Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE CAMP

Raised platform, fire ring and a place to cook

E3 centers on a raised tent platform with an adjacent picnic table and a fire ring equipped with a grill, giving campers a defined outdoor living and cooking area beneath the trees.

THE UTILITIES

30‑amp electrical hookup without water or waste hookups

Sites at Lake Leatherwood labeled E include electrical service (30 Amp) but do not provide water or waste hookups at the pitch—expect to rely on nearby spigots and the bathhouse for water needs.

THE FACILITIES

Bathhouse and accessible restrooms nearby

A bathhouse serves the campsites and there is an accessible restroom facility nearby (with a handicap‑accessible restroom located by E1), keeping personal comforts within an easy walk of E3.

What the day feels like

What staying at E3 feels like

The stay is uncomplicated and focused on the outdoors: arrive to a defined campsite with power for lights or small appliances, set up on the raised platform or park a compact van, build a meal over the grill‑equipped fire ring, and walk to the bathhouse and restrooms when needed—the infrastructure keeps the focus on the lake and surrounding woods rather than on campground chores.
