Knoxville Campground

43 RV Sites

Knoxville Campground in Clinton, TN, offers 43 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 83 feet. Sites are grouped by amp service and orientation: back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric 30-amp, pull-thru 30-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp. Sites carry water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The park is rated big rig friendly and the 83-foot maximum accommodates long coaches with a toad. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, propane fills, and firewood cover the practical side, with WiFi across the grounds. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Recreation includes an outdoor pool, a game room and arcade, a fitness center, a clubhouse, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and walking trails, with lake and boating access nearby. Clinton sits about 10 miles north of Knoxville off Interstate 75 in Anderson County, near Norris Dam and the Museum of Appalachia. Rates and site-type availability are on the booking page. Late arrivals should note the campground's after-hours policy, which is covered in the park's FAQ — worth reading before a long driving day.

Old Mill Camp

23 RV Sites, 2 Cottages

Old Mill Camp in Cookeville, TN, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites and 2 cottages, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. The maximum rig length in the record isn't reliable, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. A general store, firewood, WiFi, and a playground cover the essentials. The property is gated and guests are issued the code at booking. Pets are welcome. Walking trails and hiking fill the grounds, and the general store is a genuine one rather than a vending nook. Old Mill Camp sits directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, on Blackburn Fork Road. From I-40, take Exit 280 toward Baxter and Gainesboro and head north on Highway 56, following the directional signs. The falls are among the most dramatic swimming holes in Tennessee. Rates for sites and cottages are on the booking page. Cummins Falls limits gorge access by permit in season — check that alongside your reservation.

Twice Is Nice

15 RV Sites

Twice Is Nice in Englewood, Tennessee, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites in McMinn County's southern hill country, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 70 feet. A single 20/30/50-amp full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with themed cabins, walking trails, a pond, and sports courts. Fifteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits. One consistent category covering all three amperages means any rig plugs in without an adapter and there is no guesswork about what you booked. Seventy feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — genuinely generous for a park this size. Accessible sites are available. Themed cabins round out the lodging. Walking trails, a pond, and sports courts fill the grounds, with horseshoes and volleyball besides. A river is nearby. The amenity set is deliberately small-scale, which keeps rates accessible and suits a quiet retreat. Pets are welcome. Englewood sits in the river country between the Hiwassee and the Ocoee, which puts an unusual concentration of whitewater within a short drive. The Ocoee hosted the 1996 Olympic whitewater events and remains one of the most popular rafting rivers in the country, while the Hiwassee offers gentler floats. The Cherohala Skyway begins at Tellico Plains just east — 43 miles of high-elevation mountain road through the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests — and the Great Smokies are within reach. Summer rafting season and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead for June through October.

Yeary Valley Farms

4 RV Sites, 4 Tiny Houses

Yeary Valley Farms in Speedwell, Tennessee, offers four full-hookup RV sites and four tiny houses on a working farm in the Appalachian highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Themed cabin rentals, farm animals, and a pond make this a farm stay rather than a conventional campground. Four back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits. Four tiny houses and individually themed cabins serve guests without a rig — the themed units are much of the appeal here. At four RV sites, availability is genuinely limited, so book well ahead. Pets are welcome. The farm setting carries the experience, with farm animals on the property and a pond for fishing. Hiking, boating, and stargazing run from the area, and the dark rural sky at this elevation is worth an evening on its own. The position is unusually good for outdoor recreation. Norris Lake — Tennessee's finest fishing lake — has a public boat launch two miles away, and the Royal Blue Wildlife Management Area's extensive ATV and UTV trail network is 12 miles out. Off-roading is nearby, which draws a steady share of guests. The farm sits right off Highway 63 in Speedwell, with Flat Hollow Marina, Blue Springs Hollow Boat Dock, Powell Valley Resort, a Sunoco fuel station, and a Dollar General all within short distance. Summer lake season and fall riding weather drive demand. With four RV sites and four tiny houses, reserve as far ahead as you can.

Cumberland Falls RV Resort

25 RV Sites

Cumberland Falls RV Resort in Parkers Lake, Kentucky, offers 25 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, at the gateway to one of the Appalachians' most extraordinary natural wonders. Premium WiFi, golf cart rentals, a lake, and a fishing pier serve guests exploring the Daniel Boone National Forest. Twenty-five sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. A general store, restrooms, showers, firewood, and both standard and premium WiFi handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. A lake and fishing pier sit on the property, with a river and creek running nearby. Sports courts, pickleball, horseshoes, corn hole, walking trails, a pavilion, and a dog park fill the grounds, with golf cart rentals to cross the property and planned activities through the season. Hiking, whitewater rafting, canoeing, kayaking, stargazing, and birding all run from the area, with boating and a casino nearby. Cumberland Falls is the reason to come. The 125-foot-wide curtain of the Cumberland River plunges 68 feet through a sandstone gorge and produces a moonbow visible by full moon light — a phenomenon found in only a handful of locations worldwide. The state resort park, the Daniel Boone National Forest, and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area all converge here, with SomerSplash Waterpark and Wildcat Off-Road Park nearby. Full moon weekends draw moonbow viewers specifically. Reserve well ahead for those dates and for October foliage.

