14 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV resorts and parks accommodate motorhome travelers in the Douglas Lake and Smoky Mountains region near Talbott. Anchor Down RV Resort in Dandridge operates from March through December with full hookup RV sites on concrete pads, offering 50-amp electric service suitable for larger rigs. Forest Grove RV Resort provides 200 RV sites with both 30 and 50-amp connections. "The sites are level. No grass to worry about rocks hitting a window when they mow," noted one visitor about Forest Grove's concrete pads. Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park in Kodak offers full hookup sites on grassy terrain with adequate spacing between sites, while Two Rivers Landing RV Resort in Sevierville remains open year-round with sewer and electric connections.
Most RV parks in this area require advance reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Cellular service varies throughout the region, with most parks offering reliable WiFi connections as an alternative. According to one visitor, Dumplin Valley Farm RV Park provides "very soft green grass over the entire RV park. Plenty of room for pets to walk on lead." Dump stations are available at most facilities, though Two Rivers Landing notably lacks this amenity. Propane filling services are generally not offered on-site at area campgrounds. Many parks enforce restrictions on campfires, with Two Rivers Landing prohibiting open fires entirely. Nearly all parks welcome pets but implement standard leash policies.

LegendBeautiful campground with all the amenities. If you like rustic in the woods this is not your place, but they advertise what they are. Top dollar for top service and gorgeous sites. All the frills if that’s what you want. We love both. Lots of grass for dogs and good dog parks if that’s important.
TravelerNext door to trolley depot, and Old Mill heritage. Walking path along river. Walking distance to shops. Nice camping spots, clean showers and bathrooms. Lots of kids amenities, pool open most of the time.
GuideWell it was my first time and I went with this guy Brandon and his family. We had the lake in front of us, cooked out, had our music, restrooms, and showers. I loved the experience we should have brought us an air conditioning battery operated air conditioning unit or a fan. So I loved the beauty and the ones I was surrounded by. We even went out on the lake in a boat. We had a lot to keep us occupied, and happy for our 4 day stay! Wonderful sunrises and sunsets to make your days and nights perfect!
TravelerWe have stayed here several times over the years. It's nothing fancy but it is on the creek, sites are level and spaced fairly good. Kids have a pretty good play area and like to feed the goats. Love the tubing access!
TravelerVisited in October of 2025 to go to Dollywood. Close to everything yet feels private. VERY well maintained and super friendly hosts. Nighttime activities like bingo, games for kids, large tv area, loved the creek. Would stay there again.
TravelerSuper clean park, friendly hosts that had planned activities for evenings, close to most everything but yet felt out of the hub. would stay again
TravelerShowers give you maybe 20 seconds of warm ish water. The. Pretty much tap temps. Amazingly it’s still completely fogs up the bathhouse mirrors due to the inadequate exhaust. That may. Be due to the temp, exhaust, and venting strings are easily manipulated by one of the million children in the “Resort”. It’s not a resort in any way. It’s a campground that has really nice pads. Marginal hookups. Lots and lots and lots of bears. Big BIG bears. I’m a bear hunter. There isn’t one I’ve seen that isn’t a legit Pope and Young. The toilets are clean. The floor and showers are gross. The lazy river is cold. Hot tube warm. If you are a camper spending $250 a night and a resort fee per person, you still don’t get given a towel to use the pool. Front desk actually said the towels were NOT for campers but for “ hotel resort” guest. So why am I paying the fee? We stayed here because it was a Margaretaville property. There are many other nicer and cheaper options in town. It’s expensive. The bar car does not exist. There is wood delivery. But it’s a bundle of twigs for $10. It is dry. The food is Sysco crap and the inside bars are just part of the kids arcade or cafeteria. Live music was super strange. The guy literally was standing in the doorway to the cafeteria bar. Don’t waste your money here. If you do anyway, plan on bears digging thru your stuff every night. Kids? Dogs? And Bears……not good.
LegendWe took US-321 into the back side of Gatlinburg to avoid the downtown craziness. RV Life GPS guided us directly to Twin Creek RV Resort, while Waze suggested a few shortcuts that we wisely passed on. The campground (CG) entrance was a little tight and downhill, but we had no trouble getting to the office for check-in. One of the very friendly and helpful staff members escorted us to back-in site 14, where backing in was easy. We wanted to lower our toy hauler patio to enjoy the creek running behind the sites, and the staff kindly allowed us to park our F-450 in site 38 across the road to give us more room. Our site had a nice patio area with a long bench, picnic table, and nearby fire pit. CG Wi-Fi was so-so at 6.17 Mbps download. Verizon had 2 bars and T-Mobile had 3 bars, while our T-Mobile Home Internet delivered a respectable 106 Mbps download. There was considerable road noise from US-321, especially during daylight hours, although evenings were noticeably quieter. The fenced dog park was small, but there was plenty of room around the CG to walk our pup. Overall, we enjoyed our creekside site, the helpful staff, and the convenient location away from the busiest part of Gatlinburg.
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

Proximity to attractions: River Plantation RV Resort provides convenient access to regional highlights.

Quieter alternatives: Some parks offer distance from congested tourist areas. "This is a small, quiet campground just outside the craziness of Pigeon Forge.

Reservations essential: Booking well in advance is necessary, particularly for premium waterfront spots. "It is so hard to get a reservation here, so we decided to take what we could get. 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!"

Site selection for larger families: At River Plantation, request specific accommodations when traveling with multiple RVs. "We asked for 2 premium sites side by side as we were camping with family in another rv. We were guaranteed sites next to each other so we would be able to share the spaces behind us."
