Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground

Quick stop on our drive home. Made the reservation the night before, they called to confirm the next day. Nice folks both on the phone and in person! Check in was quick and easy, and you are escorted to your site by a sweet guy on a golf cart. Hook ups are close and they offer free WiFi and cable hookup.

Closest campground to downtown. Very close to everything that's great about Chattanooga. Caverns and tour are awesome! Campground is meh, nothing spectacular but not terrible, kind of average. The pool is decent, playgrounds are old but still fun. Not much in the way of shade, so kinda hot in July lol. Views are pleasant being on the side of a hill. Chattanooga is so great and this is so close that it makes the rating higher than it would be. Caverns also help. We would stay here again.

We enjoyed spending several days exploring Chattanooga. The camp staffers are friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean and the park is well kept. The sites are tight. You're right on top of each other. Fine for a couple of days.

We arrived late they had an escort take us to our site. Everything was super clean and easily accessible. We already are starting to plan a trip

The staff was wonderful, and it was quiet. The tent site we stayed in was fairly level, with a nice shade and plentiful grass. The fire ring was a nice size with nice cooking grate. We were directly across from the pool, and it was never loud. The firewood was $5 cash per bundle delivered to your site until 10 pm. Ice was $2.50/bag. Bathhouse and laundry were clean and functional. The tour of the caverns was well worth the money spent and in much more of a natural state in comparison to Ruby Falls. We will definitely be back!

All spots are very level. Staff was very friendly and responsive to any needs. Again located in close proximity to several beautiful places like Rock City and Ruby Falls .

Very well kept camp ground and site though a little cramped. Super convenient for going into downtown Chattanooga and also fun activities at the camp ground.

Beautiful area, friendly and helpful staff. They even guided us to our site since it was dark. It is fairly packed and a little pricey or I would have gave it 5 stars.

Camp staff was great, we arrived late they took us to our spot. Spot was by a creek that made sleeping very easy. However spot was very rocky and you could tell rain would wash right under tent area. Bathhouse was in good shape and very warm. We just think that for the age of the camp ground and the type with no electric or water, 55$ was high for 2 nights. Spots are very crowded and close together. We did not have a bad 2 days, please understand that. Will we go back again unlikely , however one never really knows. Stay was March 2022

This campground was very clean and quiet. It was also very accessible to a number of sites including Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga Battlefield, Cloudland Canyon, etc. The setting is pretty -  a valley with mountains surrounding the campground. The pool looked very nice although it wasn't open for the season when we were there in late March. 

The sites were close together, but it was okay for us because we were out and about exploring the area most of the time.

Nice site, great staff, bathrooms were clean. Spaces were a little tight, but not terrible. Dog park was great for our dog to run around off leash for a while.

Staff is very helpful and inviting. Safe for children to play!

The caverns on site are really cool. Pool was small but nice. Fun place to stay with nightly events.

This place was awesome. Customer service was above and beyond. Grounds were clean, bathrooms were nice and secured, quiet and peaceful. All staff were super helpful and nice. Would’ve stayed longer if we could!

Nice campground that's well kept. Also located right next to the caverns you can go explore. Kids loved it. Only downside is the deluxe pull-thru sites aren't that large.

Raccoon Mountain Campground is conveniently located while still feeling secluded. The staff is extremely friendly and the environment is more than you could hope for. We stayed in site 67 near the primitive sites and would stay at this site again. Highly recommend visiting this campground!

For a first outing with our new camping gear, our weekend at Raccoon Mountain campground was a great success. However, the terrain of the property makes it so all the campsites are in relatively close quarters, and with RV parking taking up most of the property, the primitive site experience just wasn’t as nice and relaxing as we had hoped for. Plus, the road going through the primitive area was gravel and steep, so it can be difficult to drive on if you don’t have 4-wheel drive. The staff was very nice, though, and they brought firewood directly to your site if purchased. The on-site bathroom facilities, at least on the men’s side was pretty dirty, and could have used more regular servicing throughout the day, considering the number of people using it. I’m far from discouraged about this campsite, but I’m not exactly wowed either. I’d return to see if I would have a different experience!

Grounds were clean and fairly spacious! Showers clogged a bit but other than that no complaints!

