RV parks near Young Harris provide multiple options for motorhome travelers. Sundowner RV Village maintains spacious sites with full hookups, 50-amp service, and accommodations for larger rigs. Approximately 20 miles west, Valley River RV Resort features concrete pads with asphalt driveways and upscale amenities including a clubhouse and private fishing pond. Rivers Edge RV Park II accommodates RVs with electric, sewer, and water connections, though big rigs may find navigation challenging in some areas. Peachtree Cove RV Park maintains 26 sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp service options, firewood availability, and sanitary dump facilities. "The sights are level and well spaced, and the creek is charming. The only drawback we've found is the traffic noise, but this is a narrow valley in the Great Smokies so it can't be helped."
Many mountain RV parks require advance planning during peak fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Several parks remain open year-round, including Sundowner RV Village and Rivers Edge Mountain RV Resort. Navigation to certain properties involves mountain roads with elevation changes and occasional steep grades—Unicoi State Park specifically notes a substantial incline to reach its campground area. Pet policies vary between locations, with most allowing pets but implementing specific restrictions. Cell service fluctuates throughout the region, with stronger signals at lower elevations and in proximity to towns. Laundry facilities are limited at smaller properties but typically available at larger resorts. During summer months, shade availability becomes an important consideration, as one visitor noted about Rivers Edge Mountain RV Resort: "Most sites did not have much shade, keep that in mind if booking a stay here during the hot months."

GuideLeft Pigeon Forge Tn. GPS took us on an adventure, route 129 The Tail of the Dragon 318 curves switchback and hairpins I was nervous but slayed it. Lol. Peachtree Cove RV Park is perfect for quiet camping. Dog run area stream or river at most sites. I had a reservation at Andrew’s Valley Railway Tour highly recommend both of these
ScoutI camped here with a friend last weekend and absolutely loved this place! It's a cute little site with a great host, clean bathrooms, free firewood, and super friendly dogs, goats, and people. I would for sure stay here again and recommend.
GuideParksville Lake RV Campground is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic stay here. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the sites are nice, spacious, and wonderfully shaded by the trees. We loved the layout of the RV loop, especially the outer section where a peaceful creek flows right past the sites—the sound of the water at night was perfect. The restrooms and showers were exceptionally clean and well-kept. I had Starlink connectivity at my site and my WeBoost cell signal booster gave me up to three bars on AT&T. The campground host was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful. It's a wonderful, relaxing spot, and I will definitely be back!
ScoutWe stayed for a week in late October. Quiet and secluded but right outside of Franklin. Very. Nicely decorated. Has small campstore, very nice laundryroom, and a guest event center. Rick, the campsite host, helped me get backed in and asked if I needed any more help. Some pull-throughs. Some sites are a little tight but others really nice. We will definitely come back.
ScoutWhatever person or group of persons designed the campground were clueless as to how to develop a campground. Sites are packed in the most preposterous configuration to have tents, trailers motorhomes all jammed together nearly touching each other with zero privacy. Come for the hikes and views of the gorge but come with the lowest expectations for the campground and you’ll be fine
TravelerMy son, daughter-in-law, and twin grandchildren, and I camped here to watch the full solar eclipse in 2017. We had a beautiful tent site. There was a little playground that the kids really enjoyed and abundant shade at the camping site. Bathrooms were clean, wood for campfires was available, and we had a wonderful time.
GuideA sign on the gate says that the area has been closed "due to vandalism and unauthorized activity".
GuideThis is one of several USFS campgrounds that are within a few miles of each other. The cost is only $8/night, first come first served. The sites are fairly large with about half of them on a wide, clear creek. There is no running water, but there are bear proof trash cans and vault toilets that were fairly clean, but didn't smell great.
There is free potable water and an RV dump station about a mile away at the North River Game Checking Station on River Road near the Spivey Cove campground..
The campsite was clean with picnic table, fire ring, and a lantern post. The fire ring was almost full of ashes and it appears that campers have to clean them out themselves.
The Green Cove Angler store is a couple miles away and has ice, firewood and other camper things.
Unfortunately, while we were there, it was bear hunting season and another camper had multiple barking and baying dogs that went on and on for hours.
ScoutWalk to trail sites, clean bathrooms, sites close together…water and electric at site. Sites are sloped gravel.
