Best RV Parks & Resorts near Flag Pond, TN

Several RV parks surround Flag Pond, Tennessee with varying amenities and hookup options. Grandview Ranch RV Park in nearby Unicoi offers year-round big rig access with full hookups including 50-amp electric, sewer, and water connections. Around Pond RV Park in Greeneville provides similar hookups across its level sites with sanitary dump facilities on property. "We had a lovely experience during our stay in our Class C RV. Wayne the owner operator was the sweetest gentleman. Spot was level with full hookups," noted one visitor about Grandview Ranch. Three Peaks RV Resort in Spruce Pine maintains 31 sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like showers and toilets, though some mountain RV parks feature more compact spacing requiring careful maneuvering.

Mountain access roads present navigation challenges for larger motorhomes at several parks near Flag Pond. Sharp turns and steep grades require careful driving, particularly when approaching campgrounds situated at higher elevations. Most parks in the region accept advance reservations, with some requiring them during peak fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with stronger signals at lower elevations and more limited coverage in mountain valleys. Pet policies are generally accommodating, though restrictions may apply in certain areas. Full-service RV parks typically maintain year-round operation, while those at higher elevations may close during winter months when road conditions become hazardous for larger vehicles.

    Crossville KOA

    One of the nicer KOAs - concrete pads available, private shower rooms.

    KOA I-40/Crossville, TN - We stayed one night in October, full hook ups, 50 amp, good wifi until the evening but our cell service was good. $59.87 per night, $53.88 with KOA discount. Nicely maintained park with level concrete sites in the front with grass, fire rings and picnic tables that were in excellent condition. Friendly, welcoming staff with a nice gift shop/store. Hand dipped ice cream is available along with freshly made pizza and wings if you don’t want to cook. It does sit right next to Highway 70 into Crossville and can be noisy but it didn’t bother us. Each bathroom is a private toilet and shower, very clean, nicely tiled and plenty of hot water. Small laundry, two washers and two dryers but there may have been additional laundry towards the back of the park. The park seems to be broken down into three sections, concrete pad pull throughs in the front, then the office area, then a second section of sites with gravel pads and these are closest to the bathrooms, then further out is another area with a pond or small lake for catch and release fishing. Well manicured property. Would definitely stay again and the ice cream was really good.

    Indian Creek Campground

    Excellent Campground

    Indian Creek Campground in Cherokee, NC is a hidden gem. Nice hosts, clean facilities in the woods. We have a 25 ft pull behind camper and sites are big enough for slide-outs. Picknick table and campfire ring was on site. We had a 30 amp full hook-up site. Campground has tent sites, RV sites, cabins, clean bathhouse and is dog friendly.

    Doe Valley Campground

    Clean, Peaceful, and Convenient

    5/21/23-6/22/23: We stayed a whole month ($500) to recuperate from our previous travels. Owner/manger, Brent Fowler, was a gracious and accommodating host. This is a new 110 acre campground which has only been open a few months (as of this writing). The grounds were well kept and new features are continually being added. There are full-hookups at each site (20/30/50A, water, sewer), high-speed WiFi, and 150 new trees have been planted around the perimeter. While there is presently no water at the dump station, there will be, but water can be used from nearby pull-through sites. Further, a bath-house with showers and laundry facilities are in the works. Mountain City is under 5 miles away and proved to be very convenient. 

    Wildlife in the campground and surrounding area was abound with a variety of birds wakening us each morning, and deer that came into camp regularly. Red winged black birds, swallows, and Cardinals are all abundant and quite vociferous. This new campground has the most important quality down pat: Friendly and supportive ownership! We plan to return next year and will likely stay much longer.

    Mountain River Family Campground

    Home away from Home

    We have been staying at Mtn River for about 3 years now and it’s become ‘home away from home’. You have your choice of river or mountainside sites. We prefer the river sites personally for the views & fishing. 

    The campground owners are fantastic people who’ve become friends. They live on site and take great pride in the property. The property is always impeccable. They are always working. Such a gorgeous place!! The pond is in the center of the property- yes you can fish(catch& release). 

    Areas setup with hammocks, corn hole, seating, etc. The new playground has been a big hit! Oh, and there’s also a dog park area. 

    The bathhouses are super clean and have air conditioning. The laundry room is brand new with great units and also A/C. 

    They incorporated additional activities this year over at the pavilion which our family has loved! Bingo, tie-dye t-shirts, food trucks, live music, and more! Our grandson loves to join us. Lots of kids and a great area for them to all play. 

    Tubing the river is always a fun treat! You can bring your own tubes or rent from the campground. 

