“The only park with a boundless playground”
Warriors’ Path State Park was named for the Great Cherokee War and Trading Path. Since that time, the park land has known a long history of travelers and is still a pathway for modern-day outdoor enthusiasts. The 950-acre park is located on the shores of the Patrick Henry Reservoir on the Holston River. Warriors’ Path is the only Tennessee State Park with a Boundless Playground - where children of all physical and mental abilities can play together. Other unique features throughout the park that are fully accessible include: the Lions Narnia Braille Trail with eight sensory stations along a quarter-mile that tell visitors the story of Aslan of the Chronicles of Narnia, the Anderson Treehouse which is a fully-accessible tree house and the Palmer Center Foundation Amphitheater which can host audiences of up to 1,000 people.

Confirmed by 1 users | Last reported on November 08, 2022Love this park from what I've got to discover of it so far. I've only done a few of the trails but I'm hoping to do many more in the future. It's beautiful and has quite a bit to do.
Nice place to camp - not far from interstate 81 - most sites have view of lake when leaves are off trees - bath house could use some TLC
This park is a little bit dated and cramped for our tastes. We got an outer loop spot which was a lot more private than inside the loop. There was a bit of trash around the site - especially in the fire pit.
The showers were very nice and the ranger made several passes by to check on everything. Quiet except for some speed boats on the lake.

We have camped in this campground many times but over the years it’s gotten a little worse each time. The site we are in has very little room in front of the camper and there are so many weeds (that could be mowed or trimmed) you can’t really enjoy the outside area around the camper. The picnic table is concrete with wooden seats that are so rotten we were unable to use one side of the table for fear of injury much less comfort. We will camp here again because it’s a nice secluded, peaceful place but this site is a definite no.

This park is beautiful. Sites are a little tight but perfect for my wife and I plus the dog. The bathrooms and showers are great especially the handicap ones. Will stay here many more times.

This was a stopover park for us on the way south. While the trails were nice, the campground sites left a little to be desired and I am not sure we would want to stay longer than a few nights. Upon arrival, it was raining, most of our site was flooded, and our picnic table underwater. Fortunately, by mid-morning the next day it had dried out and only left behind a *slight* layer of mud. At the time of our stay (November) at least half of the campground was closed for the season and after walking around we decided that nicer sites were all in the closed section. That said, $25/night for a site with water & electric is more than reasonable and while our site was not the most desirable, the location not far off I-81 was quite convenient. For us, the best part of the park was the network of hiking trails. We strung together a 5-mile hike that took us up to a viewpoint and then down around a river. Nice foliage at this time of year, and a good place to enjoy some fresh air!

We spent one night in mid-March and enjoyed our stay. Cell signal was good on both Verizon & AT&T. Campground was clean; the private bathrooms were for the most part clean. There are trails that go along the lake right from the campground. One strange occurrence: we had a cardinal "attack" our truck. It just coming back time after time and kept pecking at the passenger side door! Quite bizarre behavior we thought.

Odd sites-must back into your site that are right alongside and almost parallel to the road. Cars pass and can look into your windows. We were concerned our slide-out could get nicked by traffic. Hook-ups are on the wrong side & water pressure was low at the hook-up but not bad inside the RV. Picnic table was wooden & long last it’s prime w/ some rot. We waded at the nearby lake to cool off and the golf course was well maintained yet very hilly & difficult.
We got many over the air TV channels.

Our first trip with a new Fiver.
Others have reported 25 max lengths. Our Fiver is 32.5 feet and fit without issue, it could have been longer. Sites are paved 9for the most part,) and level. There are some sites that lend themselves to tent camping, and these are highlighted in the reservation system.
Excellent wash houses, with personal spaces for toilet and shower. (individual shower/lav/commode in each room).
Campsites are close together, but very well kept. Reservations needed especially at the weekend.
Our site was at the end of the loop, actually third from the last. Perfect for getting away and staying quiet as the play space was some distance from us.
It does appear some of the sites would be tight for longer units. Worthwhile to investigate before you book, if it's possible.
We had passable cell service, but no internet. We use GoogleFI, which travels on T-mobile or Sprint.
Note: our reported rate reflects a TN Senior discount.

This is an older, nice little campground with campsites that range from level to sloping or lumpy. The spacing isn't amazing, but you also aren't directly on top of your neighbors, but you can see and hear them.
This really is not a campground designed for big rigs (we're 40'), but it's also not prohibitive of them. There are several sites that are labeled as 40'+, but are a bit difficult to back in to due to the layout of the campground. In that vein, the campsite lengths are also questionably labeled. We reserved site 46 and had a bit of a difficult time wiggling into it. In addition, the firepit and picnic table for that site were on the wrong side of the rig. We then had a few nights booked in site 48, but that site was so narrow and sloped we decided to abort that reservation and snag site 40, which was labeled to only fit 30' rigs, but fit our 40' butts so long as we hugged the right side of the wide site. We enjoyed site 40. It is directly beneath the playground, which means balls are likely to hit your rig and you may find yourself throwing footballs with 10-year-olds, but that's to be expected.
Park is very quiet at night.
All sites are water and electric only. There are two dump stations, neither of which is overly convenient for navigating a big rig through.
The bathrooms aren't overly desirable, but they work.
Trails here are decent - short, but easily accessed and pretty. There is a little camp store, and if you walk over towards 'Duck Island' there is a burger shop, boat rentals, large playground, and frisbee golf area. In another area, there is a large outdoor pool, which is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Verizon was 2 bars and typically usable - we did employ a booster which helped with speeds a bit.
