What campers like
Concrete patios with outdoor amenities: Several rv sites near Belvidere, Tennessee feature upgraded concrete pads with furnished patios. "What we first noticed was the large cement patio with table, chairs, bench, stand up barbecue, and fire pit. The utilities are located smartly in the middle of the pad to include an extra sewer connection near the pad's front," describes a visitor at Rvino - The Broken Banjo.
Direct water access: Lakeside positioning allows for convenient water recreation without leaving your campsite. "This is a place that I grew up camping with my family, and spent countless days on our pontoon boat or kayaks on Tim's Ford Lake. It's a lovely, quiet campground with a great nature center, hiking trails, playgrounds, a pool, and lake access for boating and swimming," shares a camper about Tims Ford State Park.
Pet-friendly facilities: Designated pet areas provide space for dogs to exercise safely. "We reserved one of the spots with a fenced in area for our pups that connected to the camper. They loved having a place to stretch their legs and running around in the grass after 2 days on the road," notes a visitor at Rvino - The Broken Banjo.
What you should know
Train proximity: Some campgrounds have nearby railway activity that may create noise during overnight stays. "There's a train track nearby. It didn't bother us, but light sleepers might want to bring earplugs just in case," advises a camper at River Road RV Park & Horse Camp.
Seasonal capacity: Fall brings higher occupancy rates, particularly during foliage seasons when advance reservations become essential. "We were impressed with this CG with the only caveat that there's quite a bit of highway noise from the interstate. However, the noise did not overweigh our satisfaction," reports a visitor at Rvino - The Broken Banjo.
Site selection considerations: Many campground sites have specific features that affect RV positioning. "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 and wood is provided at no cost. Views are incredible. Perfectly positioned for amazing sunsets," explains a visitor at Twin Creeks RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly recreation options: Multiple campgrounds feature designated play areas and activities. "There's also a swimming pool, pickleball court, catch & release pond plus other amenities... They have glamping cabins, teepees, and a covered wagon with nice patio decor," describes a visitor to Rvino - The Broken Banjo.
Accessible waterfall hiking: Several trails provide family-friendly waterfall access with moderate hiking difficulty. "We did this hike in the afternoon and got a nice dip in at the falls since it was such a hot day. There were lots of people there enjoying the space and everyone was incredibly friendly," shares a visitor at Greeter Falls Campground.
Farm-based camping experiences: Some local campgrounds operate on working farms, providing unique experiences. "We stayed at River Road RV Park and Horse Camp and had a great experience. It's a quiet, no-frills spot on a working farm—perfect if you're looking for a place to relax and recharge after a day of exploring," notes a camper at River Road RV Park & Horse Camp.
Tips from RVers
Left-side hookup configurations: Some Belvidere area rv sites feature unusual hookup placements that require specific parking orientation. "All sites are pull-in with full (50 amp) hook-ups on the left side," notes a visitor at Twin Creeks RV Resort.
Site selection for larger rigs: Certain campgrounds accommodate big rigs more easily than others. "The sites are decently spaced and site 27 was the easiest pull through we've ever had as it's angled straight in from the street, no turns or maneuvering to center the rig," reports a visitor to Rvino - The Broken Banjo.
RV pad features: Campground surfaces vary from gravel to paved concrete. "Cement pads to park on. A laundry room, pavilion and showerhouse. There is a dog park and you are off the beaten path," describes a visitor to Redstone Arsenal RV Park & Campground.