The Point Campground & Farm

19 RV Sites

The Point Campground & Farm in Nancy, KY, offers 19 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come in two sizes, large and small back-ins, both taking 20, 30, and 50-amp service and carrying water, sewer, and electric. The campground is rated big rig friendly and the 70-foot maximum on the large sites handles long coaches. Choosing between large and small at booking takes the guesswork out of fitting your rig. Pets are welcome. This is a working 100-acre farm campground rather than a resort — the appeal is space, quiet, and a rural setting that most lake-area campgrounds can't offer. Nancy sits in Pulaski County near Lake Cumberland, in the agricultural and lake country of the Cumberland River highlands, with a national park unit close by. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask about year-round and long-term arrangements if you're planning to settle in.

Top of the World RV

5 RV Sites

Top of the World RV in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites on upper and lower levels with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, at the gateway to the Cherohala Skyway. Two practical notes before you book: AT&T is the only cell service on site, and there are no bathhouses. Back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp across upper-level and lower-level categories, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The absence of bathhouses means this park suits self-contained rigs with their own facilities — worth knowing rather than discovering on arrival. Cell coverage is AT&T only, so guests on other carriers should plan around WiFi. Laundry, a dump station, firewood, and a community fire pit handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. On-site amenities stay minimal with corn hole on the grounds, and the setting does the work. The upper and lower level layout takes advantage of the terrain, and the views are the reason for the name. Tellico Plains sits in Monroe County at the southern terminus of the Cherohala Skyway on TN-165 — a 36-mile mountain drive that ranks among America's most celebrated scenic byways. The Hiwassee River's wild trout fishing and the Citico Creek Wilderness are close, giving the most concentrated southern Appalachian backcountry access available from any campground in the eastern Tennessee mountains. October foliage on the Skyway is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Escape With Us RV Resort

26 RV Sites

Escape With Us RV Resort in Somerset, Kentucky, offers 26 full-hookup RV sites in the Lake Cumberland corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A premium pull-through category with a private deck joins premium and standard back-in tiers, with a dog park, playground, boat storage, and food trucks. Twenty-six sites span back-in, premium back-in, and premium pull-thru with deck categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits. The pull-through with a private deck is a genuine find — outdoor living space built into the site rather than something you set up yourself. A laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, boat storage, and food trucks handle the practical side. A dog park, playground, and inflatable water toys fill the grounds. The amenity set is deliberately focused, and the thoughtful details — the deck, the boat storage, the food trucks — are what distinguish this from the region's more functional waterfront parks. Pets are welcome. Pulaski County sits on Lake Cumberland, one of the largest reservoirs east of the Mississippi with more than 1,200 miles of shoreline and a houseboating culture that defines the region. The striped bass fishery is among the best in the country, Cumberland Falls — the only regularly occurring moonbow in the Western Hemisphere — is close, and the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounds much of the area. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand on Lake Cumberland and fills the corridor. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day, with the spring and fall striper runs offering easier availability.

Creekside RV Park - TN

106 RV Sites

Creekside RV Park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, offers 106 full-hookup RV sites along Walden's Creek, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. Creekside categories at both amperages join standard full-hookup and pull-through tiers, with a lazy river, outdoor pool, zip line, and mini-golf. One hundred six sites span 30-amp full hookup, 30-amp creekside full hookup, 50/30-amp full hookup, creekside full hookup 30/50-amp, and pull-thru full hookup categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The creekside categories put you on the water and are worth requesting early. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Rates run by season — roughly $55 for 30-amp and $60 for 50-amp in early spring, rising to $60 and $65 through the summer, with separate fall pricing. A lazy river and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a zip line, mini-golf, pavilion, walking trails, and on-site dining filling the grounds. The creek supports fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, with hiking, biking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, live music, and productive birding nearby. A golf course and skiing are close. Four miles from Dollywood puts the resort inside the most entertainment-dense corridor in the southern Appalachians, with the national park's 521,000 acres just beyond. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

The Ridge Outdoor Resort

140 RV Sites, 6 Tiny Houses

The Ridge Outdoor Resort in Sevierville, Tennessee, offers 133 full-hookup RV sites and six tiny houses across more than 50 acres three miles from Pigeon Forge, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 83 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and pickleball courts. One hundred thirty-three sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 83 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-three feet is exceptional in the Smokies, where terrain usually limits length, and two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Six tiny houses round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, golf cart rentals, a pond, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and swimming run on site. Pets are welcome. Fifty acres is a lot of room for 133 sites, and the spacing shows — this is a luxury outdoor resort rather than a dense campground, with mountain scenery in every direction. Pigeon Forge is three miles off, which puts Dollywood, the Parkway, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance all within a short drive while keeping the resort itself out of the traffic. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Smokies, with the Christmas season drawing a strong third wave. Reserve well ahead for June through October.

Appalachian Springs Outdoor Resort

69 RV Sites

Appalachian Springs Outdoor Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, offers 69 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 74 feet, near Dollywood in the heart of the Smoky Mountain corridor. Small and large basic and premium back-ins join pull-throughs, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and creek on the property. Sixty-nine sites span small basic back-in, small premium back-in, large basic back-in, large premium back-in, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 74 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Sizing sites by both rig length and premium tier is genuinely useful — you pay for the space you need rather than a flat category. Cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a clubhouse, pavilion, walking trails, and dog park across the grounds and a creek running the property. The resort also serves as a wedding venue. Pets must be leashed or penned when outside your camper, and guests are asked to be considerate of neighbors. Pets are welcome. Pigeon Forge offers the most activity-dense day-trip range of any campground corridor in the eastern United States. Great Smoky Mountains National Park's trails, Dollywood's rides and festival programming, and the Parkway's entertainment and dining strip are all minutes away. Summer and October foliage drive the heaviest demand in one of the country's busiest tourist corridors. Reserve well ahead for both.
