Best Campgrounds near Medon, TN

219 Reviews

The Medon, Tennessee area contains several established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, including Chickasaw State Park Campground and Big Hill Pond State Park. These parks accommodate a range of camping styles from tent and RV sites to cabin lodging. Chickasaw State Park features full hookup sites with water, electric, and sewer connections while maintaining shaded, spacious campsites. Big Hill Pond offers more rustic experiences better suited for smaller RVs and tent camping. Several privately operated campgrounds such as Parkers Crossroads RV Park and Campground provide additional options with amenities including swimming pools, fishing ponds, and laundry facilities.

Campground accessibility varies seasonally throughout the region, with most facilities open year-round but experiencing different levels of occupancy. Summer months bring higher temperatures and increased visitation, particularly at water-accessible sites around nearby lakes and the Tennessee River. Winter camping offers more solitude but requires preparation for occasional freezing temperatures. Cell service can be spotty in rural areas, with visitors reporting better coverage at higher elevations and developed campgrounds. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly for weekend stays and holiday periods. As one camper noted, "Be sure to set your GPS before leaving I-40 because at least with ATT you will lose signal."

Tennessee state parks in the region consistently receive positive reviews for their maintenance and amenities. Campers particularly value waterfront proximity and shade coverage during summer months. Several campgrounds feature lake access with fishing opportunities, swimming areas, and boat rentals. Bathroom facilities vary considerably between locations, with state parks generally maintaining cleaner facilities than some private operations. Sites at Chickasaw State Park underwent complete renovation, adding sewer hookups and improved facilities that campers appreciate. Visitors frequently mention the family-friendly atmosphere at these campgrounds, with playgrounds and nature centers enhancing the experience. Reviews indicate that campgrounds closer to the interstate experience more noise, while those situated deeper in state parks offer more peaceful surroundings. One reviewer observed that Big Hill Pond State Park offers "great hiking" but is "not for RVs over 26 feet."

    country view rv park

    Close to Rt 40

    They have huge back in spots mostly level even though it’s gravel. It’s in a field so no frills. Dispersed campers look like they live there. It was a quick trip off 40 to get there and it was quiet and spacious. Good for an overnight rest.

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area Campground — Pickwick Landing State Park

    Bruton Branch Recreation Area

    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.

    Serendipity Resort

    Warning to Blue Oval Families& Traveling Workers– AVOID Serendipity RV Park

    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.

    Serendipity Resort

    Trashy, unkept, rude staff, overpriced, no respect for guests

    My husband and I have always loved Serendipity and looked forward to visiting for the last several years.  That has definitely changed with the latest owners.  The girls in the office have smart mouths and zero customer service skills.  The grounds look awful, grown up grass everywhere.  It appears they only mow about 25%.  Food is poor and overpriced.  Ron and Daphne are truly missed.  There is no personality to Serendipity anymore.  It used to be a nice resort style rv park now it ranks as bottom of the barrel.  Just sad.

    Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing RV Campground

    Bookable on The Dyrt!

    Saraj from The Dyrt here. Hidden Oasis at White Oak Landing really lives up to its name. This peaceful RV park sits right on the Tennessee River, so it feels quiet and private in all the best ways. If you're looking for a relaxed, scenic place to unwind, this one’s worth the stop!

    Corinth RV Park

    Muddy uneven mess

    water spickets are buried in a hole and when it rains the hole fills up with mud. Spots seem to be first come first serve even if you reserve one. Camp host is never here and the Ross to the back lot or the top spots is a nightmare. Road sucks!

    Cross City RV Park

    One of the Better Short Stay Campgrounds

    This review is based on a short stay campground (CG). We followed our GPS right to this CG off US-45 just south of Corinth. We were instructed by the very nice owner, Jim, to call when we were 30 minutes out so he could meet us. Jim was right there when we pulled in and we had the choice of two pull throughs or a back-in. We chose back-in site E with FHUs for our two night’s stay. The back-in was easy and the site was fairly level as we had no problems auto-leveling. Water pressure was good at around 45 psi. We had no problems with utilities that were towards the back of the pad as we could back in a good distance. There were no playground, picnic tables nor fire pits. The CG has full timers and seasonal campers, who were very nice. They have a nice bathroom with a shower plus a small laundry with one washer and dryer. The washing is free and drying costs$1. We got two bars on Verizon and a clear shot north for Starlink. This CG is listed under Passport America but looking at reviews on multiple sites, Jim charges everyone the same price around$30. There’s no dog area, but plenty of room to walk your pups. US-45 is near so you get highway noise. After several attempts, we never got connected to the CG’s wifi. Corinth has all your major amenities such as Walmart, Lowes, etc. Borroum's Drug Store and Soda Fountain is a throwback in time and a great place to get lunch. Get there early though, as they fill up fast.We enjoyed our stay in this no frills, laid back, and friendly CG. We would definitely stay here again.

    Serendipity Resort

    different, in a good way

    I enjoyed my 3 nights. I had a great view of a pond and a row of A-frames but the sites on my passenger (viewing) side were not occupied or I would have been billboarded. The  sites are very close together but the season is apparently over. Very little traffic even on thanksgiving. The roads are narrow and the trees get close. Th signage could be better but the host left me a text when I arrived and found me while I was waiting outside the office. Very quiet, no road noise or trains or planes. Just a little longer drive off the main highway
