Stinking Creek Campground
Saturday, December 23, 2023
| Other Names | North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area, North Cumberland WMA, Sundquist Unit, Cumberland Mountains, Campbell County |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This RV campground offers direct access to the North Cumberland WMA, a 900+ multiple use trail system that forms long loops and takes riders near abandoned mines, remote waterfalls and large rock boulders. This trail system is huge, so plan to stay at least several days.
The property offers both back in and pull through sites with full hookups, plus a fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rental home. Other amenities include a bathhouse with two bathrooms and free trail maps. Firewood and ice can be purchased onsite and a guided tour service is available (call for details).
Visitors should note that a TWRA Permit is required to ride the North Cumberland WMA Trails, which can be purchased through local vendors or online prior to entry.
