Pigeon Forge Landing

99 RV Sites

Pigeon Forge Landing in Sevierville, Tennessee, offers 99 full-hookup RV sites along a lazy river, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet at a brand-new resort. Executive Waterfront back-in, Mountain View Executive Plus, and Executive+ pull-through categories join standard tiers, with a pool, fitness center, and clubhouse. Ninety-nine sites span Executive back-in, Executive+ pull-thru, Executive waterfront back-in, Mountain View Executive Plus, Mountain View, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. 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.

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.

Camp Leconte Luxury Outdoor Resort

18 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites, 7 Glamping Sites, 2 Treehouses, 3 Vintage RV Rentals

Camp LeConte Luxury Outdoor Resort in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, offers 21 RV sites, two treehouses, seven glamping sites, and five tent sites four miles from downtown, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Named retro campers — Glamping at Tiffany's, Miss Daisy, and The Ruby Slipper — join European safari tents in a curated lodging mix. Twenty-one sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 42-foot cap before booking a larger rig. The lodging is the distinguishing feature: two treehouses, seven glamping units including European safari tents, and the three named retro campers give guests genuinely unusual options in a corridor where most properties offer standard cabins. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the warm months, with a playground, pavilion, and ping pong on the grounds. The mountain setting and creek nearby round it out, with birding productive across the property. Pets are welcome. Gatlinburg's downtown Parkway is four miles away, with Great Smoky Mountains National Park access adjacent and the full Smoky Mountain entertainment and dining infrastructure within minutes. An amusement park and wine tasting are nearby. The resort has run since 2013 as a family-owned boutique property. Summer and October foliage drive the heaviest demand in one of the most visited tourist corridors in the country — reserve well ahead for both.

The Ridge Outdoor Resort

140 RV Sites, 6 Tiny Houses

The Ridge Outdoor Resort in Sevierville, Tennessee, offers 133 full-hookup RV sites and six tiny houses across more than 50 acres three miles from Pigeon Forge, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 83 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Back-in and pull-through categories join a pool, hot tub, fitness center, and pickleball courts. One hundred thirty-three sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 83 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Eighty-three feet is exceptional in the Smokies, where terrain usually limits length, and two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Six tiny houses round out the lodging. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a fitness center, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, golf cart rentals, a pond, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and swimming run on site. Pets are welcome. Fifty acres is a lot of room for 133 sites, and the spacing shows — this is a luxury outdoor resort rather than a dense campground, with mountain scenery in every direction. Pigeon Forge is three miles off, which puts Dollywood, the Parkway, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance all within a short drive while keeping the resort itself out of the traffic. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Smokies, with the Christmas season drawing a strong third wave. Reserve well ahead for June through October.

Botel Campground

15 RV Sites

Botel Campground in Savannah, TN, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two categories, pull-thru and riverfront back-in, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit, picnic table, and barbecue. The riverfront back-ins are the ones to request. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and propane fills cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a dog park. The Tennessee River drives everything here: boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier for boating and fishing, plus an outdoor pool, a splash pad, a pavilion, and a playground for the rest of the family. Golf is nearby. Savannah sits on the Tennessee River in Hardin County, one mile downstream from Pickwick Dam, where the reservoir's 57-mile navigational pool sustains the bass, crappie, catfish, and sauger fishing the area is known for. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Riverfront sites are limited and go first through the fishing season.

Little Pond Mountain Campground

19 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 5 Tent Sites

Little Pond Mountain Campground in Hampton, Tennessee, offers 19 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, sized for rigs up to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout at the base of Roan Mountain in the upper Doe River valley.

A bathhouse with restrooms and showers, laundry facilities, and Starlink Wi-Fi provide convenient comforts. Tent sites and a loft cabin offer additional accommodation options. One vehicle is allowed per site, with an extra vehicle fee of $1 per night upon arrival. A ball field and basketball are available on the grounds. Boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking, and biking are available in the area, with off-roading and a golf course nearby. The cold, clear mountain streams around Roan Mountain offer excellent wild trout fishing. Pets are welcome. Hampton sits in Carter County near Cherokee National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, and Watauga Lake. The campground is open year-round, with the June rhododendron bloom and October foliage among the most popular times to visit. With 19 RV sites, advance reservations are recommended during peak periods.

Rural Hill Farm

17 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 1 House

Rural Hill Farm in Mt. Juliet, TN, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites and 4 cabin and house rentals, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 20/30/50-amp and pull-thru 20/30/50-amp, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Every site takes all three amp services. The farm is gated and rated big rig friendly, with laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, a recreation center, and a pavilion. Pets are welcome. Two practical notes: one vehicle per site, with a nightly fee for extras charged on arrival, and your GPS may route you incorrectly, so follow the farm's directions rather than the app. The property spreads across 180 acres of rolling Wilson County farmland with a pond, walking trails, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking — a working farm setting rather than a resort. Mt. Juliet sits east of Nashville, close enough for a night downtown and far enough to hear nothing but the farm. Rates for sites and rentals are on the booking page. Confirm the directions before you set out.

Mammoth Ridge RV Park

20 RV Sites

Mammoth Ridge RV Park and Campground in Greeneville, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites on a lake with its own beach, a dog park, a general store and golf cart rentals. Sites take rigs up to 75 feet with electric hookups, which accommodates most large coaches traveling the Nolichucky valley between Morristown and Johnson City. Full-hookup RV sites with electric service accommodate rigs to 75 feet, and a dump station is on site. RV storage is available for guests leaving a rig between visits. Bathrooms, showers and laundry cover the practical side of a stay, a general store stocks basics and firewood, and WiFi reaches the sites. The lake is the property's center of gravity. A beach gives swimmers direct access, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking and paddle boats put guests on the water without leaving the campground. Walking trails and biking routes run the grounds, volleyball and gaga ball serve the younger crowd, and a covered pavilion handles group gatherings. A fenced dog park is on site and pets are welcome. 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.

Knoxville Campground

43 RV Sites

A heated pool and splash pad anchor the summer, with a game room, recreation center, barn, library, playground, community fire pit, dog park, horseshoes, corn hole, and on-site dining filling the rest. Fishing, swimming, picnicking, and planned activities round it out, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Directions from Knoxville: take I-40 east toward Asheville, exit 407 toward Gatlinburg, Sevierville, and Pigeon Forge, right onto Winfield Dunn Parkway/Highway 66 south for about nine miles, then right. The property sits among the trees on the river a few miles from Dollywood, in the heart of the Smoky Mountain corridor. Summer and fall foliage drive demand hard.

An outdoor pool and creek frontage anchor the grounds, with planned activities, swimming, kayaking, and fishing on the calendar.

Unhitched Nashville North RV Park

73 RV Sites

Unhitched Nashville North in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, offers 73 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the northern Nashville metro corridor.

Seventy-three sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 50-amp, pull-in 50-amp, pull-thru 30-amp buddy, pull-thru 30-amp water-and-electric, and pull-thru 50-amp buddy categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The buddy sites are built for two rigs traveling together, which is unusual to find at both amperages. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with shuffleboard, a playground, pavilion, and dog park filling the grounds. The amenity set is practical rather than resort-scale, which keeps rates reasonable for guests whose real agenda is Nashville. Pets are welcome. Directions to 1200 Louisville Highway: take I-65 north out of Nashville, exit 98 onto Highway 31 toward Millersville, then two miles with the park on the left. Music City's honky-tonks, the Grand Ole Opry, and the Country Music Hall of Fame are all a short drive south. Demand tracks the Nashville event calendar year-round. Reserve ahead for CMA Fest and major concert weekends.
