Chester Frost Park

I have setup multiple picnics here for clients, and it's always lovely. Great view, and a cool spot to hangout, even if you're not swimming. My clients always love the location & it's nice to put my feet in the sand while I'm working. There is also a few places to sit on the dock and fish or just relax. The beach area is usually really clean, but on the busier days, people can be messy, and that's unfortunate, but it doesn't happen often. The splash island inflatable is pretty cool, and they also have a playground the kids can play on. They usually have the concession stand open during splash island hours and there are drink machines as well. Bathrooms nearby & plenty of places to sit and eat. I highly recommend Chester Frost if any of these things sound appealing.

I had not been to Chester frost in over a decade. There are changes. Most notably the Nooga Splash floating inflated playground at the beach area. It looks fun, and has lifeguards, but I heard it was expensive. I went to kayak. The lake is large enough to get some good exercise in. The public use area was clean, with easy access to the water with my kayak. One drawback is that millionaires and billionaires seem to have bought every square inch of land around the lake and put mansions on it. No places to stop along the shore and pull out for a rest or snacks. It was all wild space and farm before. Now it's private boat ramps and two story boat docks everywhere. Except all the RV campgrounds. Good lake. Disappointing shoreline. Picnic area: Clean and sturdy.

We love this park. It was very nice and peaceful and had an inflatable water park for the kids. Anything you need they have it there for sale or for rent. Food, drinks, dippin dots, candy, bucket and sand shovel, sunscreen, paddle board, etc. Only negative was they really need air-conditioning in the bathrooms. It was so hot in there. Playground: Has a great playground for the kids on the beach area. Restrooms: Plenty of restrooms but it was extremely hot in there during the summer. No AC or vents for air flow. They do have heaters for winter. Dog-friendliness: Very dog friendly. I saw several people there with their dogs playing fetch and swimming. Picnic area: Several picnic areas all around the park and plenty of room for you to throw down a picnic blanket.

Chester Frost park located in Hixon TN. Is an excellent place to spend a day or an entire weekend. Whether you just there for a day of picnicking, or camping for a few days. The place has plenty to offer. Beautiful and serene lake where to practice all your water activities like swimming. Kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boarding, canoeing, or just getting your feet wet. There's a beach area for the little ones, or you could just choose a shady spot, and throw your blanket, set your camping chairs, and access the lake from there. There's also some picnic tables spread out, and a pavilion for large gathering. There are bathrooms available as well, and plenty of parking. There also in front of the beach. A concession store, and boat rental place. And lastly but no least. Chester Frost park is the base for Nooga Splash obstacle water park, where the kids can have plenty of fun for one hour, or more depending on the package you buy. So if you didn't know this. Make plans, and head out to there this weekend. You'd enjoy it

This place was definitely beautiful. The pictures doesn’t do it justice. I didn’t go swimming but it was great just to sit there and enjoy the peace of the outdoors

Great place to spend the day swimming and cooking out. Very family friendly and secure with Hamilton County Park Rangers constantly patrolling. Only 4 Stars bc of there only being 3 grills for the entire day use area, inadequate parking and the price of the water playground! Playground: The playground is awesome but to me it's not worth $19/hr

This is our Happy Place.... Even with the rate increases, it is well maintained, secured by Rangers patrolling so your kids can play. A beautiful place. Playground: Lots of fun for the kiddos! Restrooms: Very clean bathrooms, separate individual shower rooms, both air conditioned in summer and heated in winter.

Sites are small and close, but well kept. Bathrooms and showers were clean. A Lot of boat traffic. Has a nice beach area and tons of spots to fish. Will visit again.

Site 225: We enjoyed our time here, mostly because we were at the end of the island and had very quiet neighbors. The lake is beautiful and honestly, any site on the island i think would be a good spot. The spots closer to the Ranger Station, are just packed too tight for us. The lake level was a little low because of winter pool, but the lake was still beautiful and even more walkable. Our spot had descent wifi provided by the campground. The electric pole and water spigot were very new and worked as expected. The website said our spot was level, it is NOT but it wasn't too bad. The tongue of our trailer was only about 8 inches off the ground when we finally got it level. While i totally understand the check in time is 2, i've never been to a campground that wouldn't allow you in within reason if you got there a little early. That said, it did warn us not to get there early on the website. We got there 20 minutes early, trying to beat the rain and they made us wait til 2 to checkin. I do think it could be a better park if they updated the bathroom by the graveyard and made a few other improvements but i do think they're working on it. I did like having a park trash can beside each site. The picnic table was in nice shape as was the grill and the whole outdoor area at our site. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beautiful place for pictures. Easy accessible boat ramps. Swimming area, overnight campsites available, beach area with sand and playgrounds, picnic tables available at no cost open pavilions great for parties or get togethers and one large closed pavilion which is great for large parties and weddings.