    The camp store has expanded and features a mix of items- t-shirts, hats, hoodies, koozies, and more. As well as local jams, rubs, and other treats. They’re in the process of building a new office/camp store so we’re excited to see this complete. 

    We have a 40’ fifth wheel. No problems every getting in. They accommodate all size rigs. All sites have a concrete pad, fire pit and very nice large picnic table. Sites are spacious and do not feel cramped like we've experienced at other campgrounds. 

    Wi-Fi is generally pretty good. We’ve been able to work remote on some of our trips. We even had phone service our last trip(AT&T)! 

    Lots to do in the area! Hiking, Linville Winery(yum!), Linville Caverns, Grandfather Mtn and so many other great places. The office staff can certainly provide plenty of recommendations, too. 

    There are 2 grocery stores in town about 15min away. There’s also a local dollar store about 5min away. 

    We cannot say enough good things about MRFC. We’ve met some great campers there who we now call friends. We truly love this place and already have bookings for next year!

    Emberglow Outdoor Resort

    What all campgrounds should aspire to!

    This is an absolute top-notch campground.  It just opened in the spring of 2020 and I can already tell this is going to be a very popular place.

    First, the staff is incredible.  Everyone is friendly, helpful, and goes out of their way to make you feel at home.  The owner was onsite every day and checked in on us several times.

    The camping options are very unique and diverse.  They have your typical RV sites (all full hookups) and tent sites, all of which have green space around them.  Our site backed up to a beautiful stream with some trees for hammocks and shade.  The tent sites are clustered together next to a stream in the woods, providing tons of shade on hot days.  Nearby are a few treehouses that you can rent, similar to old school sleep-away camping cabins.  Around the corner from the tents are several vintage RVs, many from the 50s, that have been completely renovated with beautiful interiors and modern updates.  They each have their own deck, fire pit, and grill.  My mom stayed in one of these while we were visiting and loved it!  There are also camping pods - basically an igloo shaped cabin that is good for a couple people.  Yurts are just up the hill from those, alongside two beautiful tiny homes that are some of the most unique campground rentals I've ever seen.  Book these early - we were here in late June and they were already full until October!

    The amenities are very nice as well.  There is a resort style pool with built in seating almost all the way around.  It's next to a pavilion area with picnic tables, corn hole, a community fire pit, outdoor movie screen, and performance stage.  Nearby is an inflatable jumping pad and volleyball net.  I spoke with the owner and he has plans to add many other game such as bocce ball as well as complete construction on a playground and wooded play area for kids.  You can also rent many campground games at the camp store such as spike ball and ladder ball.  More hiking trails are being added, and a large dog park made exercising our pup easy.

    Oh and the wifi is off the charts for a campground.  Total coverage everywhere you go.  I was getting 30/30 speeds at my site.  I work remote so it was very important to have good internet, and Emberglow did not disappoint here!  They obviously invested heavily in a quality network infrastructure and it shows.

    The location is nice - off the main roads so you get plenty of peace and quiet, but only 20 minutes to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.  It's easily accessible from Charlotte, Asheville, and Spartanburg, SC.

    Every campground owner needs to come take a look at this place.  This is what campgrounds should be aiming for - clean, modern, lots of nature, friendly staff, good prices, and fun activities.  I was not paid or asked or endorsed in any way to do this review, I simply think this is an awesome place that you should come check out!

    Lake Haven Family Campground

    Stayed for the Location, Left because of the Owners

    As a retired Air Force couple with over five years of experience as full-time RVers, we have stayed at countless campgrounds across the country. We selected Lake Haven for an extended stay this past July while searching for a permanent home in the Lake Watauga area, drawn by its advertisement for year-round availability. The location is excellent, and our site was level with full hookups, a nice picnic table, and a fire pit. Maneuvering into the spot was also straightforward, despite some large boulders. Two concerns: no owners or host(s) onsite and the entrance/exits can be quite dangerous- each located on a curve. We really wanted to love this campground, but the positive aspects were completely overshadowed by the unprofessional behavior of the owners. The tone was set when we received a campground-wide text message asking“Please, for our sake, when away from your camper, set your AC temp to something reasonable(75 is what I use at my house when not home), to help us save on electricity”. While we understand the concern for costs, the request felt invasive. Then it got personal. In the first week of August, our daughter and her family were renting the on-site(3 bed/3 bath) Airbnb, and after she inquired about more toilet paper, one of the owners came to our RV site to confront us about it. We were shocked that a necessity for a rental guest was treated as a major issue, and the confrontational approach was completely uncalled for and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, we later learned from other campers that the owners had been gossiping about our family and our stay. This was a major violation of our privacy and fostered a deeply unwelcoming atmosphere. While the physical campground has potential, we cannot recommend it. Feeling safe and respected is essential when you are camping, and due to the owners’ intrusive and unprofessional behavior, we decided to seek out another campground.

