About
Upper Campground Closed (the park's notice, as of October 21, 2026): The upper campground remains closed due to significant damage to the bridge leading to the campsites from Hurricane Helene. We deeply regret the inconvenience and disappointment this may cause our visitors and are working as quickly as possible to reopen the upper campground for everyone to enjoy. Rangers will be enforcing park regulations, and anyone found crossing the barriers will be in violation of the rules and are subject to citation for entering a closed area. Roan Mountain State Park is a Tennessee State Park with 112 campsites available for camping.
