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.

Jellystone Park™ Watts Bar

173 RV Sites, 55 Cabins

Jellystone Park Watts Bar in Loudon, Tennessee, offers 173 RV sites and 55 cabins across 74 acres on Watts Bar Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 63 feet. Luxury back-in and dedicated Bark n Roll dog-friendly sites join standard categories in the Tennessee River Valley. One hundred seventy-three sites span standard back-in, standard pull-through, luxury back-in, and Bark n Roll categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 63 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The Bark n Roll sites are purpose-built for guests traveling with dogs, which is a genuinely useful distinction rather than a marketing label. Fifty-five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, and restrooms handle the practical side. A lake sits on the property, with a recreation center, playground, pavilion, dog park, golf cart rentals, gem mining, and picnicking across the wooded and open acreage. Pets are welcome. Watts Bar Lake is the setting, and the 74 acres of rolling countryside along its shoreline give the resort a natural character that complements the Jellystone programming rather than competing with it. Polecat Ramp at 29302 Loudon Highway is the closest river access for guests bringing a boat. The resort serves the Tennessee lake season. Summer drives the heaviest family demand, with the shoulder seasons delivering more comfortable conditions and easier availability. Reserve well ahead for July and August weekends.

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.

The resort also hosts weddings. Monterey sits on the plateau between Nashville and Knoxville off I-40, with golf nearby. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Deluxe pull-thrus book first.

Scenic City RV Campground

44 RV Sites, 2 Glamping Sites

Scenic City RV Campground in Ringgold, Georgia, offers 44 full-hookup RV sites and two glamping sites on 10 wooded acres, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Open all year, with a clubhouse, boat rentals, a game room, and a dedicated Class B site category, it sits at Georgia's northwest gateway to Chattanooga. Forty-four 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 separate back-in category is reserved for Class B vans — a genuinely useful distinction that keeps small rigs from being placed on oversized pads. Two glamping sites round out the accommodations. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The 10 wooded acres give the campground its character. A pond and creek run the property for fishing, boat rentals are available, and a clubhouse, game room, playground, and dog park fill the grounds. Planned activities run through the season, and the tree canopy and dark surroundings make for good stargazing. A lake, boating, and an amusement park are nearby. Pets are welcome. Ringgold sits in Catoosa County on the I-75 and US-41 corridors, at the edge of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park's 5,300 acres of Civil War battlefield. The Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain recreation corridor extends Chattanooga's outdoor footprint into the northwest Georgia ridgeline. The campground is open year-round and family-owned. Summer and fall color drive demand — reserve ahead for October, when Chattanooga-area lodging tightens.

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.

from $26 $22/night

Blue Ridge RV Resort

76 RV Sites

Blue Ridge RV Resort in Morganton, GA, offers 76 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 100 feet. The categories are named for position on the property: creek side back-ins, inner circle back-ins, inner circle buddy back-ins, inner circle pull-thrus, and buddy pull-thrus for two rigs traveling together. All carry water, sewer, and electric. The resort is rated big rig friendly, and at 100 feet it takes the longest coaches — genuinely rare in the Georgia mountains. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, propane fills, a clubhouse, and a recreation center cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a playground. Creek frontage, corn hole, swimming, fishing, and dark mountain sky for stargazing fill the grounds, with a lake, a river, golf, and the mountains nearby. Morganton sits on Wright Mill Road in the Blue Ridge foothills of Fannin County, four miles from Lake Blue Ridge and within reach of the Toccoa River. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Buddy sites and creek side back-ins book first — mention if you're traveling with another rig.

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.

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.

Publishing both the surface and the patio type is unusually transparent, and the fenced patio is a genuine find if you travel with dogs. An all-pull-through layout at 88 feet handles anything on the road. Fourteen tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and splash pad anchor the summer, with mini-golf, sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, billiards, corn hole, a pond, playground, pavilion, walking trails, hiking, and a dog park filling the rest. Coffee County sits on the Highland Rim, with waterfalls, cave systems, and forested creek corridors close — and Bonnaroo's farm just outside town. Bonnaroo week fills the county.

Pigeon Forge RV Resort

182 RV Sites

Pigeon Forge RV Resort in Tennessee offers 182 RV sites in the heart of the Sevier County resort corridor, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 65 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year.

Two things worth knowing: the creekfront category is partial hookup rather than full, and the Deluxe Micro tier right-sizes for compact rigs. Accessible sites are available. A general store, laundry, dump station, and firewood handle the practical side. The bathhouse has 13 private bathrooms, each with its own shower. Four people are included per site, each additional person is $7 per day, and eight is the maximum. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with mini-golf, volleyball, golf cart rentals, a pond, creek, playground, pavilion, community fire pit, dog park, and snack bar filling the grounds. Fishing, hiking, biking, and live music round it out. Dollywood, the Parkway, and the park's busiest entrance are all at hand. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard. Reserve well ahead.

Made in the Shade RV Park

30 RV Sites

Made in the Shade RV Park in Granville, Tennessee, offers 30 full-hookup back-in RV sites along the Cumberland River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Granville sits on the Cumberland River in Jackson County, a small historic town that has built a genuine visitor identity around its preserved main street and river setting — an unusually pleasant base for a stretch of Middle Tennessee that most travelers pass through rather than stop in. The park suits both weekend getaways and longer stays, and the year-round operation makes it viable well outside the summer window. Summer river recreation and October foliage drive the heaviest demand — reserve ahead for both, and expect Granville's event weekends to tighten availability.
