Catherine at TTC sent me this info on the World Rounds and I thought I would pass it on.

There will be primitive camping available in the field below the lodge at TTC.

Nearby camping/hotel info is on the world round site.

Just a follow up

TTC will have primitive sites in the field below the lodge. Info will be posted on the world round site when it comes available.

Shellmound Campground does NOT take reservations. Rate $20.00

Hales Bar RV Park has nice cabins and looks like it can handle really big rv's from their website. The pool will probably not be open till after Memorial Day. Their rates are camping $25.00 and cabins $99.00 and up.

Camp on the lake looks real nice also. Rates are $20.00 per night and they have cabins for $40.00 -$50.00 per night. It is convenient to TTC and Chattanooga. The beach looked kid friendly so we booked here.

Concerning hales bar rv and cabins. I happen to live there at the marina on my houseboat. The rv spots are great they are right on the river with all congrete pads. The cabins are brand new some are floating in the river others are in campground. Easy in for big rvs let me know i can send pic if you would like

Randy,

Sounds great except they don't mention having sewer hookups.

Just got back from a trip to Louisville,Ky. over the weekend. Yep lots of snow up there!
We made a pit stop coming back at the Jasper,Tn.
exit. Nice to see a NEW gas station/shop with
a Quizno's sub shop! Very nice store accoss I-24 from the Acuff Inn.

In the February issue of TrialsCompetition, Dan Brown mentioned "some really beautiful camping areas along the Little Sequatchie River at the Sequatchie Cove Farm."

Anyone know if they have full hook-ups?

www.sequatchiecovefarm.com

I do not believe that they have hookups, but I would e-mail them direct to get an accurate answer.

Another camping option is the hales bar marina on the tennessee river spots are still avaiable
mention the world round and there a little discount they have a website you can see the place pool onsite no sewer hookups put they do have dump station 423-942-9000 or web www.halesbarmarina.com Your about 15 miles from ttc
