Located just below an RV Campground. Rangers were there checking life vests. They patrol the area. Leave a note in windshild with campsite information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Notes:<\/strong> The entire island is covered in a soft carpet of pine needles, with pine trees providing shade throughout the campsite. There\u2019s a designated flat area for pitching tents, with a small fire pit nearby. Some firewood had already been left at the site, and there appeared to be additional fallen wood available.<\/p>\n<p>A small boat landing near the center of the island provides a convenient place to pull up and secure your kayak. The island is completely shaded, making it a pleasant place to camp.<\/p>\n<p>Cell service was unreliable. Although my phone displayed 5G with two bars, actual reception was hit or miss. Sometimes I had a connection, and other times I couldn\u2019t get service at all. Don\u2019t count on having dependable cell service while camping here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"camp-card\">\n<div style=\"width:100%; height:450px; margin:20px 0;\">\n  <iframe\n    src=\"https:\/\/caltopo.com\/m\/KNC6HFH\"\n    width=\"100%\"\n    height=\"450\"\n    style=\"border:0; border-radius:8px;\"\n    loading=\"lazy\"\n    title=\"Tim's Ford Little Island Kayaking Map\"><br \/>\n  <\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"camp-card\">\n<h3>&#x1f4ac; Questions?<\/h3>\n<p>Have a question about this campsite, trail, gear, or field notes?<\/p>\n<p>  <a class=\"camp-button\" href=\"\/p\/questions.html\"><br \/>\n    Ask a Question<br \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tim&#8217;s Ford Little IslandWinchester, TN &#x1f449; Visit Official Website &#x1f333; Hammock Friendly Yes &#x1f525; Campfire Friendly Yes, fire ring &#x1f4f6; Cell Service AT&amp;T 1 bars (iPhone), 2 bars (Android) &#x1f697; Man-made Noise During the day, boat traffic &#x1f438; Wildlife Frogs, owls,water birds &#x1f332; Privacy High Season \/ Temp Late Summer \u2022 81-77\u00b0F &#x1f3d5;&#xfe0f; Site Type&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3,9,6],"class_list":["post-4588312867178836134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-campsite","tag-kayaking","tag-tennessee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4588312867178836134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4588312867178836134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4588312867178836134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4588312867178836134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4588312867178836134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyhiketn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4588312867178836134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
