Best RV Parks & Resorts near Shawanee, TN

RV parks near Shawanee provide diverse options for recreational vehicles. Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge operates from March through December with full hookups including 50-amp service and water connections. Forest Grove RV Resort features 200 RV sites with both 30-amp and 50-amp electrical options, suitable for larger vehicles. Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park in Kodak accommodates big rigs with sewer, water, and electrical connections on level sites. Two Rivers Landing RV Resort in Sevierville remains open year-round with full hookup capabilities but prohibits campfires. "Sites, even in the RV loops, are well spread out with mature trees separating them. Sites can be hilly, even the RV pads, so be cautious on site selection," noted one reviewer.

Navigation to certain mountain campgrounds requires careful planning due to narrow roads and elevation changes. Several parks provide sanitary dump stations, with Escapees Raccoon Valley RV Park and Anchor Down offering this essential service. Cell reception varies throughout the region, though most established RV parks maintain adequate connectivity. During peak seasons, particularly fall, advance reservations are strongly recommended as parks fill quickly. Most facilities welcome pets but enforce leash requirements. While some parks like Forest Grove provide on-site markets for basic supplies, others require bringing provisions. When selecting a site, consider that several reviewers mentioned leveling challenges on sloped pads, particularly at sites near water features.

    Ridgeline Campground — Cumberland Falls State Resort Park

    Small but Nice!

    Easy to find, well marked. It’s has many (12) trails and many falls. Would definitely recommend shopping before camping, it’s several miles, and mountains, to get to stores. There are several lodging options…cottages, The Lodge, (which is beautiful) tent and RV camping. There are 2 small campgrounds ~ 1) Ridgeline which accommodates RVs up to 26”, water and 10/30/50 amp hook ups. Sites have a fire ring and picnic table. WiFi is available, and there is a dump station. A small playground, office/campstore, and a bathhouse and laundry next to it. 3 sites are walk-in. Big rigs would have to stay elsewhere. 2) Clifty Campground is tent camping only 7 sites offer electric and water. WiFi is also offered. There is a bathhouse and a playground, and these CG’s are pet friendly. (Falls Creek is a few miles up the road…they have pull through and back ins. For bigger Rvs. They also have tents, wagons, cabin rentals, and primitive sites) We had no T-Mobile service, or satellite service in our vehicle. The trails and Cumberland falls were awesome. The horse rides looked amazing, and the Pool was big, with a diving board, and a small fee for campers to use it.

    Anchor Down RV Resort

    Gorgeous

    The Amenities - Bath House, restrooms and laundry are the finest I have ever encountered. Shower areas are large enough for families with young ones to be together with wet, dry, sink and commode area all in one room - some shower heads are adjustable for height and become hand held. Cleanliness was amazing. All campsites had concrete pad, fire pit or gorgeous fireplace, metal picnic table and they deliver a bucket of firewood for $5. Was surprised the only bug we encountered were flies - not one mosquito. Pet friendly - pick up stations and off leash area with activities for active breeds.

    The Farm RV Resort

    The Perfect Getaway: The Farm RV Resort Review

    If you’re looking for an idyllic spot to park your RV and unwind, The Farm RV Resort is an absolute gem. Nestled in a serene countryside setting, this resort offers the perfect blend of nature and comfort. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff who made check-in a breeze. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with spacious, level sites that provide plenty of room for both our RV and outdoor activities. We particularly loved the well-kept grass areas and the full hook-ups, making it super convenient for extended stays. The resort has a rustic charm that makes you feel like you’re getting away from it all, yet it still provides modern amenities. One of the highlights of our stay was the peaceful atmosphere. The surrounding farm landscape, with its rolling fields and calm breeze, is perfect for those who enjoy the quiet outdoors. We spent our evenings watching sunsets, enjoying the fresh air, and even taking walks around the grounds. For those looking for activities, the resort offers a variety of fun options. There’s a cozy clubhouse with games and a small store for essentials, plus a community fire pit where guests can gather and share stories under the stars. We also enjoyed the nearby trails, perfect for hiking or biking. Whether you're a family looking for a relaxing retreat, a couple seeking a quiet getaway, or an RV enthusiast wanting to experience the countryside, The Farm RV Resort checks all the boxes. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning our next visit!

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Great base camp for the area

    Great place to stay for Cumberland Falls. Clean facilities. The place is great for any size RV/Camper. I was in a 40 footer. Just a few need to knows.

    • Wireless is unreliable and if there are a lot of people it is unavailable -Limited cell service really only consistent if you walk up to the road, I dont have booster.
    • Only the pull thru sites have sewer taps. All sites have water and 50 amp service though and a dump station is available.

    Patrick’s Point River Camp

    A great little getaway spot!

    We will absolutely be back! I’ll be honest, as a visibly queer person with rainbow hair I was a bit nervous about the Bible verses and Christian flag due to past experiences, but Patrick and Angelica were welcoming and friendly the entire time!

    The RV spot with shade was great! It’s right next to the bathroom but everyone is spread out enough it wasn’t an issue at all.

    Strong WiFi, pet friendly, and a beautiful, peaceful spot with very friendly owners!

