Reelfoot Lake State Park

I wish we could have stayed longer. The place is absolutely beautiful and the campsites are paved and level. No sewer connection, but that was not a problem for us. The bathhouse was nice, although the shower head was a bit low for me. Not really a problem.

This place is just gorgeous and so serene! If you're a lake person, you have to come experience this! 🥰

Really breathtaking park. Beautifully maintained and the views are amazing. I don’t think I saw one piece of trash. Great place for families to have a picnic with room for children to play and covered tables. Nice playground, nice, safe neighborhood and easily accessible.

Mix of old and newer bathrooms but well maintained. Very, very friendly host. You can see a variety of wildlife or park resident mascot animals. lol
Reelfoot lake is massive and serious or recreation fishermen will have a blast staying here.

Super photogenic state park - specially before spring season where you see white dry broken trees around as well as inside the lake. Very nice scenic view. It's little off road from I55 and you'll have to drive on single lane road for about 30 min but it's worth driving for such an awesome view. There's no restroom with running water so you manage with the dry portable one only. No food options either nearby few miles.

I camped here for one night. The campground is lovely, paved spaces, some with full hookups. Lots of trees for shade and a lovely breeze off of the lake. There is a resort next door with a restaurant and bar. The restrooms and showers were very clean.

Nice park, with unique trees. The river cruise was closed but there are other boat rentals available from Boe's landing. Without the boat tour it is difficult to appreciate the beauty of this park. The birds, especially the bald eagle was a nice touch.

a really beautiful park; very well upkept and managed compared to other state parks. the cypress and cottonwood trees are magnificient and the lake is stunning. feels like you are on the coast. I do wish there were more hiking trails though.

Very interesting and cool place to visit. Created by violent earthquakes back in 1811. Giant lake. Swampy areas. Large cypress trees. Eagles, cranes, lots of birds. There’s four trails that are good for beginners.

It was cold and very windy and as you see in the photos there was a lot of ice. This is a very beautiful place with lots of places to walk. There are many Eagles and the Cypress trees and just stunning. I was surprised as cold as it was how busy it was, but with it's beauty and easy access I can understand. The boardwalks are well built and I would assume could easily be used for wheel chairs.
The restrooms were clean and maintained as well.
If you have time, stop off and visit the beautiful Eagle that lives there. He is very attentive.

Beautiful area and seeing the Eagles are awesome! I would suggest you bring binoculars and would almost suggest you do the guided tour rather than the self guided tour due to the directions being confusing and GPS losing service, we ended up all over the place!

Definitely a five star destination! I stayed in a spotlessly clean cabin with ample premium linens and a full kitchen with modern appliances and plenty of plates, glasses, pots, and pans. One step out of either the front or back porch,(both of which had lovely seating areas) and there’s Reelfoot Lake, with pelicans, no less!!! I couldn’t believe what a bargain this place was!!

We enjoyed camping at Reelfoot Lake State Park. The campground is nice and the bath house was clean and had nice, hot water. We rented kayaks at the check-in station for a few hours and really enjoyed it!

At the Park Visitor Center, we took a sunset boat tour. Ranger Douglas did an amazing job and we loved the tour! We were able to take some great sunset pictures, saw a couple of eagles, and saw many Osprey and other birds.

I would have like to spend more time here. They do have a lot of options to do, and some with a tour guide! Ferry ride on the Mississippi river, or go watch the eagles on the Northern section. Their is a guide that will get you closer to where they are, to view.

Beautiful lake and Cypress Trees. Check out the Museum and Boardwalk!Campground has some nice shaded sites. #83 is nice level lot with shade.

Most Beautiful spot on Reelfoot Lake. Cypress trees with their knees are always mesmerizing.

One of my favorite places. Friendly and knowledgeable staff available at the park and all types of activities.

I preferred the boardwalk hikes due to the excessive amount of wildlife. This is the only naturally occurring lake in TN and the state park has some cabins and its great for birding and fishing. Per the visitors center, there are a lot of endangered or rare creatures in this ecosystem.

Excellent campsites, price, spacing and views! Firewood is $6.
Best spots are 2, 3 & 15-20. All by the water. 2 functional bath houses that are cleaned every morning.

Kayak rentals and boat ramp are by spots 2 & 3. Convenient and great spots for us kayakers but you're gonna have a lot of foot traffic. The campground was packed out but everyone was respectful, nice and quiet.

# 15 is by the pavilion so if you're tent camping, you have a dry place to hang out if it rains.

But the best spot is # 20. No foot traffic and private, by the water and not far from the bathhouse.

Next door, within walking distance from spots 2 & 3, is the resort and restaurant, Blue Bank Fish House, with excellent comfort food and waterfront views! (See my review for Blue Bank Fish House) Don't forget the mosquito repellent!

My husband is from Union city. We got married on Reelfoot lake in 2017, we try to visit at least once when we come to visit the family. This year we were fortunate to rent a house on Sunkist beach for a few days after Christmas, the kids enjoyed seeing the animals and the view was beautiful.
