Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground - Campground in Chattanooga - 319 W Hills Dr, USA

We did the 2 hour canyon crawl tour: What an absolutely amazing experience!!! This is not for the faint of heart BUT if you want to face some fears, feel amazing about yourself and see something that will open your mind about our natural world FOREVER, then any of the caving experiences will easily do that for you. With the expertise for two tour guides, you are safely brought to a world you didn’t even know existed. Truly something I will never forget. The staff were the friendliest people that had a vast knowledge of the caving systems and everything inside of them (including many more facts about rocks and crystals.) You can’t beat the price either for what feels like a priceless experience. Thank you thank you thank you. AND SHOUT OUT TO MY MAN ERIC!!!!!!!!! Thank god he was there to make that unbeatable experience for me and my best friends that I “forced” to come. I know they were sure happy about it in the end.

Racoon Mountain Campgrounds were a pleasure to visit. It was close to several sightseeing spots and close to Chattanooga, so the conviniec can't be beat! The staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. When we visited, it was in the 30s, so the warm bathrooms were a nice touch! It was a little noisy at night, especially the last night when a camper decided to blast his music until 10:30 pm. Thankfully, the campgrounds has rules on noise, and he was shut down. The cavern tour was delightful and informative. Overall, it was a nice experience. We would visit agian!

This cave is absolutely splendid and just gorgeous! The ceilings are often low so it is quite cozy. It’s such an active cave too so it’s still growing! And full of very very small wildlife. I love that they tell you so much about the history of it as well, it’s connection to Ruby Falls down the road and the stories of the various owners they had when it was first opened. Our tour guide was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed the time with her. I’m very upset that I never caught her name to properly give her credit here.

Staff was great, location was awesome. Lots of amenities. The Caverns were right on sight and the tour was really fun and interesting. I have a 10 and 12 year old and it kept their interest. Trash picked up every day on time and the office stayed open late which was really nice. Cable was really good. Easy to get to Chattanooga and there was shopping nearby if you needed to pick up something that you forgot. Price was very reasonable. Overall we had a really great experience. Would definitely visit again.

This campground is well taken care of, all of the staff were attentive friendly and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed. Firewood was delivered to our campsite whenever we needed more. Trash was picked up from our site and the place was walking distance to the Cave which we enjoyed so much! The staff was having their annual Christmas party and invited us to attend with them. Don't miss the opportunity to stay here if you are close.

We didn’t camp but did the 45 minute cave tour. We were the last group of the day so there were only four of us that went through the cavern. Our guide was amazing & shared awesome history and facts of the cave. Weren’t money hungry or pushing us to pay for pictures & the guide took our picture for free. Definitely enjoyed the cave conservation experience vs the common money driven places. All around a great experience to finish our day in Chattanooga.

I would love to leave a better review. First of all, the campground itself is excellent. The camp sites were an adequate size for our pretty good-sized tent, though the ground is a bit rocky. Also, the bathrooms are clean, in great condition, and very conveniently accessible from the camp sites, along with a nice playground for the kids. There's an excellent set of hiking trails just off the cavern tour parking lot, which makes for a great activity option without having to go anywhere else in the area. Finally, the service from the manager and all other employees was impeccable on our visit. So why the lower rating? Unfortunately, the nighttime noise was a significant issue for us. First, the campground is not all that far from the city, which means you can hear trains blaring their horns as they come into the city all night long. *All* night long. And you can hear the trains playing bumper cars in the train yard somewhere off in the distance, as the cars slam into one another to engage their connections. Also, the area where our tent site was located is right next to a service road that leads through the campground to a private residence at the back of the property, which the homeowners used liberally late at night (their dog also got out and wandered into our camp site, but the dog was nice at least). The gravel noise from the tires and the light from their headlights came right through our tent easily, sometimes near midnight. I really wish the review could be better. If not for the noise, it would have been a perfect camping experience. If you can add some ear plugs and maybe a sleeping mask, or if you're a really heavy sleeper, this would be a great choice.

Been visiting Racoon Mountains Campgrounds for years now, both with an RV and having rented a cabin. They have pup friendly cabins as well! You seriously can't beat the location and atmosphere! They are now under new ownership and there is now unfortunately no longer access to the hiking trails from camp. It was truly one of the best experiences about staying there, being able to walk to the trail from your cabin and explore. I hope they are able to figure something out with the previous owner and bring the trails back. I always have to have my next trip planned to make leaving easier, already can't wait to come back!