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Probably great in the summer

    This was a one night stop on our way to Ohio. The property is nice and the sites are spacious. Didn't really like the placement of the fire ring. Had we used it, we would have been listening to our neighbor's music most of the night. We had a W/E site. Our Verizon cell signal was terrible and the campground wifi was not much better. The sites were gravel but were level. We didn't use the showers but they looked clean. The laundry room had only 1 washer and 1 dryer. The playground is best suited for toddlers. The dump station would have been convenient if we were dumping on the way in, but not placed well for dumping upon departure. They did have a zip line and a gem mining station for an extra cost. It was secluded enough that there wasn't a lot of road noise at night. It seems like it would be a nice enough campground during the summer. For the price paid for the site, it would have been nice to have included some of the extra activities. No cell or wifi service would probably keep us from staying here again as it was impossible to get any work done. Be sure to check out the Birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken. We didn't get to go inside the cafe(COVID), but we did have some photo ops outside.


Guide to Shawanee

RV camping near Shawanee, Tennessee offers sites scattered across the Cumberland Plateau and Great Smoky Mountain foothills, with elevations ranging from 900 to 1,500 feet. The region receives approximately 50 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush surroundings but also requiring campers to prepare for sudden weather changes. Summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F with high humidity, while spring and fall provide more moderate conditions for outdoor recreation.

What to do

Water recreation at Douglas Lake: Anchor Down RV Resort provides direct lake access with custom amenities. "We love staying here. It is so well done. Each site is clean and roomy with private fire pit. The premium sites have custom fireplaces and the views are gorgeous. I imagine it's lots of fun in the summer with the lake and the private beach," noted one visitor at Anchor Down RV Resort.

Explore the Urban Wilderness: Located just 20 miles from Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park, Knoxville's Urban Wilderness offers extensive trail systems. "We were just passing through and it was the perfect spot to stay the night. We called that afternoon and they had a site for us, the gentleman who welcomed us was so kind and friendly. It's just off the highway, close to gas and coffee, yet it felt like we were way out in the middle of nowhere," reported one camper at Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park.

Disc golf and trail access: Leeman Field Park offers extensive outdoor recreation options beyond typical campground amenities. "Great little park located in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia beside of Leeman Field park in Pennington Gap. Easy sites to get into with full hookups. Neighboring Leeman Field park has multiple playgrounds, picnic shelters, swimming pool, tennis courts, and disc golf course," shared a reviewer at Leeman Field Park.

What campers like

River views: Many campgrounds feature waterfront sites with unobstructed views. "Very clean and beautifully landscaped! Location was great, right on the river bank, gorgeous views," noted a guest at Two Rivers Landing RV Resort.

Bathroom facilities: Clean facilities rank highly in camper satisfaction. "The Amenities - Bath House, restrooms and laundry are the finest I have ever encountered. Shower areas are large enough for families with young ones to be together with wet, dry, sink and commode area all in one room - some shower heads are adjustable for height and become hand held. Cleanliness was amazing," reported one Anchor Down RV Resort visitor.

Off-road access: Several campgrounds cater to ATV enthusiasts. "Level dry gravel pull through camper pads. I think all were full hook ups, some may have only been water and electric. Very clean and well maintained, quiet and no interstate noise. Safe for families, great for kids. The trails are well maintained and all levels of riders will have a full week of fun here!!" shared a camper at Royal Blue RV Park.

What you should know

Reservation challenges: Popular resorts fill quickly, requiring advance planning. "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 instead of releasing the dates on the website!" advised a visitor to Anchor Down RV Resort.

Campfire restrictions: Not all RV parks allow open fires. "Nice clean bathrooms, Nice sites with full hookup. Right in the middle of a lot to do, that's why we want to come back when it's warm!" noted a Two Rivers Landing visitor.

Site leveling issues: Some parks require additional equipment for proper setup. "Upon arrival there was no one at the office. Checkin is at 2 and we arrived at 4:53 pm. We had to call a number to get ck'd in which was a bit off putting. The one review that was posted said the sites were level. Where we parked which was 9 is not. It's uphill and was very difficult to level out the rv," warned a Cumberland Falls RV Resort visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: Multiple resorts offer swimming options for children. "We loved our time here. Very clean with paved sites, pool, basketball and lake. Great place to spend a whole week. We will be back!" shared an Anchor Down visitor.

Playground access: Several parks feature dedicated children's areas. "This camp ground is nothing short of luxurious! From its level concrete sites to it's bathhouses, they have spared no expense in creating the nicest campground possible! There's a super cute and fun dog park, arcade room, very nice pool area, food truck with anything you could want to eat, and the workers are super nice," noted another Anchor Down camper.

Holiday activities: Some resorts organize seasonal events for families. "Every Saturday in October, campers decorate their site and hand out candy to the costumed campers! My kids LOVED that. We have already booked for this next October and plan to make it a tradition!" shared a family who visited Anchor Down RV Resort.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategy: Choose carefully based on rig size and requirements. "The sites have hedges on either side, which make the sites more private. Although the sites are very narrow. We are in the fifth wheel/trailer sites. We liked it here and would stay again," advised a Two Rivers Landing camper.

Electrical options: Verify available power connections before booking. "We stayed here recently for our first time and really enjoyed it. The water park is great for kids and it has a restaurant and an ice cream shop. It's spacious and the people who work there are so friendly," reported a visitor to Forest Grove RV Resort.

Water pressure considerations: Some campgrounds have pressure regulators installed. "They have a pressure regulator on the water so showering was like a spit bath and took forever to get the shampoo out of my 'short' hair," warned a Royal Blue RV Park visitor.

Highway noise factors: Proximity to interstates affects site tranquility. "This a an RV park, not a resort. It has everything you need: full hook ups, dog park, laundry. Clean, well kept and friendly. Sites are small and close, but work even for the larger rigs. A safe and reasonably priced place to spend a night while traveling," reported an Escapees Raccoon Valley visitor.