We had to book this campground last minute due to a change in our Baseball Tournament schedule and the campground has been very accommodating every step of the way. Beautiful Mountain View’s, quiet, peaceful and clean accommodations. Pool was great for the kids, restrooms perfect for our needs and yes, when it rains it was muddy as others said; but you are in the mountains, isn’t that expected when it rains? We even had to change sites due to the last minute booking and since we had to leave early for a game and couldn’t wait for our new site to be unoccupied they placed us in a Temporary location so we can have AC for our dog. I was extremely grateful and very appreciative for their hospitality! Thank you Raccoon Mountain for a great stay, if we are ever up in this area again you can count we will be back! When you stay there; definitely take the time to see the caverns- they were amazing!

This place is an awful campground. There's nothing but rocks everywhere, making it very difficult to set up tents, and uncomfortable even with sleeping pads.

Hammocks are also difficult to set up here, but that doesn't matter since you aren't allowed to use them for some stupid reason. Supposedly a few idiots managed to hurt themselves and sued three different campgrounds, and somehow won. Do not camp here, it's worthless.

We have a 40’ class A and flat tow a Jeep. We stayed in site 203 for 3 nights. While we really enjoyed the campground, this site was not ideal for an RV our size. We weren’t able to put our awnings out or comfortably sit outside. Next time, we’ll see if it’s possible to stay in site 226. Overall, the campground was quiet at night and the kids loved playing with so many other children on the playgrounds. We all loved that Crystal Cave was right on site and enjoyed the guided tour. (Advanced reservations are required.) We also loved the guided tour just down the road at Ruby Falls! We explored Rock City as well. Next time we hope to get tickets to ride the incline railway. We do recommend trying the local Mr. T’s Pizza & Ice Cream. It was great & they deliver right to your site!

Went for valentines weekend. Was cold and foggy but caves were 58 degrees. Jasmine our tour guide was amazing. Hiking trail on property. 1 miles straight up. We made it to about 750 ft. Touch climb. Campsites have rocks and concrete patio with picnic table. Campground has nice shower facilities. Very clean and spacious. There is a gym and pool area. You can buy wood here for $5 a bundle. All the staff were great and nice. Great wifi if you need it 😉. Only 2 miles to Walmart. Less than 10 minutes to get to the sites in Chattanooga.

We stayed at this campground in the middle of November 2020 around Veterans Day.  We booked one of the cabins which was perfect (there are several at various sizes).  The one we stayed in had two rooms; one to sleep in (a double and a bunkbed) with a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker and a bathroom with a walk in shower.  The campground was clean and quiet.  There was a Landry room at the bathhouse, which we were able to wash our clothes before heading home.  You are minutes from Chattanooga and other sites like Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain/Rock City (it's best to purchase ticket online and recommended by the sites).  The staff was awesome and polite, easy to talk to.  There was a hiking trail.  You can tour the cavern for a cost, which was separate from the park office.  We look forward to staying again, hopefully by then in a RV.

Fantastic place, nice little store, beautiful sunrise makes you ready for day of Adventures. Nice level gravel spots

Very nice campground pool, playground, and games for all ages. Laundry and cable too! This place is Close to everything you’ll want to do in Chattanooga Tennessee

Very well maintained campground. Offers full hookups with cable and wifi included. Discounted tickets to tour the beautiful Crystal Cave available to guests. Large laundry facilities and many games are also available to guests.

This was a GREAT campground! The moment we drove up a golf cart met us at our truck. The gentleman asked our name and retrieved our check-in package then led us to our spot. We never had to get out of our truck until our camper was in it's spot. They pick up trash from your spot twice a day. The grounds are very well maintained. We stayed in spot 201. That spot had great Wifi! The roads and spot were gravel but there is a slab with the picnic table on it. All the employees were GREAT! Many dogs camping and they have a fenced in dog area. The Raccoon Mountain Cave was one of the highlights of our trip! One negative is the spaces are close together but that didn't effect our spot because 201 is on the end. Can't wait to go back one day!

Racoon Mountain Campground is so awesome. One of my absolute favorite places to hang out for a week. Awesome view of Lookout Mountain. All the amenities you need with full hookups and wifi. Great dog park. Nice campstore. Lots of fun things to do nearby Chattanooga
