Old Stone Fort Traditional Cache

Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park was built during the Middle Woodland Period, circa 250 AD, nearly 1,500-2,000 years ago. Native Americans used this area continuously for about 500 years, eventually leaving it abandoned.
In 1966, the state of Tennessee purchased 400 acres of the Chumley estate, designating it the core of what is now Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park.
The above is a picture of a very cool bridge that crosses the Duck River heading to the campground.
There are 51 campsites with water and electrical hookups, grills, picnic tables and hard-surface pads that can accommodate a unit up to 50 feet in length. A dump station is open year around. One of the two restroom facilities includes showers, however that building is not open during the off-season, thus showers are not available at that time. Stay limit is two weeks.
Campsites are heavily wooded with separation between the sites. Camping is equally popular by both RV’s and tents/pop-ups. While the campground has a remote feel, it is actually within 10 minutes of a variety of restaurants. Also, a Manchester public pool is within one mile of the campground.
Lucky and I have camped here many times. It is one of our favorite camping sites in Tennessee.
Enjoy and be sure to bring a pencil with you.
