About Chickamauga Battlefield Group Campground
Overview
THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC CAMPGROUND. SCOUTS AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS ONLY.
These sites are for overnight camping by organized non-profit (501c) youth groups (scouts, church youth groups) under adult supervision for the purpose of education of the historic resources of the battlefield. Due to limited space and facilities, camping for solely recreational purposes is not allowed. Groups must choose sites according to the size of their group.
Recreation
Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are popular recreation activities at the park. Groups may also request a ranger tour of the park or ranger-led activity. Chickamauga Battlefield contains around 50 miles of hiking trails. In addition, the park has developed a series of recommended trail routes highlighting specific stories within Chickamauga Battlefield. These hike routes are especially popular with scout groups as scouts can earn a badge for each hike. Bicycling is permitted on all paved roads and service roads within Chickamauga Battlefield. Please refer to trail maps for more information about specific trails where horseback riding is allowed. For inquiries about service projects, please contact Volunteer Coordinator Will Wilson at 706-866-9241 ext. 137 or will_wilson@nps.gov.
Facilities
A set of vault toilets are located between sites 3 and 4. Sites 1, 3, and 4 have water spigots with potable water. All sites are equipped with a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and lantern pole. There is an ampitheatre-style area in the campground that is available first-come, first-serve. Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center is 1.5 miles away by car and about 0.45 miles on foot.
Natural Features
Chickamauga Battlefield Group Campground offers tree-sheltered, flat tent sites. The campground is surrounded by a hardwood decidious forest. With over 9,000 acres of preserved land, Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park has many native plants and animals which call the park home.
Nearby Attractions
Chickamauga Battlefield Visitor Center is located less than 2 miles from the camping area by vehicle and 0.45 miles by foot. Again, these campsites are only available to organized youth groups and as such are not open to the public. There are a number of public and private campgrounds in the surrounding area.
