Candlelight Family Camp Out is back! Join us July 23–26 at Thimbleberry Group Campground in beautiful Farragut State Park for a relaxed weekend with your Candlelight family.

We will have a few optional activities throughout the weekend, including fireside worship, s’mores, and baptisms, but the schedule will stay light so families can enjoy plenty of time to rest, visit, swim, hike, nap, and enjoy the outdoors.

Please note: Thimbleberry Group Campground is designed for tent camping. A limited number of RVs may park in the group camp parking lot for dry camping only. There are no RV hookups available.

Location: Thimbleberry North, East, and South Campgrounds at Farragut State Park. These group camp areas adjoin one another.
