Veterans Memorial Park

2 ReviewsAdd Review

Within Wilson Reservoir Retained Land, Veterans Memorial Park operates as a Tennessee Valley Authority campground offering electric hookups and standard amenities including restrooms, drinking water, and a dump station. The facility allows pets and campfires, with picnic tables at each site and reliable cell service throughout the area.

One reviewer noted the campground's closure status as of 2019, though the park itself remains accessible with war aircraft displays, a playground, and pavilions available for day use. The wooded setting provides walking areas and grills for visitors. Campers seeking alternatives might explore campgrounds just outside Florence or consider nearby Wilson Dam campground. Check current operating status before planning overnight stays.

Closed campground but nice to visit park

As far as I know the campground is closed, but its a pretty little park with a small playground, bathrooms, grills, and pavilions. Also has war aircraft displayed you can walk around and see and its free. So if you are in the area (possibly camping at McFarland Park) you can take the family and go see the war crafts. Picnic tables, areas to walk. Lots of woodland.
