Scenic City RV Campground

Scenic City RV Campground in Ringgold, Georgia, is a family-owned campground on 10 wooded acres in Catoosa County — a peaceful, tree-covered retreat in the northwest Georgia Appalachian foothills where the pace of small-town northwest Georgia slows the urgency of the I-75 and US-41 corridors that give Ringgold its specific position as the gateway to Chattanooga from Georgia's northwest corner. The campground's wooded character and family ownership give it the unhurried campground personality that the 10 acres of trees and the Catoosa County countryside sustain at the edge of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga NMP's 5,300 acres of Civil War battlefield terrain and the Lookout Mountain-Signal Mountain recreation corridor that extends the Chattanooga metropolitan outdoor recreation footprint into the northwest Georgia ridgeline. Ten wooded acres of family-owned campground with the complete RV hookup infrastructure and tent camping give Scenic City the specific shaded, quiet character of an independent northwest Georgia property whose tree canopy and its family management give it the distinction from the highway commercial campground model that the I-75 Ringgold exit's proximity might suggest — the campground's wooded setting is the defining feature that guests return for, and the family ownership's maintenance of the property's natural character gives the park the consistent quality that the independent ownership specifically sustains. Pets are welcome. Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, four miles north of Ringgold in Catoosa and Walker Counties, is the oldest and largest military park in the United States — a 9,500-acre National Park Service property that preserves the Chickamauga Battlefield of September 1863 (the second-deadliest battle of the Civil War, with 34,000 casualties over two days) and the Chattanooga Campaign's Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge battlefields. The Chickamauga Battlefield's Visitor Center, the Wilder Tower's panoramic ridgeline view, and the seven-mile auto tour through the park's preserved woodland and monument landscape give the Catoosa County campground its most significant historical day-trip destination in the most significant Civil War battlefield park in the western theater of operations. Chattanooga, Tennessee, 12 miles north of Ringgold on I-75, is one of the most completely redeveloped mid-sized American cities of the past three decades — the Tennessee Aquarium on the downtown waterfront (the largest freshwater aquarium in the world), Rock City and Ruby Falls on Lookout Mountain, the Hunter Museum of American Art's bluff-top gallery above the Tennessee River, and the Walnut Street Pedestrian Bridge's 2,376-foot span over the river give the Chattanooga waterfront the outdoor and cultural tourism infrastructure that has made the city a model for mid-sized American urban regeneration. Scenic City RV Campground serves guests year-round in Catoosa County's temperate northwest Georgia climate, with the spring Civil War battlefield touring season from March through May, the summer Chattanooga recreation season from June through August, and the fall foliage season from October through November representing the three primary visitor demand cycles that the Ringgold campground's position in the Tennessee Valley and the northwest Georgia Appalachian foothills sustains. The Cohutta Wilderness, 35 miles southeast of Ringgold in Murray and Gilmer Counties, is the largest wilderness area east of the Mississippi River — 36,977 acres of southern Blue Ridge roadless terrain in the Chattahoochee National Forest. Reserve sites ahead for Civil War Memorial Day events and the Chattanooga fall tourism season.
