| State Park Overview: |
 | Cumberland Mountain State Park is situated on the Cumberland Plateau, a segment of the great upland, which extends from western New York to central Alabama. It is said to be the largest timbered plateau in America. This 1,720-acre park was acquired in 1938 as a project of the Farm Security Administration to provide a recreational area for some 250 families selected to homestead on the Cumberland Plateau.
The Homestead Museum, located one mile from the park, depicts the Cumberland Homestead Community of the 1930's. This community built the park along with help from the CCC and WPA. |

Perfect for All Ages !
Perfect vacation or one day trip for people of all ages. Absolutely beautiful and this park has it all. Hicking, camping, cabins, scrumptous food, swimming, etc. The perfect remedy for rattled nerves, makes the coming week less stressful. The staff is ultra friendly and helpful.

Wonderful experience camping here
We tent camped in area #1 of the campground. Very nice bathhouse/restrooms nearby. Good hiking trails, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, etc. Nearby Crossville was nice to visit. Would visit here again. Recommended.
