Kodak features several RV parks providing access to Great Smoky Mountains attractions while avoiding Pigeon Forge congestion. Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park offers spacious sites with full hookups including 50-amp service for larger motorhomes and is easily accessible from major routes. "Very green, clean and quiet, though there's a busy traffic intersection to navigate when arriving," according to one camper. Anchor Down RV Resort in nearby Dandridge provides concrete pads, mountain views, and lakefront premium sites that accommodate big rigs, operating seasonally from March through December. River Plantation RV Resort in Sevierville remains open year-round with both standard gravel sites and premium riverside locations offering full hookups.
Most RV parks in the area require reservations, particularly during fall foliage season and summer holidays when occupancy reaches capacity. Dump stations are available at nearly all parks, though some smaller facilities may have limited availability during peak periods. Many parks enforce pet policies allowing dogs but restricting certain breeds or requiring leashes. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger coverage near Kodak and Sevierville compared to more remote mountain locations. Winter camping options become limited as several parks close seasonally, with notable exceptions including River Plantation and Two Rivers Landing RV Resort which maintain year-round operations with full hookups and winter amenities.

TravelerBeautiful spot in the smoky mountains. State park style amenities, no showers. No hookups. Very busy very open campground. Nice that some trails are walking distance from campground. I would not camp here again. No cell service.
GuideDrove 5 hrs from our last campground to here for event Campground was very well maintained and liked the site. Wasn’t overly crazy about the event not a lot of vendors mainly jeeps went to a few local shops in town had a great lunch at the cookie dough monster.
TravelerFantastic National Park! Elkmont is really nice but lacking in hookups and there are no showers. Hard to stay too long without power, water, sewer and showers. Still, an amazing site along the river!
TravelerThis campground has a great location in maggie valley, close to Waynesville with plenty to do in close proximity. While it is a traditional campground, they have very competitive rates for weekly and monthly stays. For us its the perfect getaway destination for the summers and fall. The staff is super welcomming and friendly. You find a cute creek on the backside of of the campground with trout as some fisherman told me. The staff takes pride in all the flowers, landscaping and seasonal decorations. Also nice to know is you are not being looked down to with an older camper. As long as your rig is decent and functional you are admitted.
TravelerThis worked well for us while we were visiting Dollywood in our trailer, but we wouldn't stay here if we had been in a different type of site. Cons: Unless you have a site up against the river or on patriot park, you are packed in VERY TIGHT with other people, sometimes with your sliders only a foot or two away from your neighbor's sliders. We were in a site that was "on patriot park", but the few first sites of that type are really just behind the trolley parking lot and pick up with a path behind you (including ours). People are on the other side of the fence walking about two feet behind you all day and pretty late in to the night. Pros: There are lot of trees and campground is very pretty. Super close to Dollywood and other Pigeon Forge points of interest.
ScoutBeautiful Campground, but Absolutely NOT Family-Friendly! I rarely leave negative reviews this strongly, but our experience at Turkey Creek Campground was so disappointing that I feel compelled to warn other families. First, I’ll give credit where it’s due. The campground is beautifully maintained, and the creekside sites are incredibly peaceful and serene. It’s a lovely setting, and during the day, the owner is friendly enough and seemingly hospitable. Unfortunately, the hospitality comes to a screeching halt the moment the clock strikes 10 PM.
We were two families camping together with six well-behaved kids who absolutely love the outdoors. We understand and respect campground quiet hours. We weren’t looking to throw parties, blast music, or disturb anyone. But apparently, at Turkey Creek,“quiet hours” doesn’t mean keeping noise to a respectful minimum. It means absolute silence, complete darkness, and seemingly no normal human activity whatsoever.
I’m not exaggerating.
* We were told to turn off ALL our lights at 10 PM.
* We were confronted for opening our vehicle’s trunk because it made a brief beeping sound.
* Our children were startled by a large spider near the bathhouse, and the owner actually yelled at them to be quiet.
* One evening around 11 PM, we were talking quietly INSIDE OUR OWN TENT, barely above a whisper, when the owner approached our tent door to reprimand us for talking.
* On another occasion, he approached us to complain that our children had left TWO STICKS on the ground near the bathrooms. Two sticks! At a campground surrounded by woods, where the kids had just walked down a wooded trail to reach the bathhouse!
