Full hookup campgrounds near Allardt, Tennessee, offer RV travelers convenient access to the Cumberland Plateau region. This mountainous area sits at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 feet, creating cooler summer temperatures compared to surrounding lowlands. The region experiences significant seasonal changes, with colorful fall foliage and occasional winter snow affecting camping conditions.
What to do
Offroad adventures: The Windrock Gap Campground & RV Park provides direct access to Windrock Off-road Park. "Just a short distance from Windrock. RV sites have power and water, but are very close together, in my opinion. There are also a few tent sites and cabins. Parking for off-road vehicle trailers," notes camper Steve V.
Historic exploration: Visit the preserved Victorian settlement of Rugby, less than a mile from Brooks Corner Campground & RV Park. "Both the store and town are a step back in history. Star view on a clear night is awesome due to the lack of nearby city lights," reports Jason K.
Water activities: Multiple lakes surrounding Allardt provide paddling opportunities. "Several places to put our kayaks in the water near here," mentions Charity at Owl Hollow Retreat RV Park. Dale Hollow Lake, approximately 30 minutes from McDermit RV Park, offers fishing and boating options.

Quiet settings: Multiple RV sites near Allardt emphasize peaceful environments. "This RV park is amazing. The owner is very welcoming and kind. Our dog is able to run for the first time in months here," notes Charity at Owl Hollow Retreat. Jason W. says about Paradise on the Mountain: "It's close to restaurants and shopping, and many places to hike. There is a great dog trail and a fenced dog run."
Stargazing opportunities: The rural nature of the region creates excellent night sky viewing. "Star view on a clear night is awesome due to the lack of nearby city lights," mentions Jason K. about camping near Rugby. The minimal light pollution throughout the Cumberland Plateau creates optimal conditions for astronomy enthusiasts.
What you should know
Water quality varies: Some campgrounds have reported water issues. At Maple Hill RV Park & Cabins, one camper observed: "When we unhooked and sprayed out our filter, it was filled with filthy gunk. This should not be the case with a week's stay."
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds feature uneven terrain. At Royal Blue RV Park, a camper reported: "It's uphill and was very difficult to level out the rv. Ours like many is self leveling and it just couldn't make it happen."
Limited services: The rural location means planning ahead for supplies. Josh J. notes about Brooks Corner: "Propane is available for: 20lbs swap-outs at the local Dollar Trees (Jamestown or near Eglin/Robbins both are ~20m away). Fillings at Tractor Supply (Oneida ~40m/Jamestown ~25)."
