Indian Boundary Overflow Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Tellico Ranger District of Cherokee National Forest in Tennessee, about 0.2 miles from the Indian Boundary Recreation Area. It sits within the Cherokee National Forest, which the Forest Service manages, and a fee is charged for stays. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically spring and fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tapoco, North Carolina, show October highs around 69°F with lows near 46°F, and April highs around 70°F. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. The Indian Boundary Recreation Area and the IBRA Lake Loop Trail are both about 0.2 miles away, and Indian Boundary Lake is about 0.6 miles off. For more time on foot, the South Fork of Citico Trail lies about 1.6 miles away.
