Beautiful state park. We visited while on Vacation in Crossville. I love that they have kayaks and canoes for rent as well as multiple hiking options.We are novice hikers (like, as baby as you can get). We chose the Pioneer Trail Short Loop because it was marked as easy and we felt 2 miles wasnt too bad. Well, it was definitely more than I bargained for. Its very beautiful, and I loved it. My feet werent so thrilled, or my lower back. It took us 2 hrs to complete (yep, slow and steady wins the race) and was rocky in parts, definitely uneven in others. I think if Id had been in better shape it wouldnt have been so difficult for me. Or, if I was more experienced (jump in the deep end much?). All this to say, if youve hiked like twice in your life, maybe choose the paved trail.Either way, It was still a good hike and very beautiful and we loved it.

Bride and I did the Pioneer trail - long route. It was great! I would rank the trail as moderate vs. easy due to the rocks & roots. We enjoyed the visit and will plan a return trip.

This is a great park for hiking, camping, or just relaxing with your family and friends.There are cabins to rent for longer stays and you can rent paddle boats and canoes to use on the small lake. There are places for RVs and camping as well.The dam is nice and theres hiking in that area as well.My friend and I come here once a year to relax and reconnect.

SUPER nice park!! Very clean and well kept. Campground was very well laid out. Shower facilities were awesome!! Close to town if you need anything.

Love this park! Stayed in a newly renovated CCC Cabin. The cabin was nicer than expected. Nice kitchen and a very comfortable bed. So blessed to have so many great state parks in Tennessee.

Absolutely loved our day trip to this state park. We hiked trails, saw huge fish, explored the dam and checked out the camping and cabins for future visits. We will be back with the whole family and stay a few days next time!

Very nice park! A great place to stop and walk around while out on a bike ride.

I adore this park. There’s plenty to do there like, hiking, camping, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, outdoor movie area, and simply exploring. We took one of the hiking trails after checking out the waterfall. We then at lunch, they have an amazing buffet restaurant and gift place. If you’re in the area or looking for a place to vacation, you must visit here.

What a lovely state park. I really enjoyed the hiking trails and look forward to visiting again

Spent our first time RV camping here. Really enjoyed spot 105 and our friends had 104. Great space, beautiful trees and trails, clean bathrooms. Not one thing to complain about!Photo is looking back on spot 105 and spot 104 in the background. Perfect for a duo!

Ate lunch there yesterday. This is a very attractive restaurant with a wonderful lake view. The service was great. Right now, they seem to be suffering from some COVID19 constraints. Basically, they were serving plate lunches. The only options were meatloaf and ribs served in a meat and two style. If that suits you, this is a good option. If you are looking for a more extensive menu or a buffet type approach, it just wasnt happening.

Took a long weekend to the Cumberland Mountain area, and made time to hike some of the trails within the Cumberland Mountain State Park area, and it was lovely.The trails we hiked were so varying. They have easy and comfortable paved trails for calm strolls, or more trail-like paths that lead around the lake and allow you to see more nature, and enjoy crossing several cool bridges.The park also offers rentals for things like Kayaks and paddle boats, meaning you can take the fun to the water if you are tired of hiking. Overall it was a lovely visit, and I would happily go again.

My BF and I havent been camping in the whole 7 years we have been together, luckily this campground was the best place to chose for our first time. The park was quiet and relaxing, it was so easy to make the reservation and it took no time for us to hookup the R.V. to power and water and get to relaxing. We really needed to get back to a calm state of mind, this Park helped us to get to there. Highly recommended !!

Always a great place to visit, relax, hike and just about anything. With 6 kids the different playgrounds and easy hiking trails are perfect. Not to mention hanging out by the lake to chill out. Fishing is usually pretty easy too. Great place to take a lot of pictures!!

Love love it! Beautiful area. Very helpful ladies at visitors center.

The park was great. Though Im sorry to say that neither of the two visitor center employees were wearing masks.

We have one of the best St Parks! Its beautiful, well maintained and easy to navigate! Theres lots of plat areas for the kids and walking trails for everyone! The bridge is one of our many must-see icons as your traveling through the area!

Peaceful and tranquil setting at the lakeside. There also might be some kind of projection screen at the lake for outdoor movies.

