      Elkmont Campground — Great Smoky Mountains National Park

      Beautiful 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 as I prefer more separation and privacy. No cell service. STARLINK is usable but obstructed with tree canopy

      Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg KOA Campground

      Busy but Nice

      This 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.

      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      4th Time Here

      This is our number one favorite place to camp. We are from Knoxville, TN and if we are wanting to camp for the weekend but avoid the drive, this is where we come! Area 1 site 25 is our favorite and we are super excited to stay at 108 and 109 in the future. The campground is beautiful. Area 1 is shaded with plenty of trees around making it feel like you're in a little forest, and of course fall is wonderful. Some sites have sewer. I have T-mobile cell phone and I have 3 bars at 5g and my husband has xfinity and has 2 bars at 4G.

      Love this campground!

      Gateway RV Campground - Tennessee

      A Great Place to Stay

      We really enjoyed our stay at Gateway RV Campground! After spending plenty of time on the road, it’s always nice to find somewhere you can park up, relax, and feel at home.

      The campground has a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and was a great place to unwind.

      One of the real bonuses is the trolley that stops right outside the campground office. What a fantastic convenience! It makes getting out and exploring the local area so much easier without having to pack everything up and take the RV. Such a simple touch, but one that makes a big difference when you’re traveling.

      We’ve stayed at plenty of RV parks during our travels, and it’s often the little things that make a place stand out.

      All in all, a very enjoyable stay, and we’d happily return if we’re passing through the area again. Definitely worth a stop!

      Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

      Nice campground.

      Level paved spot, partial shade (site 140), quiet, sites not too close together, cooler evenings than LA (lower AL). Nice staff. Not crowded.

      Davis Branch Campground

      River Sounds

      6 back in campsites, right off a paved road, sites are 20 yards from river, fishing, peaceful, cooler than in town. Outhouse is clean and has TP. Not much traffic on the road, not many campers. There are several campgrounds in the same general area on the river. All are nice, we had our pick and chose Davis. No power, water, or dump but there's a store just down the road that has fishing gear, ice, firewood, drinks, and vices. Good spot in a cool location.

      Cades Cove Campground

      Very Nice

      Great campsites, little closer together than what I like but still nice and shaded all paved. Have three dump stations that are very nice. Will definitely come back. Better have reservations, cause it does stay full.

      Beautiful overnight stay

      We’re heading down to Florida and this was along our route. Our site was right next to the lake. Quiet and very peaceful until 7am lol! People get going right away lol!

    Guide to Loudon

    Tent and RV campgrounds near Loudon, Tennessee span forested mountains to lakeside settings across Roane, Monroe, and Blount counties. These facilities sit at elevations between 800-1,800 feet, with summer temperatures averaging 75-90°F and winter lows sometimes dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds maintain facilities year-round, though some mountain locations close seasonally between November and March.

    What to do

    Paddle the lakes: Cumberland Mountain State Park offers boat and kayak rentals with no private boats permitted on their lake. "Great place to visit with large pool, canoe and paddle boat rentals. No privately owned boats on lake," explains one visitor at Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground.

    Take the Cades Cove Loop: This popular scenic drive starts and ends at Cades Cove Campground with wildlife viewing opportunities. "The main attraction for most is a driving tour loop that starts & ends right at the campground. You drive around a valley with rivers running through and you're surrounded by mountains. Tons of wildlife, even saw a bear from a distance," notes one camper.

    Hike the mountain trails: Frozen Head State Park provides multiple trail options with varying difficulty levels. A visitor at Frozen Head State Park Campground shares, "For those who like to hike, there is a trail around the lake. One can also use this trail for bike ridding. Camp sites are spacious and have lots of trees for Eno hanging."

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the room between sites at Indian Boundary. "This is a very lively, well traveled RV Park and Campground. The park has quite a few large sites for big rigs that are about 80-100ft long," reports a visitor at Sweetwater KOA.

    Clean bathhouses: Well-maintained facilities consistently receive positive mentions. "The bathhouse is beautiful with cedar stalls. Lots to do with the hiking. Waterfalls were beautiful and everyone we talked to was super helpful and nice," mentions a visitor at Frozen Head State Park.

    Kid-friendly amenities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated areas for children. "Swimming pool, fishing pond, playground, jump pad. We don't have pets, but there is a small dog park area. Lots of planned weekend activities," notes a camper at Sweetwater KOA.

    What you should know

    Seasonal closures: Several mountain campgrounds close during winter months. "Cades Cove is open early March – October and reservations are required. If you arrive without a reservation, there is a phone line there that you can call to make them," explains a camper.

    Bear safety requirements: Proper food storage is mandatory in this region. "Very strict rules regarding food storage and park has managed to control bears and raccoons," shares a visitor at Elkmont Campground.

    Reservation needs: Popular sites fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "Reservations needed during peak times. Great place to visit with large pool, canoe and paddle boat rentals," mentions a Cumberland Mountain State Park visitor.

    Long-term residents: Some campgrounds have shifted toward extended-stay campers. "This has been our #1 go-to spot and this year it has turned into a predominately long-term camping location," reports a visitor at The Crosseyed Cricket.

    Tips for camping with families

    Swimming areas: Look for campgrounds with designated beach areas for safer water play. "There's a lake with a sandy area, and a beautiful mountain range to enjoy. It's my favorite camping spot!" shares a visitor at Indian Boundary.

    Organized activities: Some campgrounds schedule events for children. "The park goes all out for the holidays. We are a month out from Halloween and they have done a spectacular job with decorating. They have lots of kids events. On Saturday there is a train that takes kids and adults on a ride around the park," notes a Sweetwater KOA camper.

    Pet-friendly options: Many facilities welcome pets with designated areas. "Plenty of room for our dogs to walk/potty. Plenty for the kids to do-- arcade room, jump pad, and playgrounds," reports a visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain that requires preparation. "Sites not completely level. Propane fairly priced. Good cable, easy hookups. Most sites have dual sewer connects, makes it easier," explains a visitor at Windrock Campground.

    Hookup locations: Pay attention to where utilities connect when booking. "At our particular sight the sewer was toward the front of the sight but I had enough hose to get to it," shares a camper at Caney Creek RV Resort.

    Road considerations: Access roads can be challenging for larger vehicles. "Road leading in is VERY narrow, don't know how two rigs could pass each other. Get a patio site if you can, they're very nice," advises a Sweetwater KOA visitor.
