Weve been going to Willis Knob for years and have enjoyed every trip!

Rain stopped and sun came out. Upper loop equestrian camp sites were just perfect for our group. Lots of mountain laurel blooming on trails above the river. A wonderful place for a weekend camp ride.

The campsites were nice. We have an RV, so didn't need to use the bathrooms/showers, so cannot rate them. Some of the horse trails were in poor condition and the signage was confusing at best. I was lost for several hours, ended up having to take Warwoman Road back to the Willis Knob camp road. With no cell service, it was impossible to let others at campsite know. Our group had a great time.

Great campground location to access horse trails and Trout Streams in the Warwoman Road area.

One of the trails was in very poor shape with deep washouts and where we tie the horses doesn’t drain when it rains and so we had to leave early because our horses can’t stand in water all day and night. We had fun don’t get me wrong but the safety of the horses is paramount to anything else.

We really love the layout and accommodations of this campground. Would be great to have cell service, buy Hey, we need to disconnect.

Quiet, remote campsite with electric and water hookups. Toilet (unsure if shower inside as I did not use it). Takes a little work to park rig if you have a big one (ours is 47' long) but it's possible. Twisty turny gravel road down into campsite so advise you arrive in daylight. The park's map is located in center of grounds but the map is pretty bad. Take your GPS! Once we crossed the Chattanooga River at the far end of trail, the South Carolina side of the river had GREAT maps located at trail markers. GA trail (cross river at Adline Ford) will connect to SC trail (cross back over at Earl's Ford) and make a 14 mile loop. Well worth the ride! Trails well maintained with lots of views of the river.

Our week-end at WKHC was great!! Some of the trails on the Ga side had trees across them ! Most could be gone around but the trails needs some major chain saw work!! Great riding and great weather!!!

Willis Knob horse camp is a great isolated campground with power hookups and water hook-ups and plenty of room for horses at the intersection of some great riding trails with access to some great views and good Trout Fishing Streams.

Bathrooms very clean. Campsite clean. There were a couple water spigots that were dripping, but they worked. Wish there was cell service at the campsite, but if you ride 30 minutes on a trail to the left of the campsite there is service and a sign.

All the faucetts were pouring water when we arrived. Had to call for maintenance to get Ranger to come fix them. Had to move camp. Lots of hard work. Now, campers don't think you should have these group camps. its not fair for 1 party to have to book 3 camp sites when they only need one. Also, you don't allow Golden Age passes on Group sites and that is not fair to senior citizens. Willis Knob is our favorite horse camp and is lovely, however; it's not being kept up and maintained. The outside toilet wouldn't even flush. Why can't you put a regular bathroom there that has a normal flushing toilet instead of that nasty outside toilet that don't work half the time and it stinks.

Awesome spot tucked away from civilization. Campsites are level and shady with full hookups and a short walk to the bathroom. Would definitely return!

Beautiful camping, convenient areas for horses, quiet - everything we were looking for!
@JulieS694 · Camped on Apr 16, 2021 at Campsite #9
Nice Equestrian campground. I have been here 5 times and have met mostly friendly people. Wish the bathrooms had showers and running water though.
@TerryB718 · Camped on Apr 8, 2021 at Campsite #7
The camp was very clean this time, vault toilet clean, horse manure cart mostly clean....however the water is still leaking at campsite 8, making it a very wet site. Luckily we had a hose to divert the water into the woods.
@nickl518 · Camped on Feb 23, 2021 at Campsite #6
Trails we're in good shape could use more signage. Campground nice in good shape water and power lots are easy to get into.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
