Project Phoenix Returned Lillydale Campground from War Zone to Popular Getaway Spot

ALLONS, Tenn. (April 26, 2012) – Lillydale Campground on the shores of Dale Hollow Lake features beautiful waterfront campsites and is a favorite getaway spot for thousands of campers every year. With its breathtaking wide-open views, it’s hard to imagine that just over a decade ago it looked more like a war zone than a favorite camping destination. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District closed the campground for the entire 2001 recreation season when an army of southern pine beetles infested 1,200 mature loblolly pine trees that provided plush shade for visitors. Another 300 pines were also removed from nearby Willow Grove Campground, but it remained open. Also available in high definition.
