Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

Great stay and beautiful weather

Camping here was great. The property was very nice. The bathhouse was not only clean, but well kept up with and there was instant hot water. Sure it’s right next to an active train track. I live next to a train track so that didnt bother me. I would go back!

I love the meadows. I bit pricy for what you get….BUT THE TRAIN NOISE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

Sites are not flat & beware of dogs

We only found 2 campsites that were flat enough for a tent and there are two resident dogs that my kids were not a fan of. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else.

Great camping experience!

The location was easy to find, there were several available spots, and the bathrooms were really well-maintained. The train was really loud, but just bring ear plugs and it's not a big deal. There are a few hound dogs that roam around, but they were friendly and good with our dogs. Overall, would camp again - we had a great experience!

Great sight, bathrooms were very clean and great water pressure and really hot water. This was an awsome sight to be very secluded. Some awsome off road trails as well.
