Lakeside Campground

Lakeside Campground offers two boat ramps providing convenient access to Little Barren Creek and Norris Lake near Union in Claiborne County. This is a full-service facility ideal for both day-use boaters and overnight visitors. The ramps are noted for easy accessibility to parking—a significant advantage compared to many other area launches. The campground includes covered shelters, picnic tables, electric and water hookups, and grrill facilities, with group camping available by reservation.

This location works well for kayakers and canoeists exploring the scenic creek environment, as well as motorboaters accessing Norris Lake. The surrounding area offers hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities along the water. Note that camping and pavilion use require advance reservations; contact the facility directly for current rates and availability. The relatively calm waters of Little Barren Creek and Norris Lake make this a suitable access point for paddlers of various skill levels.
