We booked this campground hoping to spend the weekend partially at our tents and partially playing in norris lake. The site pictures make you believe that you have lakeside access but you do not. The tent sites (even the more expensive, which we asked for) are at the top of a steep grade that you can look over to see the water, but there's no access to it unless you jump off the dock at the marina. The bathrooms are disgusting. We got to the site obviously looking for lake front, after realizing that wasn't going to happen, we traveled along the gravel, yes gravel, sites until we got as far away from all the other campers as possible. We got situatied and then realized that the water access was broken, you could see where the pipe detached and hadn't been fixed, so we shared water with another site. We also didn't have a picnic table as expected. When I called and asked them for one, they said they would have one out to us in the morning, but we never saw it. We were there for 3 days. Thankfully the neighbors beside us were gracious enough to let us use thiers. The site also advertises firewood, so we didn't bring any so that the truck wouldn't be overloaded. The first day we got 5 bundles (5 dollars a bundle) and they were out of wood from there on out...not to mention we had to make our own firepit out of rocks in the area. I wouldn't suggest this campground to anyone unless they are just planning to sleep in their tent and play in the lake all day. Very disappointed.
