Great campsite, excellent facilities, nice walking path, and enjoyable kayaking.

@BrandonB861330 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #22

Clean, quite campground with helpful and friendly staff.

@StephenD346210 · Camped on Aug 26, 2024 at Campsite #55

Great quiet campground with plenty of flat spots.

@BeverleyP72EEC · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #4

The only negative about Indian Boundary is that to reserve a site, you must book 3 months in advancewhoever decided that this would be the best option, for whatever reason, has caused the park to lose a lot of income as people will book their favorite site for 28 days, then cancel so the park is empty when the booking reservations say that these sites are reservedshame on you! Loops B, C, and D only had 3-4 campsites utilized when the reservation site said they were all reserved. Maybe its time to rethink your strategy!

@MikeW4539708 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #16

Great campsite! Clean and well maintained and the general store is awesome!

@EliseLCFA85DEB · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #91

Hosts were friendly and helpful. Bathhouses were very clean. Campstore was well stocked. Hiking trail around the lake was maintained. We always enjoy our time spent camping at Indian Boundary.

@BarbaraG281779 · Camped on Jul 14, 2024 at Campsite #16

Great weather, a good campsite with a view of the lake, fun swimming in the lake and hiking the trail around the lake all combined to make it a very good camping experience at Indian Boundary.

@RogerM3929062 · Camped on Jul 7, 2024 at Campsite #88

Always a joy to camp at Indian Boundary! Can't waitto visit again!

@TimothyP133669 · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #35

Great campground. Very nice mountain lake. No motorboats, which is excellent, and allows for serene paddle boarding, kayaking, and canoeing. Very clear and clean water. Only one trail for hiking easily accessible. Other trails are minimum 3 miles down the road, which is somewhat inconvenient, IMO.

@LetishaC0BD67D · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #13

This was my families first time camping here. We were in A loop and it was very convenient to go to the lake. We enjoyed being on our paddleboards. Everyone that we came in contact with were very friendly. There was always something going on volleyball, fishing, and biking. We had a really good time.

@DonnaD3748747 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #87

Overall, our experience was very good; although the sites in Loop D are tighter and smaller than ones we have stayed in on Loop C previously. Very neat and clean!

@JohnnyO9A857DC · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #11

Great campsite, great weather, stellar camp host. We loved it!

@RebeccaS312468 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #33

Indian Boundary is my favorite campground. My family has been going there for the last 40 years and we always have a great time there.

@GaryC9619428 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #40

enjoyed the campsite and the General store folks are very nice.

@RyanS4713424 · Camped on Jun 9, 2024 at Campsite #58

Mrs.Sue and Gary where by far the most extraordinary people I have ever met. Billy at the camp store went above and beyond service. Ms. Martha was a very sweet person. Mary Jane was awesome. Plan on camping there every summer from here on out.

@GlendaM19E883F · Camped on May 18, 2024 at Campsite #34

We had a wonderful time, just bad weather. Grandchildren love to walk to store and ride their bikes. Everyone was very friendly and pleasant! Hostesss are great and are also checking on the bathrooms and campers!

@AprilC1313313 · Camped on May 15, 2024 at Campsite #84

Great place to go with friends. Our kids had a blast playing with their friends and the lake was beautiful.

@DonnaR4638874 · Camped on May 14, 2024 at Campsite #44

This is my favorite campground. I love loop A. When I made my reservations everything was booked but site B44 so I took it. When I was there the campground was near empty. The new reservation system is the worst ever. I used to be able to camp there multiple times a year now I can't even get in because it's booked with people holding sites and not camping. This needs to stop.

@BrentW1009266 · Camped on May 12, 2024 at Campsite #61

Great campground. Hosts are always nice and helpful. Wish we could bring a golf cart.

@BettyOA9E1B95A · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #7

Beautiful & serene, just what we needed

@LeannaS28B8486 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #31

We loved the opportunity to be disconnected, so having no signal was nice. We stayed in Loop A (34 ft Class C), the hosts were great. The deal with hammocks is for real - apparently there are some sites where the trees are inside wood outline, but those are the only ones where you can put one up. I believe its an $80 fine for a hammock on the site outside of that area. We stayed close to the general store where they have everything and anything one might need, there is a paybox for those needing firewood or ice after hours. This was our first time camping w/o water hookup, but we were lucky to have the access right next to our site, so we were able to briefly hookup to it and fill our tank. Walked the loop - very easy. We stayed in early May and the elevation made it nice during the day and chilly at night, enough to appreciate a fire. Went into town and hung out at Tellico Beach - had some hot dogs and ice cream (WOW!). Only disappointment was that weekend people back home in Knoxville were able to see the Northern Lights - definitely could not see them at the campground.

@MarkH9198239 · Camped on May 6, 2024 at Campsite #90

Its a beautiful campground nestled in to the trees. The sites are well spaced, shady, and level. Bathrooms are good, campstore is great. Zero cell reception. Dont forget to fill your freshwater tank before parking. There is a 3 mile trail around the lake.

@MarvinN82128E4 · Camped on May 5, 2024 at Campsite #17

Great campsite with a view of the lake and a good trail around the lake.

@BarbaraM393111 · Camped on May 5, 2024 at Campsite #60

I have checked out many other campgrounds in my area but I always go back to IB. I have been camping at Indian Boundary for 53 years with children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. Never had a bad experience.

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!!!
