Best Campgrounds near Bolivar, TN

The scenery is beautiful. Plenty of fish activity with multiple campsites on the water with a steady breeze. No Potable Water sites. Bathrooms do get cleaned in the morning. Using Verizon and AT&T, service is great averaging between 3-4 bars. Spoke with some of the Rangers. Renovation plans are in place coming January 2026 to make this campground gated with PIN access for paying campers and will be adding RV parking. There is currently an issue with individuals driving to the campsites throughout the day and night utilizing the park’s amenities without paying. First night at least 5 vehicles drove in and took control of the bathrooms/showers for hours throughout the night. One came out and started, what sounded like, a chainsaw. My belief was to intimidate us given we were the only paying campers and we looked at their direction due to the noise they were making. Constant yelling and argumentative behavior among the individuals. It takes the Rangers 20-30 minutes to arrive if called so you have to ride out the uninvited guests and hope they leave you be. The Rangers themselves, are very polite and they were honest about the issue. However with how much ground they have to cover with limited staff and resources they can’t control the situation until the renovations begin. My advice, if you want to avoid potential conflict and harassment wait till the park renovates.

We were long-term tenants at Serendipity RV Park for over two years, paying$950/month. My husband works for Blue Oval, and we want to warn others: this park does not respect or value loyal tenants. On July 8, 2025, a Serendipity employee ran a mower into our RV, damaging our slide-out. Instead of taking responsibility, they brought in Ralph’s Mobile RV Repair—a contractor who showed up without notice and“repaired” it using silicone instead of 2 sided adhesive, it look horrible, he smearing silicone everywhere, and bent up parts of the trim that had not even were not even originally damaged. We documented everything, expressed our concerns immediately. Ralph returned later, didn’t even remove the old silicone, and caked more on top. When we pushed back, he became aggressive and confrontational—at one point suggesting he could“meet” my husband somewhere. Serendipity never inspected the work. Edward, who’s on-site daily, never once came to speak to us. Instead, we got a dismissive text saying they were“satisfied” with the work and that we should“file it on our insurance.” The damage was caused by their own employee—yet they refuse to make it right. On top of that:• They’ve overcharged our card multiple occasions and add illegal card processing fees.• in addition to the$950/monthly space rent, they have installed meters to charge electric ON TOP of the$950(they want MORE money but do not even maintain our lawns properly)• The park is poorly maintained. Grass gets a foot tall before it’s mowed, and employees recklessly use riding mowers near RVs. We were respectful, always paid on time, and expected to be treated fairly. Instead, we’ve dealt with poor repairs, price gouging, and total disregard. If you’re a Blue Oval worker or traveling family, do yourself a favor—avoid Serendipity and Ralph’s RV Repair. You deserve better.