Big place with lots of trails (up to 6 miles, I believe).They have a restaurant, a little inside museum, lake, 4 kids playgrounds, biking trail, swimming pool, recreational area, tennis court and camping area. Snack store and an owl “barn”. Even though we didn’t see them because of the timing. They also have a small outside movie theater right by the lake. The bridge is beautiful and trails around it are very green and gorgeous. I went on a hike right after rain and it was just magical. Camping spots are clean. Fire ring and stone table with benches at every site. Red cardinals and other birds all over. Gooses at the lake by the restaurant.Very impressive. Good place for family vacation.

My family are looking forward in coming back in every season and explore all thats available. Moving to the area in June.

I visit TN state parks all the time. I really enjoy their on site restaurants. The food is good and the service is exceptional.

We stayed here 3 nights and loved this place! Our kids did their first paddle boating and kayaking. We also traveled the trails that are clean. Our camp host was amazing and we loved her dog Gingersnap. The camps are close together and it was full everyday that we were there. There was a long line to dump our sewer. Would love to stay here again.

This place looks fun. Its beautiful and clean. Maybe someday well come back and have a picnic.

My first trip to Cumberland Mountain State Park. Very impressed with the trails. And, grest views around the lake.

Cumberland Mountain State Park is one of our favorite TN state parks. The camp sites are spacious, the personnel are friendly & helpful, & the views, especially around Byrd Lake are breathtaking! Love this park!!

It is great for families with small children. Nice flat trails with sites for the children. It also offers fishing and gmhas some great history to offer

Beautiful park! The ADA pathway is very well maintained. We really enjoyed our time spent here.

CMSP is a beauty! The campsites are very nice, and the staff are very friendly.But, the beautiful scenery tops all of that!

It is a beautiful park. All the staff is friendly. The boat dock workers were my favorite! Super friendly and helpful! It changes beautifully with the seasons!

Love this park, we have actually stayed 3 times since October 2020 and staying in campground #4 till they close. Great Volunteer Don & Donna, and Graciously Friendly Host in #3 Gary & Dawna.

Beautiful park wish I wouldve known about it sooner.

Great place to go. We take our lunch here whenever we are in Crosville. They have plenty of tables in the shade and in the sun.

Beautiful clean park! Wonderful place to hike around a lake.

Family friendly park with nice paved and dirt trails.

Good overnight hiking trail, clear directions, and pretty views. Trail crosses water multiple times. The campground facilities (gift shop, restaurant, lake, office, etc.) were very clean, pretty, and well kept up.

We stayed in the first loop, #2. Best hostess ever! The sites are slanted, so prepare to elevate your camper. However, the perimeter sites afford you a nice view of the woods.

This is a great place to visit for a relaxing time in the wilderness. There are play areas for the kiddos and trails for hiking. Some of the trails are even paved!

We were there for an afternoon picnic lunch. We quickly found a nice shady table to picnic at. After we ate, we hiked the paved trail around the lake, visited the aviary, and attended two informative nature presentations.

A great State Park with very helpful Personnel nestled on top the Cumberland plateau. The campground hosts kept our section of the campground (Section 5) in impeccable condition. Beautiful campgrounds, excellent trails, and a reasonably stocked boat dock with rental equipment are some of the amenities to be found. The pool was closed presumably for health reasons. Theyre highly rated restaurant was in pandemic mode. Normally an all you can eat buffet which changes daily was now a sit-down restaurant where the waitresses would go to the buffet to obtain the food that you requested. One of the jewels of the Tennessee Park system.

Absolutely lovely park. Lots of shade. Has everything from swimming, canoeing, camping and cabins, hiking nature trails and playgrounds. On top of that, add a dash of history to make it interesting and unique. Highly recommend.

Very beautiful ️ this time of year. Alot of people was but still spread out even that it wasnt crowded.

The more I reflect on it, the more I realize what a gem the park is. The trails are well marked and beautiful! The scenery is breathtaking. The dam is historic. The cabins look like such an amazing opportunity. Hope to return and do some more hiking soon.

Nice park. Easier trails. Most of the trails here are shorter. Family friendly. There is a cute little story book trail that is paved around the lake. Bugs were not bad when I went but park guide did warn about ticks and poison oak.

Lots of fun..easy trails filled with a few rocks and the evèr present roots

Clean and well kept, peaceful park.My kids loved the Canadian Geese

Nice trails that is not to over the top dangerous for kids and adults. Overall a well kept state park.

We just camped here for the 2nd time. We like this park. Its very close to Crossville & Fairfield Glade. The campground has some full hookup sites, lots of hiking trails ( my favorite is the Pioneer trail), a pool & a restaurant. There is a small aviary by the check-in w/ owls & a red tailed hawk. At night wed hear the owl!

