      Bristol-Kingsport KOA

      What luck!

      I’d never used a KOA before but was tremendously impressed with the serene beauty of this place situated well away from traffic in a bucolic setting. Mindful of my budget I learned to ask for a tent site with no electricity, no water, just toilets and showers. The young man who helped me observed I was alone and put me in a small cabin for no additional charge. Just outside the cabin was a bonfire of old wood from construction debris. I was super stoked to get this deal. I spent lots of time stoking that fire and sitting outdoors watching the evening arrive. If you’re anywhere near the area do stop in and enjoy a quiet and lovely night. You can even pet the horses nearby.

      Bristol-Kingsport KOA

      Convenient and Clean

      Kingsport/Bristol has easy access from Interstate 81 and the campground is easily navigated with a large 5th wheel.

      They have cabins, a nice pool, a blob, lots of outdoor activities, playground area, horse shoes, even with it being a smaller KOA Campground there is a lot to do. The park is also near Warriors Path State Park, which is fun to go hike and see.

      They have several large pull through sites, as well as back in smaller sites. They have 50amp service and full hookup sites.

      Cellular reception is decent for TMobile and AT&T.

      This park is frequented by travelers and NASCAR fans.

      Wilderness Road - Cumberland Gap National Historic Park

      Cumberland Gap

      This is near the borders of KY, VA, and TN in Cumberland Gap park. Convenient to the park, the AT, and the nearby town for supplies, restaurants, and grocery. Its name is misleading: the campground is quite large and not far from civilization or the highway, but it’s still a great place to enjoy nature. The campground is among the trees so is very shady and semi-privacy. This is the only campground in this part of the park. Nothing to do on site besides picnic and relax, there’s endless hiking and backpacking nearby.

      Clinch River Family Campground

      Off The Beaten Path

      A few friends and I visited this campground in June of 2018 so we could visit the Natural Tunnel and the Devil's Fork Loop Trail. It's a little off the beaten path, down a dirt/gravel road, nestled next to the river (sadly it was right after Tropical Storm Alberto so the river was flooded and we didn't get a chance to swim). We had a wonderful time tent camping and hiking, the staff was always around if we needed anything and we had a peaceful, memorable vacation.

      Wilderness Road - Cumberland Gap National Historic Park

      A variety of sites

      Located a few miles away from the Cumberland Gap visitor's center, the camping area abuts the highway (where you can still hear traffic) and after a short drive into the park, you'll come across a plethora of camping sites.

      There are RV sites with power and water and for tent campers, you can choose between large spaces with open fields and hilly, shaded spots for a more secluded feel. There are also food lockers on-site to discourage wildlife, and flip-up fire rings that, for once, weren't clogged with ashes and old wood. 

      Speaking of fires, you can buy firewood on-site from the camp store (no cards taken). 

      There are care stations with toilets and showers in three locations, spaced evenly throughout the 6 rings that make up the park. 

      Cell service is decent, with 2-3 bars of LTE.

In some areas, sites are close in 3 directions. Looks to be better privacy in non electric sites. Study campground map for outside sites.

      Loops: Portions of some sites sort of back up to each other. The sites I took pictures of are some of the better sites for privacy

      Wilderness Road - Cumberland Gap National Historic Park

      Well-maintained, tidy, friendly and flat.

      Arrived around 5 pm on a Monday to ample options for sites. We wanted a flat, electric-only spot for our truck camper and near (but not too near) a bathhouse. Easy to find this: sites are well-laid out and there are multiple bathhouses, all very well-maintained (crisp paint jobs) and very clean. Sites on the lower perimeter will get road noise but interior sites were very quiet. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Campground connects to a couple trails, 5 min drive to main park office and “attractions.”
