A walk-in tent site is a site where you park your vehicle in a general parking lot and then walk-into to campsite. The distance from parking lot to sites is about yards. So you have to transport your items by cart bring your own or by hand and on your back. We always keep a small luggage dolly in our gear, so I'm always prepared.

Just click on the word "Cached" below on the website listed and you're there. Or do your own search. When we were there, the place was packed with RVs and saw them only when we drove in. Never ever heard a generator the entire time. We will be going back next year in early summer. Their season is mid-May to Oct 1. Good luck, get outdoors.

Click on the amazon link at the top of this page, go to the book section and order a book entitled: Pick your state or states where you might find yourself tent camping and get a copy soon. There is even a book on tenting sites in the great state of Ill. I don't believe tent campers are a minority, I believe we are the silent majority!
VDF I already have the Illinois copy of this book. A good book but not a Tent Only Campground Guide. At least not the Illinois version. Now I realize that each state is done by different authors so could be totally different in their presentation. Illinois's guide is more about finding campgrounds where the tent areas are seperated or more secluded. This next year I hope to get out and at least check out a couple of the recommendations of this book. S, I've begun the quest in all sections of the country.
I know there has to be a few tent only sites in your great state too! Thanks for sharing, pard Let us know how your camping goes next season if you get to check out any of those sites you mentioned. I doubt an RV could drive up to the Mt. Mitchell campground,it's a steep climb ,but a car will make it easy.

I have been lucky so far I always have the RV's at least 7 sites away It is the site of a Civil War battle, on the Mississippi River.
All sites are tent, no electric hook-ups, with "branch water" hose bib scattered around. It's basically camping out of your vehicle, and "a little out of the way", meaning it can be a little hard to find. It is a couple of counties yes, I said counties north of Memphis. I think this would be considered on-topic: Maple Tree Campground a private campground They have tent sites, yurts, and tree houses! I spent President's Day week-end there and can't wait to go back.
Fort Wilderness, at Disney World has two loops that only allow tents and pop-ups tents on wheels. The rest of the campground is full of RVs but at least they have several loops that don't allow them. The tent loops are a nicer environment since people are mostly outside and it feels more like real camping. I may seem like a lameo for posting on such an old thread but if you go tent camping bear in mind if your camp groung doesn't offer a pottyshed you may have to resort to catholes or pootubes. Catholes are easy to dig and easy to cover up. Pootubes can are filled as you do your buisiness and need to be emptied at a proper facilty that can accomodate the material within.
They can be made from 6" PVC. For more Specific info you can google the word pootube or even pooptube for camping. I may even make a photo series on how to make one and put it on this website.
