"Located in the Cumberland Gap where TN, VA and Ky touch borders. Very beautiful mountains with hiking trails ftom short distances to overnight primitive camping trials."

Panther Creek State Park was an unexpected find outside of Knoxville, TN , in Morristown. I’ve driven by the sign but no need to camp so close to home."

ScoutWhat a great experience for the whole family and kids and enjoyed the privacy water was a little cold this time of year but I had a great fire next to the river Under the Stars roasting s'mores
GuideHands down the best KOA we’ve camped.
GuideThis is our second time here. I really like this campground. It is right next to the Museum of Appalachia. It's full of peacocks and mini horses and fat little pigs. I really enjoyed hearing the peacocks and donkeys in the morning. There is so much to do around in the area, too. My family lives here so it is very convenient to visit them.
TravelerCampsite was great for our two day stay. Dog friendly, they delivered firewood to my site after I paid, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
LegendOpen May-September, this property is located on Cherokee Lake. There are four glamping tents (two with king beds and two with queen beds) and the newest addition is a Micro A-Frame with a king bed. This used to be a dedicated campsite and can still be used as one as the A-Frame is on wheels and can be moved. We stayed in the A-Frame which has a private fire pit and picnic table.
The A-Frame is cozy with the bed taking up 95% of the space. There is also a small beanbag-type chair, dorm fridge, coffee maker, and two charging pads. There is electricity and light, but it is not bright enough to read in the evening. One of the nicest features is the window side that faces the lake can be opened, making it an open-air accommodation. However, despite it being on the lake, you will also hear almost constant road noise.
The glamping tents are located further away from the lake in the woods so I imagine the road noise would be less or non-existent here.
Ben and Kim, the owners, are still working on this property and they recently completed a very nice bathhouse with two toilets, two sinks, and two outdoor showers. Towels are provided. They are currently working on a boat dock.
We chose the SUP n Stay package (middle price option); included in our reservation was the rental of either a SUP or kayak. The Stay package includes accommodations plus a floating lake mat. The Stay n Play reservation includes the SUP or kayak rental plus a two-hour lake excursion. Unfortunately, it started to rain after we had been out on the lake for about a half hour. The rain resulted in a very muddy area around the A-Frame and Tennessee mud is no joke. We accumulated about an inch of the thick gooey mud on our shoes.
Ben and Kim were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Communication was great and they made sure we had no questions. Our stay in the micro A-Frame was a very unique stay. The only reason for four stars and not five was the mud and road noise.

ScoutAll the staff we encountered were friendly. The cafe has the best food. The chef and wait staff friendly and funny. The assistant general manager took us to the cafe on a golf cart, gave us a tour and had us in stitches. Her and I share the same first name! We would eat there just to ride with her and for the amazing food. The girl that picked us up was very sweet.
The sites are level. No grass to worry about rocks hitting a window when they mow. Campground is super clean, they pick up the trash for guests. The bath house smelled really fresh and clean. There is so much to do there that if you don't want to go sight seeing you can stay and have plenty of fun there.
They have been open a year and still building.
We are local told all of our friends and will only stay here from now on.
TravelerLove the park. Only a few campers this time of the year. Only 1 bathhouse open.
ScoutWe had a fantastic stay at The Farm RV Resort in December. The resort's peaceful, wintery landscape provided the perfect setting for a quiet getaway. The sites were spacious and well-maintained, and the full hook-ups made our stay easy and comfortable. We enjoyed crisp walks around the property, and the community fire pit was a great way to warm up in the evening. The staff was welcoming, and we left feeling refreshed and relaxed. If you’re looking for a cozy, winter retreat, The Farm RV Resort is the place to be!
