RV Camping near Pelham, Tennessee

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.

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.

Twin Creeks RV Resort

30 RV Sites

Twin Creeks RV Resort in Winchester, TN, offers 30 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in two categories, full-hookup waterfront back-ins and full-hookup waterview back-ins, each carrying water, sewer, and electric. Both categories put you on the lake — the only question is how close. Laundry, a general store, a dump station, and on-site dining cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. For after-hours arrival, call the resort's extension 4 line. The marina carries the property: a boat ramp, boat and kayak rentals, and direct lake access for boating, fishing, water sports, and paddle boats, with hiking nearby. The resort also hosts weddings. Winchester sits on Tims Ford Lake in Franklin County, an hour south of Nashville, where a 10,700-acre impoundment on the Elk River sits against cedar-covered ridgelines in the Middle Tennessee highland rim. Rates for waterfront and waterview sites are on the booking page. Waterfront sites are limited and book first through the summer.

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.

Clearwater Cove RV Resort

47 RV Sites

Clearwater Cove RV Resort in Winchester, TN, offers 47 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 65 feet. Sites break into four categories — standard back-in, lakeview back-in, premium lakeview back-in, and full-hookup pull-thru — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. The resort is rated big rig friendly, and the pull-thrus let long rigs settle in without unhitching. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, firewood, and on-site dining cover the practicalities. Pets are welcome, with a dog park on the property. The lakefront setting drives the recreation: a marina, boat docks, and a boat ramp put guests on Tims Ford Lake for fishing and boating, and an outdoor pool, game room, and pavilion handle the rest. Biking, picnicking, and swimming fill out the days, with a state park and wine tasting nearby. Tims Ford Lake is one of Tennessee's clearest reservoirs, impounded on the Elk River in Franklin County, with limestone bluffs and forested shoreline defining its 10,700 acres. Current rates and availability for each site category are on the booking page. Lakeview sites and premium lakeview sites are the first to go on summer weekends.

Camper Hollow RV Park and Campground

4 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites

Camper Hollow RV Park and Campground in Bradyville, Tennessee, offers full-hookup RV sites and primitive RV or camper sites with 30 and 50-amp service, in a quiet Cannon County country setting open year-round. Laundry, showers, and site WiFi serve guests who want rural calm within reach of Middle Tennessee's busiest destinations. Full-hookup back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, with primitive RV and camper sites available for guests needing less. The two-tier structure is useful — self-contained rigs can take a primitive site at a lower rate. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side, and the park operates all year. This is a small property, so call ahead rather than arriving on spec. Pets are welcome. The amenity set stays deliberately simple, and the rural quiet is the product. Guests come for the country setting rather than programming, and the park is priced and equipped accordingly. The park sits on Toy Denny Road in Bradyville, in the quiet rural landscape between Murfreesboro and the small agricultural town of Woodbury. The position is the genuine advantage: 15 minutes from Murfreesboro's shops, restaurants, and Middle Tennessee State University, and within 45 minutes of Nashville's full entertainment and cultural landscape. Campground addresses that combine real rural tranquility with that much urban access are rare. The park operates year-round. Nashville event weekends and MTSU dates tighten Middle Tennessee lodging considerably — reserve ahead if your stay overlaps one.

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.

Crossing Creeks Farm

7 RV Sites

Crossing Creeks Farm in Shelbyville, TN, offers 7 RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 65 feet. Sites come in two categories: full-hookup back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table, and electric-only sites for guests who need less. The farm is rated big rig friendly, and both Eady Road and the farm driveway are safe for any size rig — worth knowing before you commit a 65-foot coach to a country lane. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park and a pet washing station. Creek frontage, walking trails, hiking, horseback riding, picnicking, and birding fill the working farmland, which is the whole point: this is camping on the land rather than in a lot. Shelbyville sits off Highway 231 about 20 minutes from I-24, long celebrated as the capital of the Tennessee Walking Horse world, with Henry Horton State Park nearby. Rates for full-hookup and electric-only sites are on the booking page. Walking Horse Celebration week books out well ahead.

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.

Red Coach Resort

20 RV Sites

Red Coach Resort in Toney, Alabama, offers 18 RV sites across 81 acres of woodland, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 98 feet. Dry camp back-in categories in Camp F and Camp T join a Camp A pull-through tier, with a beach, koi pond, walking trails, and recreation center. Eighteen sites span back-in dry camp in Camp F, back-in dry camp in Camp T, and pull-thru in Camp A, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 98 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Read the category carefully — the dry camp tiers carry no hookups at the site and price accordingly, while the Camp A pull-through carries the full set. Ninety-eight feet is exceptional capacity for a park this size. Naming the camps rather than numbering tiers makes the property easy to picture. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and a recreation center handle the practical side. One safety note the resort provides: public storm shelters are located in nearby communities, including the Ardmore Community Shelter at 29910 Park Avenue and Ardmore City Hall. A beach, koi pond, and pond anchor the recreation, with walking trails, a playground, pavilion, dog park, horseshoes, fishing, and swimming filling the rest. Towering hardwoods and genuine wildlife habitat give the 81 acres their character. Pets are welcome. Toney sits in northern Alabama's fastest-growing technology corridor, nine minutes from I-65 and within reach of Huntsville's NASA and aerospace complex — the US Space and Rocket Center is close. Spring and fall are most comfortable. Demand runs steadily on work travel. Reserve ahead.

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.

Deluxe pull-thrus book first.

Little River Campground

46 RV Sites, 1 Tent Site

Little River Campground in Fort Payne, Alabama, offers 46 full-hookup RV sites and a tent site at the edge of Little River Canyon National Preserve, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories sit in a forested setting with a clubhouse, creek, and pond on the property. Forty-six sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Note the 40-foot cap before booking a larger rig. A clubhouse, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Rates and policies are subject to change, and high-impact periods may vary. Pets are welcome. The forest setting is the draw. A creek and pond run the property for fishing, with hiking from the grounds into the surrounding plateau country. The campground works as a base rather than a destination, and its position at the preserve's edge is the point. Little River is one of the few rivers in North America that runs its entire length atop a mountain, and it carved Little River Canyon 600 feet down through the Lookout Mountain plateau — one of the deepest canyon systems east of the Mississippi. Northeast Alabama's Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain country delivers dramatic waterfalls, spring-fed streams, and outstanding fishing and hiking, with a state park and lake nearby. Summer and October foliage drive demand in the canyon country. Reserve ahead for fall color weekends.