Lovely park. We enjoy the trails with our children. They were very well marked. We traveled in a 43 foot motorhome and we were able to get in without issues. Some campsites are better than others and there are some sewer sites. Area 1 might be tight for big rigs. Keep that in mind. T-Mobile and AT&T signals in campsites ok. Didnt use their bathrooms so cant make any comments. No easy mountain bike trails for the children.

Love this place its peaceful and quiet have been coming here off and on for 8 almost 9 years

I finally made it back to the cabins at Cumberland Mountain State Park. I visited twice before with my family in 1967 and 1971. We only traveled in the dead of winter, which we all enjoyed being from South Florida. We enjoyed staying in the cabins both times. We hiked the woods and crossed rivers. The lake was always frozen when we were there in December. I always wanted to go back and visit in the Summer Time to see the difference. I revisited in the Summer of July 2016 and just noticed I did not make a post then. It was amazing to come back to see the difference. Nothing has really changed in the years since except there is more greenery and the paths are overgrown. It was fun to revisit a place from childhood memories.

My family really enjoyed our weekend at CMSP. We rented a rustic cabin which had more perks than I was expecting: fridge, stove, dishes and utensils, towels, blankets, heaters in each room, and a cozy fireplace. We came in late fall when its not busy and the kids enjoyed smores and hot cocoa by the fire and lots of hiking. There are several kid play areas nearby and the Homestead Harvest restaurant with a buffet is just a short walk away. Overall a great last-minute weekend getaway for the family!

Beautiful and peaceful campsite with tons of amenities and wonderful things to do from playground to golfing theres something for everyone here!

Would have given more stars if all the rv sites had sewer hook up. Limited spaces have them and to further complicate the situation, our site was very unleveled.

Beautiful lake to walk and theres plenty of picnic tables in the park and a great place for kids to play.

Beautiful. Went to a birthday party for a 12 year old at the pool. Very impressed with how clean and nice it is. The adults enjoyed it as much as the 4 year old.

We always enjoy the state park, ever since we lived in crossville etc. We will always come back and enjoy the scenic hike around ,especially during the winter seasons

This looks like a nice place to maybe spend the afternoon, doing some hiking, camping, or photography. When I was there, I didnt have a lot of time to explore, but Im definitely planning to go back. I think this place would be best in the spring or summer. I did take a few pictures of the dam, spillway, and waterfalls.

We love it!! Beautiful park with so much to do. Many of the cabins have been updated and remodeled. If you are looking for a weekend get away with something for the whole family, I highly recommend it.

We stopped at the visitors center to get past port stamped and to get information on the park . It was our first visit. We did a loop trail around the lake. The trail was beautiful. There was a bridge crossing the lake that was awesome. There was a boathouse where you can rent canoes, kayaks, jon boats and paddle boats.

Its a great place to unwind and relax I always enjoy staying there

Love the drive & falling leaves. Thank you State of Tennessee for a beautiful park

This and fall creek falls are my favorite state parks. Not as many hiking trails as fall creek falls, but there are many opportunities to explore nearby trails and waterfalls.

Beautiful landscape, well maintained lake and plenty of wildlife to see as you walk the trails!

Fun and cheap day out. Beautiful park. Very clean

Beautiful color on trees. Perfect weather. Friendly staff.

Positives- the campground and lake are very nice. There is a water pump and electrical hookup on site. The bathrooms are clean with hot water and private shower stalls. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The campsite was very quiet and family-friendly. The camp store and visitors area are a short walk from the camping sites. Negatives- camping is really set up for RVs. If youre tent camping you have to figure out how to pitch the tent over a gravel area and asphalt parking. It requires something else like a bungie cord to anchor the tent to a stake in the grass or something else solid. I wouldnt want to be in a tent here during a windy thunderstorm. You are also within 15 feet of the next camp site, so so on top of each other you can hear the neighbors conversations.

One of the most beautiful and serene state parks in Tennessee! A very beautiful place to camp and very peaceful. I’m always happy when I get a chance to go here. Plus there are lots of beautiful displays and a few animals as well that are native to the area. I would highly recommend the opportunity to give this park a visit and to help support Tennessee State Parks!

Quite wonderful place. Nice shelters. Plenty of playground equipment and hiking trails. Beautiful lake with stone bridge

Its super relaxing and the cabins are super cozy with awesome fireplaces and free firewood at hand

Very challenging golf course, especially from Black/Blue tees. All I can do to shoot decent 18 from the White. Love the layout of this course!

