Hiking

Twice Is Nice

15 RV Sites

Twice Is Nice sits in Englewood, Tennessee, in McMinn County's southern hill country—a small camping retreat of themed cabins and full hookup RV sites in the river country between the Hiwassee and Ocoee Rivers, positioned within a short drive of some of the most varied whitewater and mountain recreation in the Southeast. The property's quiet, nature-focused character makes it a comfortable base for exploring a corner of East Tennessee that holds genuine outdoor adventure within a landscape that the major resort corridors around Gatlinburg have largely overlooked. Themed rental cabins—each uniquely decorated with rustic chic interiors and modern comforts—provide the primary accommodation at Twice Is Nice, with full hookup RV sites rounding out the options for self-sufficient travelers. Walking trails through the property lead to a pond and follow the nearby river/stream corridor, and communal outdoor space with a shared fire pit provides the evening gathering point that cabin-based camping retreats depend on. Sports courts, volleyball, and horseshoes fill the recreation roster, and the pet-friendly policy and WiFi accommodate the practical needs of contemporary camping travel. Englewood sits in McMinn County's agricultural valley country, surrounded by the ridges and creek drainages of the southern Appalachian foothills where the terrain begins the transition into the more dramatic mountain landscape of the Cherokee National Forest to the east. The region's rivers—the Hiwassee to the south, the Ocoee to the southeast, and the Tennessee River to the northwest—define the outdoor recreation landscape, each offering a different character of water experience from the Hiwassee's gentle Class I-II floats and fly fishing to the Ocoee's nationally competitive Class III-IV rapids. The Ocoee River, about 30 minutes southeast, served as the 1996 Atlanta Olympics whitewater venue and remains one of the most consistently exciting commercial rafting rivers in the eastern United States—the TVA's release schedule from Ocoee Dam creates reliable Class III-IV whitewater that makes half-day trips accessible without specialized experience. The Hiwassee River, half an hour south, offers the opposite experience: a gentle, scenic float through a wide mountain valley ideal for families with younger children and anglers targeting rainbow and brown trout in the cold tailwater below Appalachia Dam. The Cherohala Skyway, which climbs from Tellico Plains to the North Carolina state line through the Cherokee and Nantahala National Forests, delivers some of the most spectacular mountain road scenery in the Appalachians. Twice Is Nice operates through the Tennessee camping season with peak demand in summer and fall. The proximity to the Ocoee makes it a natural base for whitewater trips without the higher prices of the resort cabin market immediately adjacent to the river, and the Hiwassee float and the Cherohala Skyway provide full-day scenic and recreation options for non-rafting guests. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is about an hour north, Dollywood and Pigeon Forge are within reach for day trips, and the property's own quiet trails and pond offer the kind of unprogrammed outdoor time that increasingly feels rare in the organized-activity landscape of East Tennessee tourism.

