FAQ

Where is the closest river access to your park?

Polecat Ramp is the closest river access. The address is 29302 Loudon Hwy, Loudon, TN 37774.

Do you have a boat ramp or boat docks?

We’re excited to announce the planned development of our own boat ramp and docks during the 2026 season!
In the meantime, we’ve partnered with Tennessee National Marina to provide convenient access for our guests. TN National offers 72 uncovered slips, which are available for overnight docking or reservations of up to two weeks. They can also assist with parking for boat trailers, as parking at our location is very limited. Tennessee National Marina is approximately 10 miles from Watts Bar Lake Jellystone Park. The drive typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes, making it a convenient option for guests needing boat slips or parking for their trailers.

For safety and liability reasons, guests are not permitted to bring any personal motorized vehicles, such as golf carts, into Jellystone Park™. While we do not like to be the fun police, guests found in violation of this policy may be asked to leave without refund.

How many cars are permitted at my site, and may I have extra cars?

You may have two cars per campsite or cabin, but each car should have a car pass hanging on the rearview window. These are given with your reservation materials.

For two pets, there is a flat fee of $50. Pet owners are required to bring a leash for their pets and are responsible for pet clean-up and noise control.
