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.

Eighty-two back-in sites span deluxe east, deluxe west, lakeside east, fifth wheel deluxe, fifth wheel lakeside, and fifth wheel standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Dedicated fifth wheel categories are genuinely uncommon and worth knowing about if that is what you tow. Six boat bungalows and tiny houses plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Check-in is 2pm and checkout noon, with early and late options for a fee. The marina anchors the property, with boat rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and fishing. An outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, golf cart rentals, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with live music through the season.

Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

49 RV Sites, 23 Cabins

The RV Park & Campground at Nashville Shores is situated on 385 wooded acres beside the stunning 14,000-acre Percy Priest Lake, just 10 miles from downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The resort provides a picturesque and expansive setting with quaint cabins and fully-equipped RV sites. Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort offers guests the convenience of easy access to both the tranquility of nature and the vibrant city scene with a variety of attractions on property. Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort offers 23 cabins and 49 RV sites spanning standard, lake view, lakefront, lakefront premium, and pull-through categories with each site offering concrete pads with patio and 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, WiFi, and a picnic table and fire ring at each site. Rigs accepted up to 45 feet, behind a gated entrance. The lakefront premium RV sites and lakefront cabins are worth requesting early as they tend to book up quickly. Recreation is extensive. A full water park with wave pool and lazy river anchor your summer fun. While the marina, boat rentals, and kayak/canoe/SUP rentals put guests on the lake for boating, fishing, paddle boarding, and water sports. A small lending library, walking trails, camper's swimming beach, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, dog park, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest, with live music and planned activities through the season. Amazing sunsets and strong stargazing over the water abound so be sure to have your camera at the ready. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and boat storage handle the practical side. Pets are always welcome in the RV campground and pet-friendly cabins may be booked over the phone. Your pups are sure to love the on site Pooch Park. One practical note for RV arrivals: GPS often routes you onto Mills Road after Exit 221 (Old Hickory Boulevard). Avoid that turn and follow the resort's posted RV directions instead. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Elm Hill RV Resort

Elm Hill RV Resort in Nashville, TN, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites carrying water, sewer, electric, and cable TV, with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. Every site is back-in only, 22 feet wide with a level pad, accommodating most rigs up to 50 feet — if yours is longer, contact the resort before booking. The grounds are gated, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, propane fills, and golf cart rentals. Pets are welcome. The water is what makes this unusual for a city park: a marina with boat docks, a boat ramp, and boat and kayak rentals, plus a beach, an outdoor pool, a pavilion, a playground, shuffleboard, and corn hole, with swimming, boating, kayaking, and picnicking. Nashville is known for many things, but not for a 14,000-acre lake lined with sandy beaches and marinas twelve miles from Lower Broadway. Percy Priest Lake is exactly that, and the resort sits on it. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Confirm your rig length against the 50-foot guidance before reserving; Nashville event weekends fill the resort.

Soggy Bottoms Campground

11 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Soggy Bottoms Campground in Liberty, Kentucky, offers 11 RV sites and three tent sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 120 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a general store, playground, showers, and creek frontage. Eleven back-in sites run in full-hookup and water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. One hundred twenty feet is exceptional capacity for a park this size and accommodates anything on the road with room to spare. Three tent sites round out the lodging, and the tent rate covers one tent — additional tents need to be added to the reservation. A general store, dump station, and showers handle the practical side. A creek runs the property for fishing and canoeing and kayaking, with a playground and volleyball filling the rest. A national park area is nearby. Pets are welcome. Casey County sits in south-central Kentucky's rolling farm and forest country, genuinely rural and quiet. Liberty is the county seat, and the area is close enough to reach several of the state's better outdoor destinations without staying in a crowded corridor — Green River Lake, Lake Cumberland, and the Daniel Boone National Forest are all within a reasonable drive, with Mammoth Cave farther west. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable Kentucky conditions, with summer drawing lake traffic through the region. Demand runs steadily rather than seasonally at a park this size. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Sasquatch Farm RV Park

Sasquatch Farm RV Park in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites and 11 tent sites across a 120-acre mountain farm on the Cumberland Plateau, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 90 feet. The property is big-rig friendly and includes on-site waterfalls, creek access, and valley overlooks from the plateau escarpment, 40 miles west of Chattanooga. Forty-seven full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in configurations, with fire pits and picnic tables at the sites and room for rigs to 90 feet. Eleven tent sites serve campers traveling light. A general store stocks basics and firewood, laundry and showers handle longer stays, and WiFi reaches the property. Note the after-hours gate code is 2536, and a park map with your name is posted on the store door at the entrance. The 120 acres are the draw. Waterfalls, creeks, and forest trails run across the property, with valley overlooks from the plateau rim that fan across eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. Hiking, biking, kayaking, and fishing all start on site, and the mixed forest and lake terrain makes for productive birding. A dog park and spa round out the amenities, and a golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. The property sits just outside Franklin State Forest, with the South Cumberland State Park complex — 11 units totaling over 25,000 acres — spread across the surrounding plateau. Chattanooga is 40 miles east. Access runs from Exit 134 off I-24 toward Sewanee, then northwest on 41-A for three miles to State Highway 156 and 15 miles on to Browns Trace. The campground serves the spring-through-fall plateau season, with October foliage the busiest window.

Naming categories by outlook — waterfront or mountain view — tells you exactly what you are booking. A general store handles the practical side. One policy to clear first: the resort has a ten-year age restriction on all RVs, though older coaches are reviewed for approval — send a photo to [email protected] before booking. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Canoeing, kayaking, pickleball, and hiking round it out. Pets are welcome. The property is new throughout, which shows in the finishes. Sevierville sits minutes from the Pigeon Forge entertainment corridor and the western entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park — the most visited national park in the country at more than 12 million visitors a year. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard in the Smokies. Reserve well ahead, and clear RV approval early if your coach is older.

The Cabins at Long Branch

3 Cabins

The Cabins at Long Branch in Topton, NC, offers 3 handcrafted two-bedroom cabins at 3,500 feet above the Nantahala Gorge. This is a cabin property rather than a serviced RV park — the published record shows no RV sites or hookups, so contact them directly if you're traveling in a rig. WiFi covers the property, and there's a playground. The elevation and the seclusion are the product. A lake, creek frontage, and mountain forest surround the cabins, with fishing, kayaking, boating, whitewater rafting, and birding all close. Topton sits high above the Nantahala River's Class III and IV whitewater corridor in the southern Blue Ridge — one of the most-run stretches of whitewater in the eastern United States, with the Nantahala Outdoor Center and Great Smoky Mountains National Park nearby. Rates for the cabins are on the booking page. Three cabins in peak rafting and fall color season book out early — and call about RV accommodation before you tow.