Guide to Flag Pond

Flag Pond sits in the Appalachian Mountains near the Tennessee-North Carolina border at approximately 3,000 feet elevation. The area features steep mountain roads with elevation changes of 1,500-2,000 feet between valley floors and ridge tops. Winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing from November through March, affecting campground operations and road conditions.

What to Do

Fishing in stocked waters: Three Peaks RV Resort in Spruce Pine provides lake fishing opportunities on property. "We trundled my camper up the little hill to check in at the cute market, which has everything from eggs and bacon to kids' toys, treats, and locally made goods," notes Fuller C., who stayed at Three Peaks RV Resort.

Mountain biking trails: Access multiple trail systems from Rutledge Lake RV Resort. "I really like this place, clean, quite, and warm. Nice sites with and great stream and pond on property to fish, and yes it's easy to catch a fish here! Great place to stay if you like mountain biking with DuPont and pisgah national forest being close by," writes ROBBIE at Rutledge Lake RV Resort.

Waterfall hiking: Multiple waterfall hikes within 30-45 minutes of Flag Pond. "Absolutely stunning. Well marked trail's. Never a dull moment. The falls were breath taking. I definitely will make an effort to return to venture further. No handicap access," shared Michelle S. about Linville Falls.

What Campers Like

Creek-side campsites: Mountain Stream RV Park features sites built over the water. "We loved our site, the deck over the rushing stream was a perfect place to sip coffee in the mornings and whiskey in the evenings," explains Anthony I. from Mountain Stream RV Park.

Community gatherings: Weekly events create social opportunities. "Each Saturday evening, Kevin serves up his special home cooked bar-b-que under the shelter at no additional cost, and many campers bring sides to share. It's like having a back yard picnic with friends and family!" shares Duncan C. about Mountain Stream RV Park.

Level sites with full hookups: Most parks maintain level gravel pads. "We had a great stay! We had spot #10 water front. It had plenty of space for the 5 of us and 2 dogs. Nice gravel level sites," notes Donna H. about Rutledge Lake RV Resort.

What You Should Know

Limited operating hours: Office closings impact amenity access. "The only thing I would recommend is keeping office open later then 5. When office closes you can not take boats, or kayak's out. So when you spend day out site seeing and return office is closed. Can not get Ice, wood or boat rentals," advises Donna H.

Variable WiFi quality: Internet connectivity varies significantly at rv sites near Flag Pond, Tennessee. "Overall WiFi was problematic. It took numerous attempts on my computer to connect to the numerous router networks that they have to finally get a connection, but once connected(Bathhouse_North1) was able to get up to 1.2 MB/s, but often dropped to next to zero," reported Ray & Terri F. at Wilson's Riverfront RV Park.

Traffic noise: Some campgrounds experience road noise. "Interstate traffic was loud, WiFi wasn't strong enough to connect to, no amenities other than the bath houses (we didn't use) & walking trail that apparently ran along most of the length of the road," mentions Vickie S. about Wilson's Riverfront RV Park.

Tips for Camping with Families

Playground access: Several parks offer dedicated children's areas. "It's awesome that Ingles grocery store, which has tons of local organic offerings, is only 3 miles away in the town of Spruce Pine. It's a great little town, with lots of art, shopping, and terrific restaurants," notes Fuller C. about Three Peaks RV Resort, who also mentions "the kids' playground, the fenced-in dog park, the game room."

Creek play opportunities: Multiple parks feature shallow creek access. "A nice big creek runs behind most of the campsites. There's a playground for the kids and a little fenced in dog park, too," describes Jess about Linville Falls Campground.

Bathroom quality: Bathroom conditions vary widely between parks. "These are the cleanest bathrooms we've ever seen. The on-site store is a life saver and the hosts are very helpful," reports Phil W. about Linville Falls Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for privacy: Corner and end sites offer more space. "There are a few sites along the creek on the back left that are a little wooded and have some separation, we were in site 86 which was one of them, but most sites are very close together, many probably less than 15' apart," explains Ray & Terri F. about Rutledge Lake RV Resort.

Mountain access challenges: Steep turns require careful navigation for larger RVs near Flag Pond. "The turn in from the North to the 3 main sites via the North driveway is a little sporty, but we managed to just barely make it. The owner said he'd have to work on that," explains Ray & Terri F. about Granny's Place RV Resort.

Arrival timing: Office hours affect check-in procedures. "Nice low key resort. Only back in spots but still nice. The front desk does close at 4 from what I have found though," mentions Mike F. about Rutledge Lake RV Resort.
