Love it! Be careful about your site. Some of the decks have a super steep incline or decline entering and the decks show signs of many rigs bottoming out. Many are really level and super easy to back in. It just depends. Bathhouse are nice but need more ventilation.

Amazing sites and views. Bathrooms are few and far from many sites. Parking on a deck is amazing and just adds to the view. Cell phone coverage is bad which is why I gave 4/5 for this place. If you can stay here and swim in the rustic side of the lake I would. On the other side of the lake is Floating Mills campground with high density sites and a beach.

Loved this Tennessee State Park! Totally different RV sites that were set on piers with some having like views like the one had. Close to Interstate 40 and Cookeville Tennessee. We stayed only one night and had reserved the spot for just a one night layover. Hook ups were water and power with a dump station available. Plenty of room on the spot we had for our 35 foot fifth wheel. Hope to stay here again in the future.

Awesome place for Camping. Good hiking spots. Can do fishing as well. Very friendly environment. Made me realize how Israelite camped in the wilderness and how provided them everything. Numbers 10:31 Then he said, “Please do not leave us, inasmuch as you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you will be as eyes for us.

Who was Edgar Veins?

Barbara Martin | Feb 27, 2018
Timothy Blystone | Feb 28, 2018

James Edgar Evins (1883–1954), the park's namesake, was a Smithville businessman and state senator who played a vital role in the development of the Center Hill Dam and Reservoir in the 1940s. He was the father of former United States Representative Joe L. Evins, for whom the nearby Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Craft is named. The Evins family began pushing for the establishment of a state park along the DeKalb portion of Center Hill Lake as early as the 1950s.
