Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Palmer, TN

Friendly Staff, Clean Bathrooms, Convenient Location. No honeywagon for water and electric only sites, but dump station in campground. Some very nice private sites and none of the sites except maybe a few look very small or tight- pretty spread out. Lots of tent sites. You definitely hear the highway here, but not a big concern for us. Pet friendly with a very nice dog park. Pool for the kids. Playground is little more than a residential style wood swingset, but it kept the kids entertained.

Nice site, great staff, bathrooms were clean. Spaces were a little tight, but not terrible. Dog park was great for our dog to run around off leash for a while.

We enjoyed our stay at Raccoon Mountain. Sites were a good size. Not right on top of each other. The caverns were pretty cool. Having the dog park close by was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Called on the way from Cades Cove and reserved a spot. We arrived to a friendly reception and fast check-in. Easy pull throughs and back ins. But the best part is the location. Not to mention the dog park is the bomb!

Racoon Mountain Campground is so awesome. One of my absolute favorite places to hang out for a week. Awesome view of Lookout Mountain. All the amenities you need with full hookups and wifi. Great dog park. Nice campstore. Lots of fun things to do nearby Chattanooga

Quiet campground tucked away on Lookout Mountain, with super friendly and helpful staff. The campground is very well maintained, has a large pool, playground and giant in-ground bounce ballon for the kids, and a fenced in dog park complete with slides and playground equipment for dogs! There is a walking trails around the campground. The bathroom\shower house was impressive to say the least, very clean and renovated.

This campground is beautiful in the middle of the mountains. It is unique as well, in that there is a cavern entrance right on site. You are able to do a quick 45 minute knowledge tour or you can do a muddy tour, which is longer and takes you further into the cavern.

There are RV and tent sites available as well as large group sites. The bathhouse a nice size and very well kept. There is also a laundry facility on site, which is nice for those the want to go in the mud rooms on the long tour. There are two different stores, one is for the camping reservations, and the other is for the caverns. They are doing renovations, so the cavern store is in a little trailer right now (August 2018).

The people were very nice and helpful. We stayed during the rainy season, so the lady in charge that day, made sure to drive around and warn us that in an emergency situation, we would either go in the cave for shelter, or the bathhouse, which is made of brick. It was nice to know she cared so much to drive to each site and warn us. Luckily, we only got a small shower the next morning, so we had no weather issues.

Lastly, and very important to us, was the on site dog park. My dog was very happy to run and chase her ball off of a leash. Its large and well maintained with a small dog ramp inside.

Side note, there are about 12 cats that roam the facility. The are very friendly and will not hesitate to jump in your car or trailer so keep an eye out for them!!

This is a beautiful park with very roomy, clean restrooms, a general store, docks, dog park, and playground. The boat ramp is used early and late, with the trailers bouncing over speed bumps which can make it very noisy, especially on the weekends. The pool and pavilion are fantastic, and the views are lovely.

I agree with the other reviews posted so far. Nice (but small) lots, most were level. Tents and cabins are available also. Nice staff, we got there after they closed but someone still met us and helped us find our spot. Nice bath house, laundry house, swimming pool, and dog park. Very close to Chattanooga sights.

We’ve stayed at this campground several times over the past 20 years. It has actually improved since our last visit 7-8 years ago. Bathrooms/showers are very nice…each guest gets a private room with shower, sink and toilet. Dog park is very nice, and trails are good. Campground is quite hilly but our site (15 pull through) was level. Only suggestion would be a better stocked store.

Very nice camp ground right beside the interstate. On the TN/GA boarder. Easy to get to anything. Chattanooga, TN is right there s ok much to see and do. No bathhouse,pool or other amenities. Does have very nice place to walk, dog park/wash,corn hole, fire pit with two chairs to use. We loved it there. Check the price. Pull thru sites with picnic table.

This is a nice spot with decent sites. It has a large although dated pool with minimal seating and no shade, there is a pavilion with shade on the other side of the pool fence. The dog park is large but all gravel with no grass or dirt. There is a jump pillow which the kids enjoyed. The real downfall to this KOA is the not welcoming and unfriendly staff. The check in process felt aggressive and any encounter with staff that I was involved in or witnessed was not very friendly at all.

I should have gotten one of their little cabins...they look cozy and they are right next to the primitive camping.

I checked in after hours and its a little confusing as to where I can park my car back here. I am next to a sign that says cars aren't allowed beyond this point, but I see another group who have their car... beyond said point. There's a water spigot behind the sign, so perhaps its just meant as a warning so drivers don't crash into it.

The sound of people's wood cracking in their fire is stressing my retired greyhound dog out, but he's never been around camp fires before.

Place seems nice enough in general.

They have a little dog park... that's cool.

And I have two bars of 5G service through T-Mobile.

Easy to follow maps, beautiful scenery with waterfalls. Hiked 13 miles trails are clean and taken care of. Staff helpful and friendly. My dog loved it. Pet friendly. Very nice camp ground for camping in tent.

Battlefield Campground & RV park is locates right off the exit in Ringgold, Ga, right behind the Georgia Winery, so it is very close to Chattanooga. The campground seems to have a lot of long term guests, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing retreat to the woods. The sites are very close to each other, and most of them were full when we stayed. We were on site #69, right across from the pool. The Campground does have some nice amenities like the pool, and playground, dog park, and the pavilion, which I’m not sure what this space is used for, but it was nicely furnished and could be used to host a party or something. The restrooms were exceptionally clean! The bathhouse located in the pavilion was very nice. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating. The location was convenient for us to get back and forth from Chattanooga, but I would only return out of necessity, as I prefer to be a little more secluded when I’m camping.

Our RV GPS took us to 1/4 mile before the campground(CG) so we followed the CG’s website instructions and the signage to the entrance across from the Dollar Store. Check-in was easy and we proceeded to pull through site 143 with FHUs. It was very easy to pull in and utilities were nicely placed in the middle of the pad. The water pressure was good and they have a nice selection of cable channels. We got 2 bars on Verizon and 3 bars on T-Mobile. Their WiFi worked okay for a park this size. The sites are close together with no trees, so no issues with satellite use in this area. There’s a small fenced dog park at the front entrance and a couple of short trails to walk your pups. There are separate full-time and short time areas, which was nice. The full-time area was well-kept. They have a small camp store and propane. We were here to meet up with fellow Vanleigh RV owners to convoy to a rally and this was a great CG for our needs. We enjoyed our stay.

Was the best state park I’ve stayed at to date! Very safe, quiet/peaceful, family friendly, pet friendly, bath houses were clean, full hookups, pool was clean ($6/person entry fee)

There is so much traffic at all times day and night. It gets pretty aggregating other than that they clean the Porta John a cpl times a week it's pet friendly and you can hang stuff from trees and lines

This was our first time at Mountain Glen and we will return! If you are looking for a quiet, clean and beautiful campground, this is the place. Full hook ups, very pet friendly, friendly staff. Giving it ALL the stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
