Pull-through sites are available at several parks, particularly beneficial for those driving big rigs or towing trailers. Manchester KOA, located just off I-24, offers what one visitor called "the easiest pull-through we've ever had as it's angled straight in from the street, no maneuvering to center the rig." Dump stations are present at most established campgrounds, though not all sites offer full sewer hookups. Cell service varies by location, with stronger coverage reported near Nashville and along the I-24 corridor. Parks situated on lakes or in more mountainous terrain may have spotty reception.

    Rvino - The Broken Banjo

    Love this place

    I stayed in spot 8 during the Coronavirus lockdown. The staff is very friendly. It’s near I-24 which makes getting places easy. It will be noisy if you are sound sensitive. It is well maintained. The laundry room is great. You can get anything you need from the store. Perfect pull through sites for a big rig overnight stop. Great sites with picnic table, fire pits for longer stays. Nice pool, sparkling clean restrooms. The dogs loved the dog park. The amenities for kids are great. Highly recommend.

    Spring Lake RV Resort

    Nice and quiet little campground.

    64 full hook-up with 30 and 50 amp electric on the sites. Site 1 only had a 30 amp and was the smallest in the campground. They had wifi and cable TV that was available. Sites were fairly level. I had to use 2 yellow flat blocks on site 1. Restrooms and showers were closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. We were told they were full but several sites remained empty during our stay. Would have liked to have had a lake side site or a larger level site. Owners were friendly as well as the guests. I believe they had some full-time living there too. I would go back.

    Mountain Glen RV Park & Campground

    The Best of the Best!

    Mountain Glen is a hidden gem! If you are traveling through eastern TN or just looking for a place to park your RV for a few weeks or longer of peaceful quiet then you have to stay here. I've stayed in RV parks across 38 states and never found cleaner bathrooms, friendlier customer service, or faster WiFi (and that's important since I work remotely!) than what Mountain Glen RV Park offers. They've also got great water pressure, easy pull-throughs, after-hour check-in options, and a convenient store in case you forgot some essentials. In addition to the great amenities, you'll be greeted by rolling scenic vistas of beautiful countryside, having fishing opportunities, pavilion or indoor meeting room to hang out with friends, playground for the kids, and pet friendly areas for your dogs to enjoy.

    Mountain Glen is definitely a must-stay and the best of the best of all the RV parks and campgrounds I've ever stayed at!

    Spring Lake RV Resort

    Our favorite RV park this trip

    We were on an sudden, urgent trip with minimal pre-planning and no reservations. We contacted Spring Lake an hour before arrival and they were super helpful, providing a level overnight pull-through site reservation. We were arriving an hour after the office closed and they made arrangements to help us get settled. We were so appreciative of the consideration. Overall we felt the amenities and the setting were the nicest of this 1200 mile trip. Pretty, very well maintained. Level sites with picnic table and convenient hook-ups. The sites are built around a small lake. I suspect most of the leases are long-term. Friendly manager and friendly residents. We walked around the lake and found they had sitting areas and gazebos where you could relax during the day or at night. A couple of miles off the interstate so no road noise and very quiet at night. You can pick up fast food dinner on the way to the park.

    Edgar Evins State Park Campground

    GlamperGirl

    This is my favorite place to camp. If you have furbabies you will love it. All campsites except the primitive are huge decks. Electric, water, grill, fire ring, picnic table and canopy of trees. Bathrooms are always clean. Showers have hot water fast. Fire wood is all around in the woods. Kayaking is great! Put in below Center Hill dam. 6 mile run of clear cold water! Stocked with trout. I don't fish but if you do, you will need a trout stamp. If you don't own kayaks there is a store called Big Rock Market. You can contact them and they will set you up with kayaks and they drop off and pick you up. So, back to the campground. Dog friendly, clean, 30 and 50 amp.,coin laundry at the camp store. Dump station and trash. Playground for children, view of the lake from most sites. Marina where you can rent boats. I just can't say enough about this awesome place. Friendly staff. I actually just stopped the ranger driving by to ask him a few questions. I am at site 9 this time. Usually 25. Some have inclines or declines. 9 has a slight decline 25 is flat. When you go to the map and click on a site it will tell you. Like site 23 is right next to a bathroom, but it has a steep incline. So pay attention to that when booking. There are hiking trails and wildlife. The woodpeckers start about 6:00 am. LOL! I have not seen a snake in the camping area. Just deer and birds.

    Elm Hill RV Resort

    Beautiful location

    This park is located on a peninsula on a lake close to Nashville. Almost every site has a view of the water on flat concrete big pads. Some sites, on higher land, are mostly long term residents. Most sites are back in but there are a few pull through. Each site has all hook ups and are very well maintained. The sites are close together but not uncomfortable. There is a camp store at the main office. The pool is very nice and there are games, a playground and a pavilion. There was a band there during my stay. Activities planned throughout the month. It is more expensive than most but the quality of the site is worth it.

    Shady Acres RV Park

    Shady Acres campground, Lebanon Tn

    This is a perfect spot for passing through town. We are in our way to North Carolina from Mississippi. My husband made this reservation over the phone with a really trusting kind person. They double checked the availability because they were almost totally full. It was a pull through spot close to the bathrooms. We were able to use just electrical hook up for the night to rest. It’s a few minutes off I-40 and lots of gas options close by. It’s only minutes from Nashville downtown. This is a family owned business with a permanent house in the front. Looked like there were some long term rental people here. If it were summer months there is a pool up front. We will add this to our list for location and price!

    Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

    Great for RVs, Ok for Tents

    This campground is located within the Cumberland Mountain State Park. The sites are set up for RVs and it is very popular.

    Pros: There is no camp store, but there are vending machines available. There are restrooms available. Staff is in the office during business hours. There are 2 short hiking trails (less than 1 mile in length each). There are playgrounds, a lake for fishing, and a golf course. Each site has parking for 1 vehicle, a large gravel pad, water and electric hookup, picnic table, and lantern hook.

    Cons: site are very close together. Tents and RVs do not have separate loops. No camp store. No showers.

    Overall, this campground is set up to cater more toward those with RVs than people camping in tents.


Guide to Smithville

Smithville, Tennessee offers varied RV camping options within 40 miles of Center Hill Lake, a 18,220-acre reservoir with 415 miles of shoreline. The region features limestone bluffs, mixed hardwood forests, and elevations ranging from 650 to 1,500 feet. Summer temperatures average 85-90°F with high humidity, while spring and fall provide milder camping conditions.

What to do

Waterfall hiking: 1.2 miles round-trip. At Greeter Falls Campground, campers enjoy direct access to waterfall trails. "Very clean bath house and grounds. Friendly staff inside small camp store. Spacious sites. Walk or drive to Greeter Falls trailhead for a beautiful waterfall hike," notes Jennifer U.

Disc golf: 9-hole course. Bigfoot Adventure RV Park & Campground provides outdoor activities beyond standard camping. "Had a blast fishing in the ponds. Didn't get a chance to zip line but looks like a blast. They seem to be adding things… disc golf maybe. Great park with clean facilities," reports Frank A.

Water sports rentals: $30-50/hour. Percy Priest Lake offers jet ski and kayak rentals through marinas. "We only stayed for two days but it was a great experience. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed the beautiful lake. Highly recommend bringing bug spray for your RV because at night they are all over the door and walls," shares a Four Corners RV Resort visitor.

What campers like

Upgraded bathroom facilities: code-access. Paradise on the Mountain RV Park receives consistent praise for cleanliness. "The bathrooms are spectacular and sparkling clean. They have a hand built fireplace under a large overhang near the office. Great space for grilling or hanging out," according to Jessica D.

Pet amenities: enclosed dog parks. Many campgrounds accommodate four-legged travelers with dedicated areas. "We are a week into a month long stay and I can't say enough great things about this park. There is a great dog trail and a fenced dog run. Close to the interstate, but not too noisy," notes Jason W. at Paradise on the Mountain.

Lakefront camping: concrete pads. Waterfront sites provide direct lake access for swimming and boating. "We spent a week on a Lakefront site with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Additionally, we were right next to one of the courtesy docks where our family members picked us up on their boat," explains Erich H. from Four Corners RV Resort.

What you should know

Seasonal insect activity: May-September. Mosquitoes can be problematic near water. "Pros - the site itself looks brand new. Everything is up to date, and there were no issues at all. Cons - MOSQUITOS! The first and last night we stayed the mosquitos were so bad we couldn't be outside," warns Chris L. about Four Corners.

Site specifications: measure carefully. Some campgrounds have strict size limitations. "Be sure to check the site measurements. Our only complaint was the site size & distance to our neighbor. We stayed at primitive site 1. Flat area for your tent, then a slight slope towards the walkway," explains Karlie from Greeter Falls Campground.

Tent camping restrictions: verify before booking. Some RV parks prohibit tent camping entirely. "Couldn't even stay here because I have a roof top tent/camper was super excited. Nice lady I talked to when I tried to book but apparently the owners allow no types of tents," shares Steve H. about his experience with Four Corners.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: recently built facilities. R&R RV Campground welcomes families with kid-friendly amenities. "There a few pull throughs sites that have full hookup then a row of electric & water sites. Dogs allowed but like always you have to clean up after and be a good dog owner. There's also a scavenger hunt he put out that's super fun!!" reports Elizabeth L.

Swimming options: beach areas with rocky bottoms. Several lakeside campgrounds offer swimming areas. "The swimming pool and laundry facility were clean. The only 2 things that need improvement are the beach area, possibly some more sand, and extending the swimming boundary. Rocky Bottom must wear water shoes," advises Erich H.

Adventure activities: zip lines for ages 5+. Activities beyond standard camping provide entertainment for energetic children. "Great weekend get away. Clean, great walking trails, fun zip lines. Clean bath house only one shower but it wasn't a problem getting in," writes Felicia about Bigfoot Adventure RV Park.

Tips from RVers

Overnight convenience: pull-through access. Shady Acres RV Park provides efficient options for travelers passing through. "This is a perfect spot for passing through town. It was a pull through spot close to the bathrooms. We were able to use just electrical hook up for the night to rest. It's a few minutes off I-40 and lots of gas options close by," notes Laura D.

Site leveling: bring blocks. Some RV sites require minor adjustments for comfort. "Sites were fairly level. I had to use 2 yellow flat blocks on site 1. Restrooms and showers were closed due to Covid-19 restrictions," explains Chris H. from a stay at Spring Lake RV Resort.

Supply access: proximity to retailers. RV camping near Smithville provides convenient access to necessities. "Local camping supply store across the street and a walmart just down the road that came in handy. Love the scenic views. Campground owner is helpful and responsive," shares Jody C. about R&R RV Campground.
