    I'm a TN girl and I appreciate the fact you are enjoying our state. A little history on Rhea Springs Campground...it def IS a beatiful place but for a long while the overseers did not stay on top of the campground. A year ago the campground was filled with junky abandonded rv's, meth labs and strewn garbage. FINALLY, the folks in charge ran the crappy people off, cleaned it up and made it great again. I hope like heck they continue monitoring the area so we can all enjoy it. Thanks for the review.

      rhondalyn100 I just visited the area and it was pretty good but there were two spots that appeared to be permanent with a ton of junk around. I hope they don’t let it go again

My wife agreed to go along with me and live out of the back of my pickup truck. on the way from Nashville to shows in eastern Tennessee and the Carolinas, I recalled seeing this video last year. We decided to stop at Rhea Springs. It was beautiful. We had a couple days to kill so we got some R&R before heading east. I wouldn't have been aware that this place existed if not for your channel.

Had to laugh at the pups, lol that was a great chew stick lol....I had a couple of dogs yrs ago, couldn't take them fishing unless we tied them up. Every time you would cast out the line, in they went chasing it..another time, had my pole propped up on a Y and some big fish grabbed it, tool off and zinggggg went the rod and reel out across the lake and sunk! ughhh! So glad you found an awesome Free spot to spend some time. Shhhhh none of us will tell...........
