Horse Creek Campground
14 miles away
I live at horse creek and while it is very nice for rough camping and hiking it offers no fishing, white water rafting or skiing within an hour drive.  Davy crockett state park is not picturesque it is a big grass field with a very very small box called a cabin that davy crocket supposedly lived in.  Don't waste your time. There are much, much better places if you want fun and sightseeing.  If you want quite and picturesque, then by all means come to horse creek and don't forget to take your trash with you...it is of course my back yard...

Yes, it is dangerous, I have fallen and slid all the way to one of the small pools after the falls....Hike is very short and falls are very beautiful… You can also camp close the parking area if you want to....my parents took me to red fork falls last weekend. it is beautiful. it is a short hike and very easy to get to. the only problem is the trail brings you out at the top of the falls instead of the bottom. you have to be very careful because the rocks are so slippery. my dad said he knew several people who had fallen from the top and 2 of them had actually died. so be very careful....