Excellent State Park! We stayed two nights in campground section 5 and everything was extremely clean and well kept with friendly and helpful staff.

Love this beautiful area!! Clean restrooms and park spaces.

Has alot of family fun. And a really nice restaurant as well as cabins to rent.

Highly recommended! The water is very calm for kayaking, canoeing, pedal boating, and fishing boat all for rent with very cheap price! And there is a wonderful buffet restaurant right in the park, $9 lunch per person during week days and about $12 for the weekends!

Large paved sites widely spaced. Restrooms spotless and grounds very clean. Stayed 3 nights. Verizon 1bar

A small gem on the Plateau. Just added a handicapped trail around the lake which is beautiful for a short walk with small kids or elderly. Mountian bike course one of the most challenging in Middle TN. Small aviary and lots of trails. It would be 5 star park if they upgraded the bathrooms next to the boat area and playgrounds, added crosswalks on both sides of the bridge and kept the lake trail better cut back and maintained.

It has been many many years since weve been to Cumberland Mountain State Park. But I do have a childhood memory of a family incident that happened there. Our parents took us to Cumberland Mountain State Park one weekend on our way to Chattanooga, where we used to live. Mom and the three children climbed up into the woods and, for some reason, Dad was not with us. All of sudden, we heard a animal cry like a lynx or a mountain lion, so the four of us hurtled down the hill, back toward the car, running as fast we could. When we reached the car, there was our Dad, laughing his head off, for it had been him who was making the animal noises. My mother was furious because she had been scared so bad that she had peed in her pants. We all used to recall with humor and alacrity that story of Cumberland Mountain State Park. We never went back to visit, by the way.

Always love going to park. The Rangers are the best!

Nice clean parkPlenty to do for kids and adults

Its an awesome waterfall. Really easy access to all the views, and staff were very nice. Only downside was the litter. Everywhere you looked there was trash. It was disheartening to see how some people treat nature.

Compared to the other TN state parks this one is very close in proximity in RV sites. A lot of dogs and children in a close space.We are dog people but the barking was constant. The bathhouse is closed 9-1030 am and pm for cleaning. The camp host does an excellent job of checking on people ,asking if she can help, and cleaning the bathouse. The smell of bleach is a wonderful thing.My review is based on the closeness of sites and weekend was very loud the quite hours were respected but daytime was very boisterous.

So quiet and beautiful here the spots are very nice and clean and its safe here Lovett what a blessed time we are having

This park was requisitioned in 1938 and is small in comparison to many others. There is a lot packed in this beautiful area. Yes it is older and bathhouses are in need of replacement but they are clean and in the process of sprucing up Dont let that stop you from enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The campground is small but cozy. The walking and hiking trails are beautiful dont miss the literacy trail! Enjoy the campground it is great for the young ones.

My daughter and I visited the park for the day and absolutely enjoyed it. Its beautiful, well maintained and plenty to see and do. There is a restaurant, campground, cabins, hiking, fishing, kayaking, bike riding, picnic area, and aviary. I highly recommend this area!

Absolutely beautiful park and restaurant! The food was Amazing and prices were very reasonable. Cant wait to go back

Love it! I go camping here every year. My family has been going there for more than 30 years. Lots of hiking trails, kayaks, canoes, and large swimming pool.

This place is amazing. There is so much to do and will have to return to do more. Come support the state parks you wont be disappointed.

Great trail running! Love the roots and rocks!

It was a great place to go see. If I was you I would get up and go. Its a great time. If you have kids take them to

Its a very beautiful park and it has a ton of walking trails.

Love this campground! The hike along Byrd Creek is fantastic...found a flower Ive never seen before. The campsites are well laid out, too. One morning I woke up to see a huge owl staring me down from a branch above my tent! Another night a white skunk came in my tent to rustle thru my suitcase!he wasnt at a scared of my wiener dog,but left calmly when I told him to leave.The camp has a great restaurant,too,if you want.Oh, also love the cabins!

Beautiful and playable in great condition just wish price was slightly better would play more

It beautiful park!! Good place to take family there!

Great place to take your family. My family has been going for over 50+ years. They are updating all that cabins and you can fish hike swim. Great place for family

Nice place to visit.

Great golfing and beautiful scenery. Good prices.

Really nice place, great for walking and a playground for kids

Great campground and trails. One of our favorite places!

The nicest camp bathrooms I’ve ever seen, and the camp hosts were lovely people.

Beautiful park with many playground options for the kids.