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge

49 RV Sites, 12 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge spreads across 500-plus acres of the Cumberland Plateau near Monterey, Tennessee, delivering an outdoor experience rooted in the landscape itself—waterfalls, caves, spring-fed swimming holes, and miles of hiking and UTV trails built into the plateau's forested terrain rather than layered on top of it. The spacious skies belle ridge campground sits off I-40 at an elevation that keeps summer temperatures noticeably cooler than the Tennessee valleys below, making it a natural refuge for hot-weather camping. The campground offers 68 sites including full hookup RV sites for any rig size, monthly and seasonal options for extended stays, glamping accommodations, and tent sites for traditional campers. The amenity infrastructure includes a general store, laundry facilities, community fire pit, pavilion, dog park, and playground. WiFi is available at campsites throughout the property. The natural amenities, however, are what set Belle Ridge apart: miles of trails through plateau forest lead to waterfalls and hidden caves accessible from within the campground, a natural spring-fed swimming hole with a sandy beach provides the summer's primary gathering point, a secluded hike-in fishing hole gives anglers a backcountry feel without a long approach, and gold panning rounds out the discovery-based activities. Planned activities supplement the natural programming through the season. The Cumberland Plateau is one of the most biologically diverse regions in the eastern United States—a sandstone table elevated above the surrounding valleys, crossed by rivers that have carved dramatic gorges and waterfall corridors through millions of years of drainage. Monterey sits near the eastern edge of the plateau where the terrain drops sharply into the Crab Orchard Mountains, giving Belle Ridge access to the geological complexity that makes this part of Tennessee consistently reward slow exploration. The plateau's cave systems, created by water dissolving limestone beneath the sandstone cap, add an underground dimension to the landscape that is rare among eastern campgrounds of this scale. Fall Creek Falls State Park, about an hour southwest, is home to Fall Creek Falls—at 256 feet, among the highest free-falling waterfalls in eastern North America—and the surrounding state park encompasses additional cascades, gorges, and swimming areas in one of Tennessee's most spectacular natural settings. Burgess Falls State Natural Area, closer to the campground, protects a series of four cascading falls on the Falling Water River in terrain that provides some of the most rewarding short hikes in Middle Tennessee. Rock Island State Park nearby preserves the Great Falls of the Caney Fork River alongside swimming, camping, and geological formations that reflect the plateau's complex hydrology. Nashville is roughly 90 minutes west via I-40, providing a full urban day trip option. Spacious Skies Belle Ridge operates through the Tennessee camping season with spring and fall delivering the most comfortable plateau weather for trail exploration and cave visits. Summer's spring-fed swimming hole becomes the property's social center during hot weather, and the elevated plateau setting shaves several degrees off the temperatures visitors experience in Nashville or Knoxville at the same time. The combination of natural discovery activities—caves, waterfalls, gold panning, spring swimming—with a full-service campground infrastructure makes Belle Ridge one of the more distinctive camping destinations on the Cumberland Plateau.

Raccoon Mountain Caverns & Campground

55 RV Sites, 9 Cabins, 22 Tent Sites, 5 Glamping Sites

Raccoon Mountain Caverns and Campground in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites, nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites at the entrance to a 5.5-mile guided cave system, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Compact and deluxe pull-through categories join rustic back-in sites, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Fifty-five sites span compact pull-thru, compact pull-thru max tow, deluxe pull-thru, and rustic back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The compact max-tow category is a thoughtful distinction for smaller rigs with a vehicle in tow. Nine cabins, 22 tent sites, and five glamping sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Three policies to know: no hammocks or car camping on any site, no tents on RV sites, RVs manufactured before 2000 require photo approval, and you must be 21 to book. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a fitness center, clubhouse, pavilion, basketball, shuffleboard, corn hole, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park besides. Sleeping beside the cave entrance is the singular draw — one of the Southeast's most accessible wild cavern experiences, with Lookout Mountain and downtown Chattanooga close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Foxfire of Murphy RV Park

18 RV Sites

Foxfire of Murphy RV Park in Murphy, North Carolina, offers 18 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 110 feet — a remarkable length allowance for an 18-site boutique property. Premium creekside back-ins join premium full-hookup and pull-through categories in the far western corner of the state. Eighteen sites run in premium creekside back-in, premium full-hookup, and premium pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 110 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The creekside category is worth requesting. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. With 18 sites, reserve rather than counting on availability. Pets are welcome. A creek runs the property with walking trails alongside, and a community fire pit and dog park fill the grounds. Birding and picnicking run from the site. The intimate scale and year-round operation make this a genuine home base rather than an overnight stop. Murphy is the Cherokee County seat and the westernmost city of any size in North Carolina, at the convergence of the Hiwassee and Valley Rivers near the Tennessee and Georgia lines. That tri-state position gives an outdoor variety few small Appalachian cities match: whitewater rafting, Fields of the Wood, fishing, swimming and boating, Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino, and extensive hiking, with mountains and a lake nearby. Summer and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Knoxville Campground

