RV camping near Beersheba Springs involves navigating the Cumberland Plateau's variable terrain with elevations around 1,800 feet. Located approximately 30 miles southeast of McMinnville, the area experiences distinct seasonal shifts with cool nights even during summer months. Mountain roads connecting campgrounds require careful driving, especially after rainfall when unpaved sections can become slick.
What to do
Hiking to waterfalls: Located steps from Greeter Falls Campground, trails lead to multiple cascade features. "Very clean bath house and grounds. Friendly staff inside small camp store. Spacious sites. Walk or drive to Greeter Falls trailhead for a beautiful waterfall hike," reports Jennifer U.
Exploring rocky terrain: The varied topography creates unique hiking opportunities. "We have used this spot as a late night stopover while en route to Florida. Little ways off the interstate, but has full hookups," notes Michael L. about Bigfoot Adventure RV Park.
Water recreation: Several nearby campgrounds offer water features. "Had a blast fishing in the ponds. Didn't get a chance to zip line but looks like a blast. They seem to be adding things… disc golf maybe. Great park with clean facilities," mentions Frank A. about Bigfoot Adventure.
What campers like
Forest surroundings: The wooded setting creates natural privacy at many sites. "Trees so can add my tarp for possible rain. Restful sleep. Parked by my deluxe primitive site. It comes with hot shower and flush toilet. Porta potties close by lit with fairy lights at night," describes Michelle P. at Greeter Falls.
Animal encounters: Proximity to local wildlife enhances the camping experience. "I saw a deer on the way to the bathroom. Appreciate the trash cans, water and electricity. Close to gas, food. I went to Coalmont. The Mexican food was authentic. Amazing," adds Michelle P.
Adventure activities: Camp Chet offers extensive trail systems. "Camp Chet is a beautiful camping ground with numerous hiking trails to explore. We hiked to the top of the red trail and hung our hammocks as we enjoyed the blue ridge vista in the sunshine. Absolutely stunning!" shares Alycia J.
What you should know
Cell service quality: Coverage varies significantly by location and provider. "I have Verizon and had 3 bars and LTE and the data signal was strong for me. Was able to stream, FaceTime, pretty much whatever I wanted," reports Thomas H. about his stay at Greeter Falls.
Road conditions: Access to some sites requires careful navigation. "If you are just passing through or if you plan to explore and spend very little time at your campsite, this is a good place. It's new, clean, and well maintained," notes Ron W. about R&R RV Campground.
Site specifics: Check measurements before booking. "Be sure to check the site measurements. Our only complaint was the site size & distance to our neighbor. We stayed at primitive site 1. Flat area for your tent, then a slight slope towards the walkway," advises Karlie at Greeter Falls Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds and recreation: Many campgrounds offer dedicated children's areas. "They have a fenced in dog park area centrally located in area c, seemed of good size with lots of trees. They have a little sand pit area for kids to play in," notes Thomas H. about Greeter Falls.
Kid-friendly hikes: Hammock'Sway provides natural exploration opportunities. "From the open hilly land that we chose as our site (plenty of solar power!), to the pine forests and incredible creek, this is by far our favorite campground on the East side of the States," shares Kayla N.
Safety considerations: Remote locations require additional planning. "Only found it because another camper, who seemed to be familiar with area, assisted me. If sections or spots are named after the name reserved online, you wouldn't know this arriving as there is only red reflectors," explains Thomas J. about Hammock'Sway.
Tips from RVers
Leveling requirements: Many RV sites in the area need adjustment. "Booked two rv sites for this past Labor Day weekend for my wife and I and her sister's family. Very easy to get to, paved roads. Our rv sites were gravel, required some leveling, had FHUs," explains Thomas H. at Greeter Falls.
Site layout awareness: Twin Creeks RV Resort offers specific site configurations. "All sites are pull-in with full (50 amp) hook-ups on the left side. Sites are large, newly paved and are equipped with very new, clean picnic tables. No fire rings...but there are 10 communal ones near the water," observes Susan & Kevin W.
Space considerations: Many area campgrounds can accommodate larger rigs. "If you need work on your rig, there are lots of places real close by as well as camping world. The sites aren't bad there's just no shrubs or trees or anything. It's just really good gravel and some grass and a picnic table," reports Missy C.
