28 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Parksville Lake RV Campground and Whitewater RV Park - Ocoee TN provide popular full hookup options for motorhome travelers near Copperhill. Parksville Lake features shaded sites with water, electric, and sanitary dump station access, though several pull-through spots may be unavailable during peak periods. "The RV Campground area is nicely shaded. Several sites were closed in mid-September due to social distancing. If interested in this area, I would try to lock in a spot as early as you can," notes one visitor. Whitewater RV Park offers 24 concrete pad sites with 50-amp service and complete hookups, making it suitable for larger rigs. Ocoee RV Park provides 46 sites with full hookups including sewer connections, while Foxfire of Murphy RV Park accommodates 16 RVs with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service.
Driving access requires careful navigation through mountainous terrain with potentially sharp turns along highways 64 and 74. The best RV parks maintain level concrete pads, though some facilities offer only gravel surfaces that may require leveling blocks during wet weather. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, but facilities like Chilhowee Recreation Area operate seasonally from April through November. According to one visitor, "This park is close to everything. We spent the day hiking the mountain next to rv park. Then went kayaking down the river across the street. The sites are level and concrete with a nice fire pit." Pet policies vary across facilities, with most allowing dogs but enforcing leash requirements. Cell service can be spotty in valley locations, particularly at parks nestled between mountains or along creeks.
"Parksville Lake RV Campground is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic stay here. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the sites are nice, spacious, and wonderfully shaded by the trees."
"So peaceful. The campground hosts were phenomenal!!! They made sure all campers had everything they need. They also make sure people are following the rules!!"

ScoutI camped here with a friend last weekend and absolutely loved this place! It's a cute little site with a great host, clean bathrooms, free firewood, and super friendly dogs, goats, and people. I would for sure stay here again and recommend.
ScoutA great find to hang your hat for the evening. New owners look like they are doing amazing up grades. Our site 57 didn’t have a picnic table or fire ring but I’m sure they are working on it. Fairly quite and we would for sure come back and give it a 5 star when their done on the remodel.
GuideParksville Lake RV Campground is an absolute gem! I had a fantastic stay here. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the sites are nice, spacious, and wonderfully shaded by the trees. We loved the layout of the RV loop, especially the outer section where a peaceful creek flows right past the sites—the sound of the water at night was perfect. The restrooms and showers were exceptionally clean and well-kept. I had Starlink connectivity at my site and my WeBoost cell signal booster gave me up to three bars on AT&T. The campground host was incredibly nice, welcoming, and helpful. It's a wonderful, relaxing spot, and I will definitely be back!
GuideA sign on the gate says that the area has been closed "due to vandalism and unauthorized activity".
GuideThis is one of several USFS campgrounds that are within a few miles of each other. The cost is only $8/night, first come first served. The sites are fairly large with about half of them on a wide, clear creek. There is no running water, but there are bear proof trash cans and vault toilets that were fairly clean, but didn't smell great.
There is free potable water and an RV dump station about a mile away at the North River Game Checking Station on River Road near the Spivey Cove campground..
The campsite was clean with picnic table, fire ring, and a lantern post. The fire ring was almost full of ashes and it appears that campers have to clean them out themselves.
The Green Cove Angler store is a couple miles away and has ice, firewood and other camper things.
Unfortunately, while we were there, it was bear hunting season and another camper had multiple barking and baying dogs that went on and on for hours.
TravelerWater was very low and poor quality. Host was friendly but don’t buy his wood - it doesn’t burn well. County water tasted funny, probably minimal treatment. We had quite a hike to the restroom, which wasn’t regularly cleaned.
ScoutVery pretty site but its right on the road
ScoutThis was a very nice campground! The tent areas are partially gravel so it helped the area be less muddy after rain. Beautiful view of the river and would be a great place to fish! Bathrooms are very nice! Comes with a nice fire pit and didn’t have to use own grate! Pet friendly! Staff was very nice and helpful!
Only complaint was some of their quiet hours were confusing. The quiet hours on the email said 10pm to 7am but then sign posted at bathroom was 11pm-7am for quiet hours.

Road access challenges: Mountain roads require careful driving, especially with larger vehicles. "To get to this campground you have to go up a steep narrow windy mountain road. The camp sites are distanced well and the entire campground is in the shade," cautions a visitor at Chilhowee Recreation Area.
Seasonal operations: Many facilities close during winter months. Chilhowee Recreation Area operates from April through November with limited services available during shoulder seasons.
Site selection for big rigs: Tight turns can challenge larger RVs at some campgrounds. "Only issue with Parksville lake is that it is a tight drive into the sites. Otherwise nice and quiet campground," advises one camper.

Pack weather-appropriate gear: Mountain weather can change rapidly, with temperature swings of 20+ degrees possible in a single day, even in summer.
Site leveling needs: Prepare for varied site conditions across different parks. "We had a 38' 5th wheel trailer and it nicely fit in our space with room for the truck. The owner is extremely helpful and willing to give directions to nearby locations," notes a visitor to Whispering Pines Campground.
Connectivity considerations: RV camping near Copperhill, Tennessee often means limited cellular access. "Cell service with T-Mobile not existent. They have WiFi but not very fast," reports a Top of the World RV visitor.
