Dam Creek Walk-In Campground and Picnic Area
About this site
Dam Creek Walk-in Campground and Picnic Area is a quiet, historic site built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Cherokee National Forest. This small walk-in campground provides a peaceful retreat away from vehicle traffic, ideal for campers seeking solitude in a forested setting. The centerpiece of the area is a 2.5-acre pond stocked with bass, bluegill, and catfish, accessible from the shoreline and fishing piers. An accessible quarter-mile trail loops around the pond, offering an easy walk through the forest. The site includes both camping and day-use picnic facilities, making it suitable for both overnight stays and afternoon visits. As a walk-in campground, visitors must carry their gear a short distance from the parking area to the campsites. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a modest nightly fee. Additional Info: Located in Cherokee National Forest at 1,896 feet elevation with primitive walk-in sites. Features stone structures from the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps.
