Best Tent Camping near Bean Station, TN

When you’re camping in a tent, that’s is a big plus

Across the road from the “resort and spa” that houses the rent-by-the-hour hot spring hot tubs. Situated along the beautiful French Broad River. They offer cabins (primitive to full amenities), RV sites, tent sites with electric, tent sites without and primitive tent sites way at the beach with no tables or fire rings. Plenty of shade and trees. Bath houses. The campground is now gated. The AT runs right in front of it as it passes through the adorable little town. There is a little outdoor outfitter, a couple restaurants... beautiful hikes which ever direction you go.

So I use this app to find tent camping sites. To me, that’s kinda what a campground is. A good variety of both. This turned out to be mostly RVs and then three tents, one including mine. Needless to say, it was loud. For what it was, it was great. For what I thought it would be, it wasn’t. They have a lot of cool amenities and I will totally come back if I ever get a camper. But I wouldn’t just tent camp there again I don’t think.

I was passing through on my way north and this was midway. I picked this site because it met my criteria for quick tent camping and has the awesomely easy instant book feature. More of that please!

The hosts were really great and what they’ve done with the campsite and what they are working on is amazing. The views of the lake were amazing. There is a sitting area and a dock with paddle sport launches. There is a wash house with toilet and sink but no showers yet.

I was tent camping. There were tents/yurts for rent. A few other tent campers, a full size RV motorhome and a camper van. There was plenty of room and it was peaceful and quiet.

Nice clean gated park. Nice big spots. Only 3 fifty amp full hook up sites. Lots of 30 amp and tent camping. Right on the river.

Right off the highway. Tent sites around back. You can swim in the river. Typical campsite.

Phenomenal bathhouses but a splash in the river is all you really need. We had a great late July tent camp here with our 4 and 1 year old. The staff were very kind and accommodated our late arrival

We stayed in the waterfront walkin only tent site right by the river. Beautiful!!!

Restrooms and showers are very clean with AC!

Only 20 min from downtown gaitlinburg!

Tent sites along a little creek. It has bathrooms a few places through the park. Has a waterfall with a swim hole that's nice. Also beautiful in the fall!!

Having both RV and tent campgrounds, each with large fire pits and lantern stands, this peaceful creekside setting lies just beyond low mountain farms in the northern part of Greene County Tennessee. A thick forest of deciduous trees partially isolates each campground for a relaxed evening of fire provided comfort and repose.

Dirt site by the River all hook ups. They also have small cabins and tent sites. Walking distance to trails and town. Spa with hot spring hot tubs across the street.

Location is convenient but definitely more suited for campers than tents. Highway traffic noise (semis, engine braking) is LOUD...might be ok in a camper but not in a tent. Sites are small, close together and mostly gravel. Facilities are nice and clean.

Great clean and safe camp site for the family. They have RV, deluxe tent and primitive tent sites. Easy tubing from one end of the campground to the other. Easy walk into town or easy walk to hike the mountains. Well maintained and clean bathrooms and showers.

The property and bathhouse were super clean. Owners are friendly. Creeks were nice.  Tent sites are small. And there are 2 roads on each side of the creek you can hear cars all night and see headlights in your tent. We were not a fan of the sites themselves.

We had a wonderful time camping! Its mostly for RVs, but they accommodated us for tent camping. The site is beautiful and well kept, everyone was so very friendly. Kayaking the Powell River was a joy. Read the rules before you go, they are there to keep the campground a family place
