Sanders Mountain Campground
Forested mountain campground offering ridge views, woodland compositions, campsite scenes and dark skies for astrophotography.

Weekdays and shoulder seasons reduce crowds; bring layers and bug spray.

Rural Cumberland Plateau vantage: rolling farmland, wooded ridgelines and roadside vistas that catch layered fog and warm golden-hour light. Best at sunrise/sunset for long shadows and color; autumn offers peak foliage. Access is by country roads with limited pullouts — park off-road safely and respect private property. No formal entry; expect minimal facilities and occasional livestock. Check weather for misty conditions and local drone restrictions.
