The park map brochure (link below) calls this trail "Holston Bluffs" while the trail signs say "Holston Bluff". 


The overflow campground is closed summer of 2020. The park is discouraging parking near the gate. Regardless, you should never block the gate. You can begin the trail on the north side of the road before the west end of the bridge. The trail used to connect through the power line cut, but it washed away. You can meander your way through the power line cut but no real trail is well established. Simply head to the other side where the campground is located.
