Escape With Us RV Resort

26 RV Sites

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.

Golf cart rentals make the property easy to move around, and a golf course is nearby. One practical note: this is bear country despite the populated setting, so store food accordingly. Greeneville is the home of Andrew Johnson, and the National Historic Site downtown preserves his homestead, tailor shop and cemetery. The Nolichucky River Gorge lies 20 miles south in the Cherokee National Forest, where a 14-mile canyon carries Class III–IV whitewater, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park's Cosby entrance is a 45-mile drive southwest. The campground runs spring through fall. Cherokee National Forest wildflowers peak April into May, and October foliage on the northeast Tennessee ridgelines is the busiest window of the year — with the Roan Mountain rhododendron bloom, 40 miles northeast, drawing heavily from mid-June into early July. Reserve ahead for both.

The private cove position means protected water and quiet even on a busy summer weekend. The Appalachian Trail crosses the lake at the dam, Roan Mountain and the Doe River Gorge are close, and Bristol and Johnson City are within a short drive. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with fall foliage in the Cherokee National Forest drawing a strong second wave. Reserve well ahead.

Beyond it, northeast Tennessee's high country opens up in every direction, with the Appalachian corridor's lakes, rivers, and ridgelines all within reach. The campground works equally well for a quiet getaway and an active outdoor trip, which is much of its appeal — guests can ride Doe Mountain all day or spend it beside the creek without leaving the property.
