Access to the group/tent campground is before the gate closing the road into the RV campground, which also goes to the beach. There are four bathhouses for four campground loops, but they aren’t necessarily centrally located in each loop (the loop A bathhouse is centrally located in that loop.) Some of the sites might be a fair walk from the bathhouse. While the campground roads are paved (and in good condition), the driveways of campsites are gravel, angled to make back-in easier.

Most sites would easily accommodate longer rigs, and in fact there were some there that I’m certain exceeded that limit.
INDIAN BOUNDARY CAMPGROUND DRIVER
The roads through the campground have some fairly tight turns, but they are certainly easily managed by vehicles within the published 26-foot limit (damages caused by larger vehicles are the responsibility of the driver fines may be imposed.) In fact, based on my walk-thru of the campground, I don’t understand the 26-foot limit. There should be no problems with access in any kind of vehicle. Both the Cherohala Skyway and the access road (Indian Boundary Road) are in excellent condition, although somewhat curvy and steep.

There are several campground hosts – one for each loop it appeared to me – to provide help if needed.Īccess: Indian Boundary Campgound is 17 miles from the small town of Tellico Plains, TN, about 2 miles off the Cherohala Skyway on a paved access road. Reserve well in advance if you want to spend a weekend at Indian Boundary. The sites must be reserved 5 days ahead of arrival time, although on weekdays during the offseason you probably can get a site without a reservation. A number of sites in Loop A are on the lake, but even those that aren’t have easy access to the lake via a sidewalk in Loop A to a nice pier with benches, and via the Lake Trail which comes into the campground behind Loop B, runs behind the camp store, and across a small stream and then along the waterfront of Loop A. There is a little understory between sites (more than a little in some areas) to provide some appearance of privacy when the leaves are on the trees, and they certainly aren’t crowded together like many commercial RV campgrounds. Each site has electricity – 30-amp in most sites 50-amp in some sites in Loop D. While there isn’t water in the campsites, there are hydrants throughout the campground – fill up before you reach your site or plan on carrying water to your site. The 87-site campground is a treat – clean and neat, and the roads, driveways, and pads are well-maintained, situated on the lake, and spread through a forest. For hiking and biking, a 3.1 mile trail circles the lake, providing beautiful views, access to the lake for fishing, and – it’s best feature, of course – a myriad of wildflowers. Between the campground and the beach there is a picnic area with several tables and a volleyball net, and there is another volleyball net on the waterfront area of campground Loop A. There is also a nice beach for swimming (I imagine the water is cold, welcome in the summers) with a picnic pavilion and restrooms. Indian Boundary Lake is a non-motorized (electric trolling motors are allowed) lake apparently known for fishing, and is a popular spot for casual kayaking and canoeing. It is anchored by a beautiful 97-acre man made lake formed by a dam across Flat’s Creek with a backdrop of the Unicoi Mountains, over which the Cherohala Skyway crosses. Forestry Service facility in the Cherokee National Forest of east Tennessee about 15 miles up the Cherohala Skyway from Tellico Plains.
