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.

5 RV Sites

Off the Hook RV Campground in Nancy, KY, offers 5 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites come in two premium categories, 20/30/50-amp back-in and 20/30/50-amp pull-through, both carrying electric, water, and sewer with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. Every site takes all three amp services, and the campground is rated big rig friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a craft room, and a community fire pit cover the rest. If you're arriving after hours, call ahead for check-in instructions. Pets are welcome, and there's a playground. A pond, live music, birding, fishing, and picnicking fill the grounds, with a lake and boating nearby.

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.

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.

Quiet Woods Green River Stables

10 RV Sites

Quiet Woods Green River Stables in Campbellsville, KY, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. At 60 feet the sites take a large rig, and with ten of them the property never feels crowded. Laundry, a general store, and a barn are on site — the barn is the point, since this is an equestrian property and guests can bring horses, which almost no standard campground accommodates. Pets are welcome. The property also serves as a wedding venue. A beach and lake access, walking trails, and live music fill the grounds, with fishing, boating, swimming, biking, and birding on and around the water. A state park is nearby. Campbellsville sits in the Green River Lake area of central Kentucky, in rolling farm and lake country. Rates and availability are on the booking page. If you're traveling with horses, contact the stables directly to confirm stall availability alongside your site.

The campground is rated big rig friendly, and at 90 feet the deluxe pull-thrus will take almost anything on the road. Open all year.

Rockwood Marina & RV Resort

77 RV Sites

Rockwood Marina and RV Resort in Tennessee offers 77 full-hookup RV sites on 1.5 miles of Watts Bar Lake shoreline, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 105 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Beachfront, lakefront, premium lakefront, poolside, and poolside waterview categories name exactly what you are booking, alongside a marina, boat ramp, and fishing pier. Seventy-seven sites span beachfront back-in, lakefront back-in, lakefront pull-in, premium lakefront back-in, poolside back-in, poolside waterview back-in, pull-thru, and waterfront categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 105 feet, with fire pits. Naming every category by its position is genuinely useful, and 105 feet accommodates the longest coaches on the road. A general store, laundry, and restrooms handle the practical side. The marina is the anchor, with boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier giving direct access to Watts Bar for boating and fishing. An outdoor pool, sandy beach, pavilion, and on-site dining fill the rest. Pets are welcome. The resort opened in summer 2023 as one of the most ambitious marina-integrated campground developments in the Tennessee Valley, and it shows in the facilities — everything is new. Watts Bar is a 39,000-acre TVA reservoir in Roane County between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends, with spring and fall fishing strong and considerably easier availability.
