See All Available Dates

You can now view all available dates, up to a full year ahead, of any facility that is showing unavailable for your selected dates. Unavailable facilities are shown on the map or list as gray icons.

Show Available Dates

The description window of any unavailable facility includes a large blue button with "Show Available Dates". Use this button to reveal an interactive calendar that shows every available date for that facility — allowing you to easily change your dates so you can reserve that favorite facility.

This will also reset your selected dates so that you can select more than one facility for the same date.

If you need assistance making facility reservations, please give us a call. We'll be happy to help!

Picnic Shelter Use Policies

• Bounce houses and other inflatable equipment are NOT permitted on park property.
• When decorating for different events: make no permanent marks on the buildings or trees (no nails or staples) and remove all tape and decorations before leaving. Also, secure all balloons and pieces as they can be detrimental for wildlife. No rice, bird seed or artificial flowers can be used.
• Help us maintain the beauty of the park by placing all trash in the containers provided.

Picnic Shelter Reservations Policy

Picnic shelters or pavilions may be reserved with a paid reservation fee. Online reservations are available up to one year in advance. Groups may contact the park directly for reservations up to two years in advance.

Cancellations should be made online or by calling the park directly during normal business hours. Cancellations may not be made via voicemail, email or social media.

• There is a $5.00 cancellation fee for picnic shelter or pavilion reservations cancelled 8 days or more in advance of the reserved date.
• Reservations cancelled 7 days or less in advance of the reserved date forfeit all paid fees.
• Refunds to credit / debit cards can take up to 7 days.
• If payment is made using a gift card, please retain this gift card in case you cancel your reservation. Any refunds must be made to the original gift card.
• If this reservation is part of a contracted group, then the contract's cancellation policies supersede the above individual cancellation policies.

TDEC / TN State Parks reserves the right to cancel a reservation and/or contract anytime with 100% refund of all monies received for the reservation.
