Lord Alfred the Airstream Update No. 014

Harrison Bay State Park
Chattanooga, TN
BACK STORY:
More than a few months ago, I scheduled a little outing to 
visit with some Scottish Highland Cows!
The reservation was for 4, so we asked some friends to join in - 
We were all over the place about lodging, camping, going on to another camping event, etc... Friends are NOT campers. [Anymore.]
A few weeks before our reservation, 
another friend found a waterfall trail that looked fun...  
so we decided to take #LordALfredtheAirstream on this excursion - he's really not been out much for the past year...
Craig did a wonderful job cleaning him up - testing ALL the things - spraying for any [possible] spiders - making sure he could handle the trip, ETC.
The plan was to stay in Franklin, NC and Brevard, NC 
but at the last minute Craig was able to snag a water spot at Harrison Bay so we added an extra day on the way!
 From their website: Harrison Bay State Park is a 1,200-acre state demonstration park developed by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s along the shores of Chickamauga Lake. Opened in 1937, the bay gets it name from the now partially submerged town of Harrison, Tennessee. Harrison Bay State Park offers 128 RV campsites as well as 27 tent-only campsites for every type of camper. A Camp Store is also available for last minutes essentials.
  
We think the water front sites are wonderful - 
And the sunsets are gorgeous! 
 
I love the concrete pads and fenced decks...
Some sites are small - but it was perfect for our little B190 -
A picnic table is provide...
 
We enjoyed sitting out with our morning coffee before we took the short walk up to the bath houses to shower and head out for the day -
My take:
We enjoy camping here - although we've never done more than a quick overnight. It's close enough to Chattanooga to stay here and enjoy all the things downtown has to offer! Bath houses are clean, internet is great.
We'll be back, for sure!
