RV parks near Loudon provide multiple options for short and extended stays.

Love's RV Hookup in Loudon maintains four sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and dump station access. Caney Creek RV Resort & Marina offers concrete sites with full hookups, though spaces between rigs can be limited. Blue Moon RV Park in Athens accommodates big rigs with 50-amp service and pull-through sites. "Sites are a little tight but concrete and pretty level. At our particular sight the sewer was toward the front of the sight but I had enough hose to get to it."
Many RV parks in the region require advance reservations, especially during peak travel seasons when sites fill quickly. Cell service varies considerably between locations, with several reviews noting strong signals at Caney Creek and Blue Moon RV Park that support streaming and remote work. Interstate access proves convenient for overnight travelers, with Overnite RV Park positioned just off I-75 between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Most parks welcome pets, though specific restrictions may apply. Dump stations are available at several locations, including Southlake RV Park and Love's RV Hookup, while others provide only at-site sewer connections. A review for Overnite RV Park cautions that "we had one hell of a time getting out in the morning" due to tight maneuvering space when the park is at capacity.
"Very nice facilities. We were just here for an overnight between Virginia Beach and New Orleans. Had spot C1, which is directly across from the restrooms/showers. Partial shade, nice little deck."
"The tent sights are located right on a great fishing cove on Fort Loudon reserve. We booked tent site 7 but when we got there someone was fishing off the point where our campsite was supposed to be."
from $28 - $38 / night

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 as I prefer more separation and privacy. No cell service. STARLINK is usable but obstructed with tree canopy
GuideLeft Pigeon Forge Tn. GPS took us on an adventure, route 129 The Tail of the Dragon 318 curves switchback and hairpins I was nervous but slayed it. Lol. Peachtree Cove RV Park is perfect for quiet camping. Dog run area stream or river at most sites. I had a reservation at Andrew’s Valley Railway Tour highly recommend both of these
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
Loudon, Tennessee sits at 815 feet elevation on the Tennessee River, surrounded by the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Camping options in this region feature riverside settings with varied terrain from wooded hillsides to open waterfront spaces. Water levels fluctuate seasonally on Fort Loudon Lake and surrounding waterways, affecting shoreline camping and boat access throughout the year.
Fishing from tent sites: Southlake RV Park offers waterfront tent sites with direct lake access. "If you are wanting to fish the bank or even put in kayaks this spot is money. The tent sights are located right on a great fishing cove on Fort Loudon reserve," notes Nate H.
Off-road adventures: The area provides access to Windrock Gap Campground & RV Park near the Windrock Off-road Park. "Just a short distance from Windrock. RV sites have power and water... Parking for off-road vehicle trailers. Firewood and ice available at the office," reports Steve V. Vehicles can access trails directly from some camping areas.
Water recreation: Multiple campgrounds offer water access for boating, swimming, and paddling. "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," explains Becca O. about Anchor Down RV Resort, noting special amenities for water enthusiasts.
Quiet creekside settings: Parksville Lake RV Campground offers peaceful stream-adjacent sites. "There are several sites along a beautiful little creek. It was peaceful, only the occasional car on the nearby road," shares Robert G., highlighting the natural water features available at some locations.
Mountain views: Top of the World RV provides exceptional vistas. "Great Mountain top, RV getaway, water and electric hookup, quiet and pet friendly. Amazing views of the morning sunrise over the mountain tops," Roy S. explains. The higher elevation camping options offer different climate conditions than valley locations.
Seasonal activities: "Every Saturday in October, campers decorate their site and hand out candy to the costumed campers!" describes Becca O., highlighting special events at select rv parks. Seasonal programming varies significantly between summer and fall at most campgrounds in the Loudon area.
Cell service variations: Connectivity differs greatly between rv parks in Loudon, Tennessee. "I have a dual LTE router that I was only getting ATT 3G signal with normal antennas but once I connected the exterior antenna I had been waiting to install I got 4 bars ATT LTE (105 dbM)," reports Josh J. from Southlake RV Park, noting technological workarounds may be necessary.
Tight maneuvering spaces: Campground layouts can present challenges. At Blue Moon RV Park, "We have a 30' travel trailer and the pull-thru site wasn't long enough for us to stay hooked up to our truck for the night," according to Barbara C. Many sites require precise positioning of larger rigs.
Bathroom and shower access: Facilities vary greatly between properties. "The bathroom and shower house is small and older, but very clean," mentions Robert G. about Parksville Lake RV Campground. Some sites offer modern restrooms while others provide basic facilities.
Kid-friendly water features: Many campgrounds offer specialized swimming areas for younger visitors. At Caney Creek RV Resort, one camper notes "Out door pool with a kids pool, Play ground, Basketball, Corn hole, Horse shoe," listing family-oriented amenities at rv parks near Loudon.
Playground proximity: Little River Campground & RV Resort offers family-focused activities. "They had crafts and hayrides while we were here," reports Lisa C., indicating scheduled programming for children at certain times.
Road noise considerations: Some tent camping areas experience morning traffic sounds. "The tent spots towards the point are apparently very close to the hwy and morning commute traffic was pretty loud. It is probably not near as loud on the weekends," Nate H. advises at Southlake RV Park, suggesting weekday versus weekend differences.
Leveling requirements: Many rv sites near Loudon require adjustment. "Sites are not well developed with power and sewer in odd places," notes Chuck W., indicating preparation for precise positioning may be needed at certain locations.
Booking strategies: Advance reservations are essential for popular rv parks. "It is so hard to get a reservation here, so we decided to take what we could get so we could try it out! A tip to get reservations! 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," suggests Beth H.
Utilities placement: Hookup locations vary significantly between sites. "At our particular sight the sewer was toward the front of the sight but I had enough hose to get to it," Tanner H. explains about Caney Creek RV Resort & Marina, highlighting the need for extended connections at some locations.
