Kayakers and anglers find direct access to the Powell River at this RV-focused campground in eastern Tennessee. Mountain Pass Campground sits along the riverbank with both drive-in and boat-in access options, accommodating RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections.
The campground maintains a family-oriented atmosphere with strictly enforced quiet hours. Ellen S. notes that "kayaking the Powell River was a joy," highlighting the water recreation opportunities available directly from the property. While primarily designed for RVs, tent camping is available upon request. The access road requires careful navigation, particularly for larger rigs.
Full amenities include restrooms, showers, a dump station, and WiFi connectivity. The campground enforces rules consistently to maintain its quiet environment, making it less suitable for groups seeking a party atmosphere. Campers can resupply or explore additional camping spots outside Shawanee, located about four miles southeast.
Mountain Pass Campground works well for RV travelers prioritizing river access and a rule-enforced quiet environment over extensive recreational facilities.
