There is not admission / entry fee for the park. Yes its well worth the 30-45 minute drive I think ,you will love the views on the trails ! I’m not a hiker but have driven around a lot and seen trail head’s everywhere. If I remember right there is at least one in the campground area This is from the web site “The park has 17 different hiking trails covering more than 30 miles of terrain at all levels of difficulty. Hikers can enjoy magnificent views of Cherokee Lake and the Cumberland Mountains “ Hope this helps ? Happy hiking!

Yes I-75 N from Chattanooga to I-40E to exit 8, exit onto 25E toward Morristown to 11E. All roads accommodate large trucks, however the road to the park is about 3 to 4 miles of 2 lane access but still ok. Once at Panther Park the road to the penticle is steep and winding that is the part with the views. Couldn't drive through park easily, have to park and walk. You could drop the trailer off at exit 8, there is a Cracker Barrel right there with a large truck parking lot behind it and take only your truck. Truckers park and leave rigs and trailers there daily, that would be best.

Yes on leash.

Yes

we camp there all the time. WiFi is very sketchy at best, but still our favorite Campground

I agree with Deb C. If they allow it, it sure has some nice settings for an outdoor wedding or at least the ceremony. Good luck!

Yes I think you can tent camp there.