43 RV Sites

In Clinton, Tennessee—10 miles north of Knoxville off Interstate 75 in Anderson County where the Tennessee River Valley's ridges, the Tennessee Museum of Appalachia's folk heritage collection, and the Norris Dam's 1936 TVA engineering represent the specific convergence of Appalachian cultural heritage and New Deal infrastructure that the greater Knoxville metropolitan area offers within a 20-minute drive—Knoxville Campground provides full hookup RV sites with 50-amp service, four cabin types, a club room, laundry, arcade, and the I-75 access that makes it the most convenient family campground for northbound and southbound travelers needing a Knoxville-area base. Family-owned and operated by Kiefer Campgrounds, the property is open year-round and golf cart friendly. Full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections provide 50-amp service capable of running the largest modern motorhomes and fifth wheels in all weather conditions. Cabin accommodations span four configurations—Rustic Cabins for the nature-forward guest, Mini Deluxe Cabins sleeping three, Deluxe Cabins sleeping four, and Super Deluxe Cabins sleeping six—giving families and groups the enclosed lodging alternative without requiring RV equipment. Hot showers with air conditioning serve the shared hygiene need year-round. A newly remodeled club room houses pool tables, card tables, and arcade games providing indoor entertainment for evenings and rainy days. On-site laundry handles the extended-stay practical requirement, and free WiFi covers the property for connectivity. Tent sites in a designated wooded area serve the lightweight camper. The campground is pet-friendly throughout. The Knoxville metropolitan area's outdoor recreation landscape begins immediately outside the campground. House Mountain State Natural Area—the highest point in Knox County—provides the ridgeline hiking with panoramic valley views that the eastern Tennessee geography makes available within a 20-minute drive. The Tennessee Riverboat Company's operations on the Tennessee River provide the scenic waterway experience that the river's industrial and natural history makes particularly interesting in the Knoxville context, where the TVA's dam system transformed the river from a flood-prone seasonal problem into the managed reservoir system that now anchors the region's recreation economy. The Little Ponderosa Zoo and Rescue provides the wildlife encounter experience that brings families with young children specifically to the Clinton area. The Tennessee Museum of Appalachia—one of the most complete collections of Southern Appalachian folk and material culture in the United States—occupies the nearby community of Norris and provides the cultural programming that makes Anderson County more than just an I-75 stopping point. The Museum of Appalachia's working farm, the dozens of reconstructed historic cabins, and the artifact collection assembled over 50 years by John Rice Irwin create a cultural property of national significance accessible within 15 minutes of the campground. Knoxville Campground is open year-round in eastern Tennessee's four-season climate. The campground's I-75 off-ramp proximity makes it equally functional as a one-night transit stop or a multi-day Knoxville-area base. The spring wildflower season in the surrounding ridge terrain, the summer river recreation calendar, and the fall foliage color across the Appalachian ridges that visible from the Anderson County ridgelines create the seasonal programming that makes return visits practical. Reserve your 50-amp site, map the House Mountain trailhead for the morning, and let Clinton's position as a Knoxville-area gateway earn the convenience and character that interstate access and Appalachian heritage together provide.

