Looking for suggestions on places to camp in Tennessee?

I have done some research online and have found a few state parks that look lovely… Fall River Falls for example. I was just hoping for any more suggestions from people who have more familiarity with the area than I do. Our final destination is going to be Atlanta and we are starting in Wisconsin. We are looking to do some hiking, climbing, swimming and tenting.
Fall Creek Falls is wonderful. The falls are incredible.
Another one to check out is Tims Ford State Park in Estill Springs/Winchester. It has cabin rentals too, and offers boating, golf, swimming, bicycling, and nature programs. It is only about 15 miles off I-24 (take the Manchester exit to TN-55).
If you want something less up scale, check out Old Stone Fort State Archeaological Park in Manchester. It has tent camping, golf course, archeaological museum, hiking, and is on a river gorge. Just a mile or so off I-24 but very remote.
