Tennessee State Parks has unveiled its new campground reservation system, offering visitors the ability to reserve campsites at 35 state parks up to one year in advance of their planned stay. Reservations can be made online, at the park’s office or by calling an individual park.
“Traditionally, campers have had to rely on obtaining their favorite camping spot on a first come, first served basis,” said Bob Martineau, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Commissioner. “With the new reservation service, visitors will be offered more ease and convenience when it comes to their park stay.”
Campers can select the state park they wish to visit, arrival and departure dates, and their preferred campsite. Visitors may reserve up to five sites per reservation. The online system features a campground map, offering photos and prices for each individual campsite.
Tennessee State Parks implemented the program using a phased approached, beginning in late 2012 to ensure the appropriate training could take place and any issues or concerns could be addressed before formally launching the new reservation system.