And don’t even think about enjoying a little background music while sitting around your campsite. Music of any kind played through a speaker is prohibited, regardless of volume. Apparently, even a little John Denver played quietly while enjoying the mountains is too much to ask. I fully appreciate that some people camp specifically for peace and quiet. We respect that, too. But there is a massive difference between enforcing reasonable quiet hours and making paying guests feel like they’re constantly being watched, monitored, and reprimanded for simply existing. The owner’s enforcement of these rules felt excessive, confrontational, and completely out of proportion to what was actually happening.
Instead of relaxing and enjoying our family vacation, we found ourselves walking on eggshells, worried that the smallest sound, light, or ordinary childhood behavior would result in another confrontation. What makes this particularly frustrating is that our kids were doing exactly what we’d hope children would do on a camping trip: spending time outside, exploring nature, enjoying each other’s company, and making memories away from screens. Yet somehow, even that seemed unwelcome. If we hadn’t already paid for five nights, we would have packed up and left after the very first night. That’s how uncomfortable the experience became.
If you are someone who wants a meticulously maintained campground where everyone retires to complete silence and darkness by 10 PM, Turkey Creek might be perfect for you. But if you’re a family hoping to enjoy a campfire, share some laughs, quietly socialize in the evening, and let your children experience the simple joys of camping, I cannot recommend this place strongly enough AGAINST it.
There are so many beautiful campgrounds in this area, and I cannot imagine choosing to return somewhere that made our families feel so unwelcome. Beautiful property. Extremely disappointing hospitality. Absolutely terrible experience for families. We will never return.
GuideThis is a really nice place, my only issue is that I think $110 with Good Sam is too expensive. I needed a place to stay, so I did. They have laundry and restrooms but I didn't use them.
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.
GuideThis is a beautiful campground but is unfortunately permanently closed. It's sad.
Kodak serves as a strategic base for RV camping along Tennessee's I-40 corridor, positioned between Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The area sits at approximately 1,000 feet elevation with terrain characterized by rolling hills and river valleys. Winter temperatures typically range from 30-50°F, while summer brings 70-90°F temperatures with moderate humidity compared to deeper mountain locations.
Fishing access: Nearby Douglas Lake offers prime fishing spots accessible from Anchor Down RV Resort. "The beach area they've constructed on the lake is INSANE! So so nice! There's a giant blow up slide leading into the lake," according to Becca O., who stayed at the resort.
Bluegrass festivals: Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park hosts renowned bluegrass events that draw visitors from across the region. "We will be returning next year for the bluegrass festival. Also love the quiet kicked back vibe that this place offers," notes Shannon P., highlighting the park's musical heritage.
Family sports: Parks adjacent to campgrounds provide recreational facilities. "King's Holly Haven is next to Wear Farm Park, so if baseball/softball tournaments are going on the campground will be full of ball players. It is very convenient to Pigeon Forge entertainment and the mountains," explains Lori H., who regularly visits the area.
Convenient transit options: Some campgrounds offer transportation to nearby attractions. "Great location on the trolley route (trolley stops right in the resort by the pool). Sites are a little cramped. Wi-Fi poor, good enough only for text emails," mentions Gary T. about his stay at Riveredge RV Park.
Creek settings: Water features enhance the camping experience at several sites. "We picked site 69, or one on either side, it's at the end of the park, right on the creek, and it's near the grassy, open tent area. It is also the shortest walk to the ballfields," recommends Lori H. about Kings Holly Haven.
Off-peak tranquility: Creekside RV Park offers a quieter alternative to busier parks. "The location can't be beat, in an alcove off a major highway that's very quiet at night. Anyone rafting or just enjoying the area would be a fool not to camp here," suggests John H., who has visited multiple times since childhood.
Site selection considerations: Campground layouts vary significantly in terms of privacy and noise. At Kings Holly Haven RV Park, "Our sewer hook up was right in front of our neighbors patio area, and most sites are like this," warns Charles H., though he still rated the park highly.
Wi-Fi limitations: Internet service varies by location and can be unreliable. "Wi-Fi was ok if you could connect to the 5G network but unusable otherwise and did not work in laundry room," reports Kristen M. about Two Rivers Landing RV Resort.
Reservation techniques: Popular parks require advance planning or special tactics. At Anchor Down RV Resort, Beth H. advises: "Call and put your name on a waiting list for the dates you need. If they have cancellations, they call the people on the list instead of releasing the dates on the website!"