Blue Ridge RV Resort

76 RV Sites

Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills of Fannin County, Georgia, at a Wright Mill Road address in Morganton that puts guests four miles from Lake Blue Ridge and within easy reach of the Toccoa River's recreation corridor, Blue Ridge RV Resort has assembled one of the most fully appointed private campgrounds in the North Georgia Highlands—81 full-hookup sites including 24 positions on Hemptown Creek, a stocked trout stream that runs directly through the property. The resort's private bathrooms at each site, heated pool, EV charging stations, playground, dog park, and outdoor movie programming create a resort-level environment in a mountain campground that takes Hemptown Creek's trout frontage and the surrounding Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest recreation as seriously as it takes the amenity checklist. Eighty-one full-hookup sites—including back-in, pull-through, creekfront, and buddy configurations—provide 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service alongside private bathroom facilities that distinguish the resort from campgrounds where shared bathhouses are the standard. The 24 creekfront sites on Hemptown Creek provide direct access to the stocked trout stream from the campsite itself, and fishing, kayaking, and the outdoor movie screenings that the resort schedules throughout the season give guests recreational options from active outdoor pursuit to relaxed evening entertainment. A camp store, laundry, playground, heated pool, and dog park complete the resort infrastructure for guests who want nothing beyond the property's own amenity suite during a full week's stay. Hemptown Creek, the stocked trout stream running through the resort's creekfront sites, provides immediate catch-and-release and keep-fish trout fishing in water that maintains the cold clarity of a North Georgia mountain stream throughout the season. Lake Blue Ridge, four miles from the resort, spans 3,290 acres of TVA reservoir water in the Toccoa River watershed and provides the boating, swimming, and fishing access that makes the Lake Blue Ridge recreational area the primary outdoor destination for Fannin County's summer tourism community. The lake's fishing produces rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and walleye in the cold, clear water sustained by the elevation and watershed of the surrounding mountains. The Toccoa River, ideal for tubing and limited white-water paddling, lies within easy reach of the resort and provides the river recreation that complements the lake and creek fishing. Blue Ridge, the Fannin County seat, anchors a vibrant mountain town with the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway—an excursion train running from the Blue Ridge Depot through the Toccoa River gorge to McCaysville on the Tennessee border, one of the most scenic short rail excursions in the Appalachian South. The Appalachian Trail crosses Fannin County's Blue Ridge crest within driving range of the resort, and the Bear Creek Trail system in the adjacent national forest provides hiking access to the high-elevation terrain above the resort's wooded valley setting. The North Georgia Highlands' four-season climate delivers the spring wildflower season on the Appalachian Trail, the summer mountain weather 15 to 20 degrees cooler than Atlanta's heat, and the fall foliage in October that draws the heaviest campground traffic of the year to the Blue Ridge corridor. The Blue Ridge Apple Festival in October and the holiday programming that Blue Ridge's mountain town sustains through November and December extend the camping season into the shoulder periods, and the resort's heated pool keeps guests comfortable through the cooler fall days. Reserve creekfront sites and fall foliage weekends well ahead—the combination of the trout stream, mountain atmosphere, and proximity to Blue Ridge's vibrant downtown creates demand that fills the resort's 81 sites months in advance.

Old Mill Camp

23 RV Sites, 2 Cottages

Directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, Tennessee, Old Mill Camp and General Store occupies a stretch of Blackburn Fork Road that captures the Upper Cumberland's balance of authentic outdoor adventure and small-town Southern character. The waterfall at Cummins Falls—a 75-foot cascade into a sandstone swimming hole that ranks among Tennessee's most beautiful natural swimming destinations—begins just across the highway, making the drive to the day's first adventure a matter of crossing the road rather than loading up the car. Pull-through sites reaching 150 feet and back-in sites up to 100 feet long accommodate the full range of modern RV configurations with room to spare. All RV sites are equipped with sewer hookups and 50-amp electrical service alongside free Wi-Fi, a cooking grill, fire pit, water hydrant, and picnic table—a complete campsite setup that arrives with every reservation. Pull-through configurations range from 130 to 150 feet, and back-in sites from 65 to 100 feet, giving large rigs the maneuvering clearance often missing from smaller Tennessee campgrounds. Cottage rentals operate from March through October for guests seeking a roofed shelter with additional comforts, and a Rent-A-Tent option provides a pre-set campsite with a six-person tent and screened room for guests who want the camping experience without hauling gear from home. Cummins Falls State Park protects the lower Blackburn Fork gorge, a dramatic sandstone canyon where the creek drops 75 feet into a pool that draws swimmers, cliff jumpers, and photographers from across the mid-South during the warm-weather months. The park's gorge-side hiking trail traverses stream crossings and boulders on a route that requires some scrambling and delivers a genuine wilderness feel despite its proximity to Cookeville. The surrounding Upper Cumberland plateau provides additional hiking, caving, and paddling options in a region of Tennessee that remains substantially off the tourist radar compared to the Smoky Mountains corridor to the south. The Old Mill Camp General Store is a destination in its own right—a nostalgic establishment where oldies music plays on the porch, a jukebox entertains inside, and hand-scooped ice cream and bologna-and-cracker sandwiches provide the unpretentious refreshment that defines Upper Cumberland comfort food at its best. Live music on Saturday evenings and a children's playground ensure that evenings at camp carry a social energy complementing the active daytime programming at the falls and surrounding parks. Cookeville, about 15 miles west, offers a full range of urban amenities including the Tennessee Technological University campus, regional dining, and a revitalized downtown arts and restaurant district. Cummins Falls sees its heaviest visitation in July and August when the swimming hole season peaks, making advance campground reservations essential for summer holiday weekends when the state park and the campground fill simultaneously. Spring brings wildflower blooms along the gorge trail and the Upper Cumberland's most photogenic creek conditions before the summer crowds arrive. Fall turns the surrounding hardwood ridges gold and amber in late October, extending the prime camping season well past the swimming hole closure and giving guests a compelling reason to return to the gorge for a second season.

