Old Mill Camp

23 RV Sites, 2 Cottages

Old Mill Camp in Cookeville, TN, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites and 2 cottages, with 30 and 50-amp service. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. The maximum rig length in the record isn't reliable, so call with your dimensions before booking a long coach. A general store, firewood, WiFi, and a playground cover the essentials. The property is gated and guests are issued the code at booking. Pets are welcome. Walking trails and hiking fill the grounds, and the general store is a genuine one rather than a vending nook. Old Mill Camp sits directly across the road from Cummins Falls State Park in the rural highlands of Jackson County, on Blackburn Fork Road. From I-40, take Exit 280 toward Baxter and Gainesboro and head north on Highway 56, following the directional signs. The falls are among the most dramatic swimming holes in Tennessee. Rates for sites and cottages are on the booking page. Cummins Falls limits gorge access by permit in season — check that alongside your reservation.

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge

49 RV Sites, 12 Cabins, 6 Tent Sites

Spacious Skies Belle Ridge in Monterey, TN, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites, 12 cabins, and 6 tent sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 90 feet. Sites come in four categories — back-in, premium back-in, pull-thru, and deluxe pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and ADA-accessible sites are available. 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. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a community fire pit, and golf cart rentals round it out. On arrival, all guests and visitors check in at the main office and sign the terms. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The property spreads across more than 500 acres of the Cumberland Plateau, with waterfalls, caves, spring-fed swimming holes, and miles of hiking and UTV trails built into the forest, plus a pond for fishing, gem panning, a pavilion, a playground, and planned activities. 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.

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.

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.

Four Corners RV Resort & Marina

79 RV Sites, 3 Onsite RV/Trailers, 2 Tiny Houses, 4 Boat Bungalows

Four Corners RV Resort and Marina in Nashville, Tennessee, offers 82 full-hookup RV sites and six boat bungalow and tiny house units on J. Percy Priest Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 70 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, open all year. Dedicated fifth wheel categories join lakeside and deluxe back-in tiers, with a marina, pool, fitness center, and bar. Eighty-two back-in sites span deluxe east, deluxe west, lakeside east, fifth wheel deluxe, fifth wheel lakeside, and fifth wheel standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Dedicated fifth wheel categories are genuinely uncommon and worth knowing about if that is what you tow. Six boat bungalows and tiny houses plus cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Check-in is 2pm and checkout noon, with early and late options for a fee. The marina anchors the property, with boat rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, water sports, and fishing. An outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, sports courts, pickleball, basketball, golf cart rentals, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest, with live music through the season. Twenty miles from downtown means kayaking at sunrise and a Broadway honky-tonk by evening. Summer lake season and Nashville's event calendar both drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort

49 RV Sites, 23 Cabins

Nashville Shores Lakeside Resort offers 49 RV sites and 23 cabins on Percy Priest Lake in Nashville, with 20, 30, and 50-amp full hookups, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet, behind a gated entrance. Lakefront premium and lake view categories join a water park, zip line, lazy river, and marina. Forty-nine sites span standard, lake view, lakefront premium, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The lakefront premium category is worth requesting early. Twenty-three cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and boat storage handle the practical side. Recreation is extensive.

A library, walking trails, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, a playground, pavilion, dog park, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest, with live music and planned activities through the season and strong stargazing over the water. Pets are welcome. 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.

The Broken Banjo RV Park

37 RV Sites, 14 Tent Sites

The Broken Banjo RV Park in Manchester, Tennessee, offers 37 full-hookup pull-through RV sites and 14 tent sites halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 88 feet. Gravel and paved pull-throughs, some with paved patios and one with a fenced patio, join an outdoor pool, splash pad, and mini-golf. Thirty-seven sites span gravel pull-thru, gravel pull-thru with paved patio, long gravel pull-thru with paved patio, and paved pull-thru with fenced patio categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 88 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. 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. Reserve as early as you can.

159 RV Sites, 77 Cabins, 13 Tent Sites

Big Mouth Cave Retreat

59 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 10 Glamping Sites, 1 House

Big Mouth Cave Retreat in Pelham, Tennessee, offers 59 RV sites, eight cabin and house units, and 10 glamping sites on the Cumberland Plateau — a seven-minute walk from The Caverns, the underground music venue. Restrooms, showers, and cabins serve guests at 444 Charlie Roberts Road in Grundy County. Fifty-nine sites are available alongside eight cabins and houses and 10 glamping sites. Contact the retreat directly to confirm hookups, amp service, and length limits for your rig before booking — the site records are incomplete, and it is worth a call rather than an assumption. Restrooms and showers handle the practical side. One booking note the property flags: be sure to select both your check-in and check-out dates when reserving. The accommodations are the closest you can stay to The Caverns, which is the entire proposition here. That venue is a nationally recognized concert hall built inside a natural limestone cave, and it hosts everything from bluegrass to major touring acts in a space with acoustics no purpose-built room can replicate. Being able to walk seven minutes back to your site afterward rather than drive a mountain road in the dark is worth a great deal. Grundy County sits on the Cumberland Plateau's southern edge, where sandstone bluffs, hemlock-lined gorges, and subterranean cave systems concentrate. Grundy Forest State Natural Area's old-growth cove forest, Foster Falls, and the Fiery Gizzard Trail are all close. Demand tracks The Caverns' concert calendar almost entirely. Check the schedule and reserve as early as you can for show dates.

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.

Rocky Top Campground

7 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 1 Tiny House

Rocky Top Campground in Caryville, TN, offers 7 full-hookup back-in RV sites and 3 cabin and tiny house rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 70 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. At 70 feet the sites take a long rig, which is unusual for a seven-site mountain campground. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and WiFi cover the essentials, and the cabins and tiny houses give guests without a rig a place to stay. Pets are welcome. There's no recreation program here, and at seven sites that's the appeal — it's a full-hookup base camp, not a destination resort. Caryville sits in Campbell County in northeast Tennessee, where the Cumberland Plateau drops into the Ridge and Valley province, on the TVA reservoir that reshaped the Clinch River valley in 1936. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Seven sites in the mountains means summer and foliage weekends fill first.

from $56/night

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.
