navigating.

My preferred site was tasted at 40', but I don't see how anyone could back into it. I moved along and found another with a view of the lake a little farther away. Backing in was still tight, but definitely doable.

I'd recommend the campground, but if your backing in skills are shaky or you don't want to worry about the right roads, if suggest the pull through sites even though the view isn't as good.

Came mid July 2016 on a Sunday as an early stop from Jacksonville FL to the badlands. Nice quiet campground. We have a 35 ft class A and had no problem getting in. Bathrooms are okay for a campground-- relatively clean. Some of the sites are nice and wooded but some are also in the open and pretty close together. Our site had 30A electric and the water pressure was pretty weak. We got a wooded, pretty isolated spot that was an easy walk to comfort station 3 (bathrooms). Lots of bees here in the summer which are all over anything with moisture, including your food so be prepared to eat inside. Overall good experience, though, and would repeat. No sewer hookups, dump station only.