Mountaineer Campground

42 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Mountaineer Campground in Townsend, Tennessee, offers 42 RV sites and three cabins along the Little River, with 30 and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Off-river categories run from 30-amp through deluxe 50-amp, with dedicated van, pop-up, and tent sites, on the quiet western approach to the Smokies. Forty-two sites span off-river 30-amp, off-river 50-amp, off-river deluxe 50-amp, and dedicated van, pop-up, and tent categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. Having a separate category for vans and pop-ups is genuinely useful — small rigs are not charged for space they do not need. Three cabins round out the accommodations. Restrooms and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a playground, pavilion, and walking trails on the grounds. The Little River runs the property, giving guests fishing, swimming, and the constant sound of clear mountain water over river stones — the sensory backdrop that distinguishes Townsend camping from the commercial experience in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Hiking, biking, and birding run from camp. Townsend bills itself as the Peaceful Side of the Smokies, and the description holds. Little River Outfitters on Highway 321 and The Backcountry on State Highway 73 can help plan fishing in the park. Summer and October foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Black House Mountain Campground

Black House Mountain Campground in Jamestown, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites and cabins on a big-rig-friendly property in Fentress County, with a general store, showers, and WiFi on the Cumberland Plateau. Off-road riders can reach the Pickett Forest trailhead 4.5 miles up Black House Mountain Road, directly across from the campground. Full-hookup RV sites and cabin accommodations serve both RV travelers and guests without a rig, on a layout sized for big rigs. A general store stocks basics, firewood is available, and restrooms, showers, and WiFi cover the practical side. The setting is forest and mountain, with walking trails running the property and picnicking areas across the grounds. The off-road access is the distinguishing practical feature — the Pickett Forest trailhead sits 4.5 miles up the road opposite the campground, so 4x4 and ATV guests can ride from camp rather than trailering out. Boating and creek access are nearby. Pets are welcome. The surrounding landscape is the most spectacular canyon country on the Cumberland Plateau. Pogue Creek Canyon State Natural Area, Pickett State Park, and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area are all close, holding deep sandstone gorges, carved slot canyons, and natural arches and bridges in a concentration unmatched elsewhere in the Tennessee plateau. To reach the campground from Jamestown, take Highway 127 to Pickett Park Highway (154N) and travel northeast for 9.8 miles; the campground is on the right. The campground serves the Cumberland Plateau season, with fall color in October the most spectacular window and summer carrying the heaviest river and trail traffic. Reserve ahead for both.

