I took the Volunteer Trail out to Backcountry Campsite #1. It is not marked on Google Maps but it is 200 yards from campsite #2. Great views of the lake on the trail. Sometimes I lost track of the path but there are a ton of blazes on trees so I was able to find it again. The campsite was nice and clean. Great waterfront view.

We only have back country (tent) camping which involves a 5.5 mile hike to the primitive campsites. No electricity, running water or restrooms but the campsites are located on the shoreline of Percy Priest Lake.

How u tent camp if it closes??

Donald Rinehart | Nov 1, 2020
Long Hunter State Park | Nov 1, 2020

Are you referring to the temporary closures during the day? If the volunteer trail parking lot is closed, first, you should check in/visit the visitor center, let the clerk know you are a camper with a reserved campsite. She can help. The park ranger at the gate probably cant help you at the moment due to safety precautions.

Are dogs on a leash allowed in at the Pow wow?

Ray Johnson | Nov 2, 2017
Steven Talbott | Nov 2, 2017

The park in general doesn't allow pets so if i had to guess, I'd say no. I suppose they could be making an exception for the special event but I didn't see anything about pets on the signage and I was just there yesterday. I know that's not a definitive answer but I hope it's someone helpful! Regardless, have fun at the pow wow!
