Campground Information at Foster Falls

Jason asked a question today that comes up frequently: "Looking for info on reservations at the campground at Foster Falls. Do they have a group site?"

The Foster Falls campground is not part of South Cumberland, it is managed by TVA.

The campground has an on site manager (423) 942-5759, 26 campsites which are accessible for car camping, handicap-accessible rest rooms with heated showers and flush toilets, picnic tables and grills.

TVA also has a picnic pavilion at Foster Falls. Advanced reservations for the pavilion can be made by calling TVA's toll-free number, 866-494-7186.

The pavilion has tables that will seat 75 people, one large and two small charcoal grills, handicap accessible restrooms within 25 yards with paved parking. Water and 115VAC electricity is furnished.

Foster Falls is at the southern end of the Fiery Gizzard Trail. While there is no group camp at Foster Falls, the Father Adamz Boy Scout Camp (which is a primitive backpacker camp) is about one-half mile down the Fiery Gizzard Trail from the Foster Falls parking lot.

Cheers,