Talona Ridge RV Resort

120 RV Sites

Talona Ridge RV Resort in East Ellijay, Georgia, offers 120 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted up to 103 feet — exceptional capacity for a mountain property. Eagle Crest back-in, buddy, pull-through, and premiere motorcoach pull-in categories join a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and bar on the ridgeline. One hundred twenty sites span Eagle Crest back-in, back-in buddy, pull-through, and premiere motorcoach pull-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 103 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Accessible sites are available. The premiere motorcoach pull-in category is built for large coaches, and 103 feet backs that up. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. The resort has three physical levels, each with its own pricing — check the map before booking. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, bar, pavilion, sports courts, pickleball, walking trails, hiking, mountain biking, golf cart rentals, and a dog park besides. Pets are welcome. The elevated sites command sweeping views of the North Georgia Appalachians above the Cartecay River valley, in Gilmer County's apple-growing highlands. Fall foliage and apple season drive the sharpest demand from Atlanta. Reserve well ahead for October weekends.

The Broken Banjo RV Park

37 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites

Halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga in Manchester, Tennessee—in Coffee County at the geographic midpoint of the state where the Highland Rim plateau country delivers its waterfalls, cave systems, and forested creek corridors in a landscape that the surrounding Middle Tennessee tourist infrastructure has only partially discovered—The Broken Banjo Campground offers cabins, glamping tents, RV sites, and primitive tent sites amid the waterfalls and wooded terrain of the Manchester area, with on-site swimming, fishing, hiking trails, mini-golf, and lawn games, and the nearby cultural and geological attractions that make Coffee County's position on the I-24 corridor between Tennessee's two major cities more than a convenient highway stop. The Jack Daniel's Distillery is 30 miles east. Cumberland Caverns is 20 miles north. Old Stone Fort is in town. Cabins, glamping tents, and RV hookup sites provide the accommodation range that serves the weekend family crowd from Nashville and the through-travelers making the Nashville-to-Chattanooga run who want more than a rest stop. Primitive tent sites accommodate the minimalist camper, and the on-site activities—swimming hole, fishing, hiking trails through the surrounding forest, mini-golf, and the lawn games that a campground with a social philosophy provides—create the self-contained daily activity environment that makes a multi-night stay at Broken Banjo genuinely satisfying without requiring a drive off property. Clean bathrooms and showers, WiFi for the connectivity-dependent, and the campground's character as a destination rather than a utility stop complete the experiential infrastructure. Manchester sits in Coffee County on the Duck River's watershed in the Highland Rim plateau country where the geology shifts from the limestone karst of the Central Basin to the sandstone and chert-capped plateau that creates the waterfalls, caves, and the forested escarpments that distinguish the Highland Rim's outdoor character. Old Stone Fort State Archaeological Park, within Manchester's city limits, preserves a 2,000-year-old Native American ceremonial enclosure of earthen walls and mounds along the Duck River—one of the most significant Middle Woodland period archaeological sites in eastern North America, and one of the most unexpected world-class historical attractions in the state. Cumberland Caverns, 20 miles north near McMinnville, protects one of the largest show cave systems in the eastern United States—the Volcano Room's lighting and the Civil War-era saltpeter mining artifacts that the cave's tours interpret make it Tennessee's most complete underground experience, and the cave's consistent 56°F temperature makes it a genuinely rewarding destination in the middle of a Tennessee July. Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, 30 miles east, offers the tour of the oldest registered distillery in the United States in the dry county where Tennessee whiskey's defining brand produces its product in the hollow that Jack Daniel chose in 1866 for the iron-free Cave Spring water that he considered essential to the whiskey's quality. Broken Banjo operates year-round in Middle Tennessee's moderate climate, with the spring wildflower season in April along the Duck River corridor, the summer camping peak from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and the fall foliage season in October providing the three most active periods in the campground's annual calendar. The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, held each June on a farm in Manchester, creates the most significant regional demand event in Coffee County's annual calendar. Reserve your site or cabin at Broken Banjo and let the Manchester waterfalls, Cumberland Caverns, and the Jack Daniel's hollow deliver the Middle Tennessee outdoor and cultural experience from the I-24 corridor's most interesting campground address.

Sasquatch Farm RV Park

47 RV Sites, 11 Tent Sites

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.
