Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Just off I-75 north of Knoxville, Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park sits in Heiskell, Tennessee, functioning primarily as a stopover for travelers moving through the region. The layout is straightforward: a large gravel lot with sites arranged closely together, a handful of trees scattered across the property, and benches positioned along the perimeter in shaded spots. This is not a wilderness experience. It is a well-maintained RV park with full hookups, a dog run, laundry facilities, and a lending library inside the laundry room.

Sites run close together, which multiple reviewers note is the tradeoff for an otherwise functional setup. Pull-through sites accommodate rigs up to 60 feet. Shade is minimal across most of the lot. The park accepts non-members of the Escapees organization, though member rates apply for those who belong. Larry sums up the experience concisely: "Clean, well kept and friendly." Staff have been noted as approachable and helpful, particularly for newer RVers working through hookup logistics for the first time.

Access is easy. The interstate proximity means quick on and off without significant road noise reaching the sites. Nightly rates run $23 to $30, and reservations are available. Pets are welcome in the fenced dog run. For those exploring camping near Heiskell, the area has a few alternatives worth considering, including Volunteer Park Family Campground to the northeast and Quarter Horse RV Park to the southwest for campers wanting a different setup.

Many campers appreciated the clean facilities, helpful staff, and reasonable pricing. Sites are close together in a gravel lot setting with minimal shade, making it ideal for overnight stays rather than extended camping.

Kind and helpful staff

We are new to full time camping. The staff was understanding and knowledgeable enough to help us get started with a few hiccups. The gentleman who mows the grass was my hero when I had to do my hook ups for the first time.

Nice, tight

Easy on off interstate, far enough away not much road noise. Pretty average but does have a reasonable fenced dog run.

Simple, affordable, accessible.

This a an RV park, not a resort. It has everything you need: full hook ups, dog park, laundry. Clean, well kept and friendly. Sites are small and close, but work even for the larger rigs.

A safe and reasonably priced place to spend a night while traveling, or a couple while exploring the area.

Friendly campground!

This is an Escapees member campground, but we were able to stay two night for a very reasonable price since we aren't members. Sites are close together, but that just makes it more neighborly. Nice laundry room with a lending library (one of my favorite features!) Easy access to the highway.

True RV park right off 1-75

Raccoon Valley RV park is literally just an RV park. The park was very clean and well maintained, and would be a nice place to park for a night as part of a longer trip. The RV park is just right off 1-75, just north of Knoxville, so it would be easy to hop on and off the interstate. The property is just a large gravel parking lot, with a few trees scattered throughout. Not really my kind of camping, but nearly all the spots were full.

The park has a large laundry facility, and a dog park for people traveling/camping with pets. I did see some benches located in the perimeter of the property in shady spots for relaxing.

I assume some of the guests are long term residents, but the sites were all so neat and clean, without built on structures and such that I’ve seen at most places. This RV park will be perfect for some!

Not all what we expected

We visited Racoon Mountain camp ground for the Memorial weekend. With limited campsites open due to COVID-19 we were lucky to get a spot. The staff was great as they greeted us at the entrance and even guided us to our campsite. We had a pull through site with minimal shade and a little closer than what we are normally use to. There are several tent sites along the creek, but no camper sites on the creek😞. For those who don't camp, there are also cabins available to rent! The campsite is conveniently within walking distance of the caves. We went on a guided tour and had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it very enjoyable for my family. We will not come back to this site because we like to be more in the mountains, but this campsite would be great for those who like to be near attractions (cave and downtown Chattanooga).

Narrow spots, little shade

Would be okay for a quick night stay, but nothing more.
