Chester Frost Park (Hamilton County Park)

Beautiful Campground!!!

We recently stayed at this park for three (3) weeks. There are three sections, the first and second ones are very close to the ranger station - one section being a tent only section with most sites on the waterfront, the second with small sites, although there are many on the waterfront. The third one is a good bit farther away and the sites are bigger, with a lot of them being on the waterfront or having a water view, since this park is on the Tennessee River. It is a wonderful county owned park offering several boat ramps; several docks for fishing and tieing up your boat; very little traffic which makes for easy bike riding or walking; clean, roomy modern bath houses and restrooms. It is a beautiful hilly campground with lots of shade trees. The only downsides to this campground are: 1)there are no sewer hookups at any of the sites, although there is a sewerage disposal site in both sections allowing RV's, in addition to one in the 'day park' area as you are entering/leaving the park: 2) they take no reservations - it is first come/first served. Neither of these will keep us from going there again.

The park is close to grocery shopping and anything else you may want. This is a beautiful campground and very well maintained, as well as being constantly patrolled by the Rangers. They run a tight ship. You can feel very safe here!!!
